Polls are really worthless. This last week there was a poll that said the majority of people said there was no connection between Iraq and terrorism, and there was a poll that said a large percentage of people believed that Iraq was connected to 9/11. Both these polls can't be right. LOL

Polls have a margin of error of 3%... which means that 50% of the time, they will be within 3% of the right position. It's unusual for them to be more than 5% wrong. The polls you're talking about were probably somewhere in the 5% area, which is inconclusive.
