The internet skews public polling.

This is an interesting poll from the Washington Post, (click here) but, in my opinion it is slightly skewed. The internet is a captive audience.

Not all voters use or own a computer. The participation rate seems to skew more toward online opinion than others. That may be good or bad news for either candidate, but, using the internet heavily for poll results is not as valid as it could be.

It is far easier for people to follow the elections if they have an electronic devise. The devise can travel with them as they more through their day. People that are not well invested in such technology or cannot make the investment are less likely to follow the politics.

Most Americans that do not have electronic devices and may or may not follow the politics. There are households in this country that do not have television since the rabbit ears were taken from them. Seriously. I know that for a fact.

The best politics is local, so KNOCK ON DOORS and bring the politics to life for these folks. They are important voters and may not have heard the candidates' message at all. It is my opinion these folks carry their lives forward by conducting charity work through their churches.

The questions to the right above are case in point.
