Also one must take into consideration the times that they do the polling, they mostly reach elderly folks who do not work. I know personally, no pollsters have called me, or just about anybody I know, not that we would have been home to answer the phone. The younger generation that leans toward Kerry is usually out working (or trying to find work thanks to Bush).

Actually, you may want to polls not to show you in the lead. Voters would think that you'd win anyway, and not bother voting.

The population of the US is less than 300 million.
The number of legal residents is somewhat less.
The number of legal residents of voting age is still less.
The number of legal residents of voting age who register to vote is still less again.
The number of legal residents of voting age who register to vote who vote at election is still less yet again.
The last election turned corruptly on less than 1000 votes in a farcical result.
Work the numbers.
Every vote counts (when it is counted).
No polls count.

It also doesn't count people with a cellular telephone as their main form of being reached. These days that's pretty much the entire population under 21.
