| #1 With any poller, it's hard to avoid the 'skewing' if folks resort to lying to conceal their innermost feelings of one individual or the other. The 'Limbaugh Effect' may also be a factor (in being that Republicans will 'cross over' to vote for the candidate most likely to be less of a threat to McCain in the fall).
