Election Poll Tracking

It really is amazing how obsessed we’ve become with up to the minute poll data. We spend time perusing individual polls and poll aggegators. One has to wonder what the real affects of this are. Are we influencing the polls or are the polls influencing us? Does a slight shift in a poll push a voter into a decisive posture?

If they are influencing us, are they accurate? Have you ever been polled? How many twenty-somethings out there don’t even have a landline? How many people pickup calls without a recognizable caller id?

Assuming there is such a thing, electoral vote predictor at electoral-vote.com seems to be one of the best out there and they have a nice RSS feed.
