[lbo-talk] swing polls

[Doug Henwood]

I forwarded Shane Mage's idea for the only reputable poll, all others 
being crap, to AAPOR. A couple of early responses:

* Brits do these polls all the time - "swing" is big in Brit psephology.

* In the U.S., they do ask whom people voted for in 2000, but the 
reported results don't match the original - people inflate their vote 
for the winner.
