It may or may not be significant that the polls are all over the map, as Mac says. This analysis says that it is statistically likely that they would be varying. Statistics and I are not friends, so I can’t independently say yay or nay.
But I do agree that it is probably significant that not a single poll that I am aware of (though with two hundred fifty-one this month alone, how can I be sure?) shows Mac in the lead. In 2004, some polls showed Kerry in the lead and some showed Bush in the lead. This time out, at least as of this date, all of them seem to show Barry leading. The question is: will Mac take the lead between now and Tuesday? Whatever. The voters have the last word, so the important thing is to vote!
