All:
In the Gore v Bush 2000 election, I monitored 5-6 polls in the week before
the election. None of them gave Gore a significant lead. Most had Gore behind
Bush by significant margins. We know Gore beat Bush by about half a
percentage point in the overall popular vote. Why did major polls before the election
show Bush with a significant lead, yet none showed Gore with a significant
lead? Is it possible polls are manipulated to create a "winners side" psychology
to stimulate momentum behind one candidate to encourage voters to be on the
winning rather than the losing side? After all, Americans are obsessed with
winning and being number one, are they not?
