I've never seen such huge disparity in prez polls

Gallup/ USAToday/ ABC says 12% lead for the Idiot Prince

another major poll said Bushy the Chimp has a 6% lead

Pew says neck and neck even

this is clear indisputable evidence of the polls inadequacy

if a poll has a 3% sample error with 95% confidence,
then 1 poll of 20 would be outside that 3% range
not 10-12%

the controversy should focus on "likely voters" and "registered voters" and segments of the population targeted
