having a silly fascination yet healthy skepticism of polls, i realize word selection and sampling greatly impact the results of polls.
an interesting compare-contrast of the various 'poll houses' (like gallup, zogby, fox, ap, etc) reveals an underlying 'bias' within each polling outfit.
an interesting note is that despite charges of being a right wing mouthpiece, fox news polls were 'positive' for bill clinton as well as george w bush.
essentially, you could just average gallup and zogby, or just head over to poll aggregator real clear politics
