3. I don't know about you, but I like to know where the race is at and heading...

If we don't have polls, we're all left in the dark until November when, on election day, it's like, "hey, surprise!"

Yeah, polls can be off. Yeah, they're not always right, but they're right most of the time. They were right in '08, right (if you read 'em all, instead of just plucking the ones that favored Kerry) in '04, '96, '92, '88, '84 and '80 - with '00 being the only time polls were generally off and that was an extraordinarily close election.

But I agree. There can be poll fatigue. Instead of every week, it should be every month.
