Polls

Barack Obama is trailing in the polls, but I think the polls are quite flawed, and this election will likely show that more than any other. Obama is very popular among the younger crowd, the crowd that is far less likely to have a "home" telephone. (That is how most polls are conducted, isn't it?) Therefore, the older generations get their voice, and we get underrepresented. And really, how many of these polls are actually representative? It seems it would be hard to get a representative sample, especially with how many people wouldn't bother to take the time.
