and what about people like me (and all my buddies) who lie to pollsters

and how random was that poll ? I had a pollster call my home and asked to poll the SECOND oldest in the house, I said you got him, they repeated they wanted the SECOND oldest (meaning they were looking for the wife, since in most cases she is the SECOND oldest). When I saw the poll published, they said a random poll of x number of people, no where did it say they asked for the SECOND oldest in the house. You can do anything you want with a poll. who paid for your poll that you quoted ? I know pollsters who said they can get any number you want and they ask that when people hire them, 'what numbers are you looking to get'
