Why the polls don’t really matter.
At least some of them don’t.
If you go out and interview everyone in the US and 52% go for McCain and 48% go for Obama, it means NOTHING. We don’t vote that way. We vote through the electoral college. Without knowing how the votes are arranged, you can’t tell anything. Take a look at CNN’s electoral map.
Obama is up by, say, 20% (226 to 189).
However, the general polls show things much closer with Obama at 49% and McCain at 44%.
