Watching the At Issue panel from a short time ago, Allan Gregg from Decima made an interesting point about the diminishing reliability of polls. The response rate from phone interviews is down to 15-20%, so the pollsters are now trying to cobble together different methods of data collection. That makes it very difficult for them to be able to say with any kind of certainty that the polling data they produce is an accurate representation of public opinion.
I'm really interested to see how this election plays out. I'm curious to see if the corruption accusations stick or if the economic good news dominates the minds of voters.
