I have checked out gallup, zogby ect...all the big ones, and it seems you have to be a paying member to view polls?  Can anyone recommend a legitimate free site with current info?

polls are a bunch of BS
so are pols
pools are full of BS too, but only at some farms
i was looking at all the data on a poll in the VA governor's race & 80% responded they were definitely gonna vote, another 10% were likely voters. :lol :lol :lol :rofl :rofl :rofl

with all due respect, I am not looking for your opinion whether you think polls mean anything or not...To be honest with you, I am putting together a project, and my thesis is the innacuracy of political polls, but I need to find some legitimate ones for free!

the washington post puts their poll data online in a fairly raw state
free, but you need to register
or you can use the universal login
