At times, I feel almost all of these kind of polls have margin of "+" "-" 25%. In essence, the margin of error could be as high as 25%. Let's face it, America, as developed and scientific as it is, predicted a Kerry victory in the recent election. That too, on the very election day. And we all know what happenend. Thus, 25% margin of error sounds more logical to me. Which of course can be intrepreted as - it is irrelevant. Well, more or less. At best, polls are snapshot of people's feeling at that very moment and at worst, a total waste of time.There is a fine line in between, yes, and that's where 25% error margin comes along ;) IndisGuise:)
