Kat: I disagree that polls are always skewed. I myself was polled on the phone a week or so ago. They only asked six questions:

1. Who are you going to vote for for president, Bush or Gore?
2. Are you sure?
3. Who are you going to vote for for Senate, the Republican or the Democrat? [They didn't name the candidates. I assume this was to save time. They wouldn't have to wait while people said "Who?"]
4. Are you sure?
5. Who are you going to vote for for Representative, the Republican or the Democrat?
6. Are you sure?

They identified themselves as a polling company. I didn't recognize the name. They didn't say who was paying for the poll. I didn't ask. They were very quick and businesslike. I don't see how you can get any more unbiased than that. (OK, if you're a Nader fan, I suppose you could complain.)
