Presidential elections are a big test for the polling industry - their final results get compared to the real thing in front of the whole world, and it affects their commercial business. So it wouldn't be in their interest to blow smoke; it's much more in their interest to get it right.

So Nov 2 will be a big test for the pollsters.
