Polls of this nature usually suffer from selection biases, since they make no attempt to take a random sample or to ensure that the sample is representative of the population. They are useless. Before Bush 1 ran against Clinton, Rush Limbaugh took a listener poll and 87% of his listeners were voting for Bush. Why should we believe this poll is any more representative of the general public than Limbaugh's poll?<br>
