The sole loser crowd has really outdone itself this time That "crowd" spent the two months before the election telling us that the polls did not matter. Come election day, they matter. LOL Both Nixon and Reagan consistently performed better than their poll numbers. It just wasn't "cool" to have voted for either one of them and many voters would simply lie to the pollsters. I think that it is very dangerous to put much faith in the results of election polls when you can only get a 53% response rate. At the same time, I have to tell you that I was more than a bit disturbed when Drudge posted the early numbers. I had to keep reminding myself about Nixon and Reagan.
