Could you be more specific--several polls came out today--one from the Wall Street Journal that showed the race a tie.

Reuters uses other US Poler's for resource.
Here is an example of Reuters\Zogby. Article

Zogby is kind of unique as it was explained to me. Zogby weights its electronic polling with more Democratic samples than Republican\Independent. In doing so and maintaining same sampling it gives a baseline. So if Zogby states Bush ahead by 2 percentages points the other polls if accurate should reflect Bush with higher percentages.

Polls are in my opinion are just a gauge to test the waters and should not be heavily relied upon for conclusion. There is to many variables at play to hang ones hat on any one poll.

Poll trending would be a more accurate measurement IMO.

ARizona--generally they are done on the phone---they select a group that supposedly reflects the electorate and they phone them.

I do believe that would be in Poland - but think you would have to be a Polish citizen to vote there.

By the way, Zogby was the only polling organization in 200 that called the popular election correctly because Zogby polled up until the very last moments--something others didn't do.
