Polls are facts about statistics.
A poll isn't a fact about anything except the people who participated.
The poll itself is a fact about the statistical sample taken. Which is
exactly what I said (though apparently not in a verbose enough way for some
of you).
If you feel you have some good reason to dispite the Gallup poll results,
I'm all ears. If all you can come up with is "well, there's a 0.000000001%
chance that the poll is incorrect", then while that may be perfectly true,
it's a pretty useless statement.
The FACT remains that there's a much larger chance that the poll correctly
describes the overall electorate than that it doesn't.
