Default Re: Ron Paul Wins Alabama/New Hampshire Straw Polls by Landslide

Even if you think the polls are inaccurate you can't say that Paul's support is double what he polls at. Polls taken immediately before an election have an excellent track record of being within 5%. Also, pollsters can compensate for certain groups hanging up on them disproportionately. They can and do count young respondents more heavily because of the low response rate.
