Are the polls skewed?

Yep. And I'm gonna explain why the media does what it does, and I do not want to be accused of trolling because I am going to put this as delicately and clinically as possible: There are a lot of homosexuals in the media relative to most other professions.

Disclaimer for the diehard Democrats: I support gay marriage, so don't jump all over me. I am just trying to explain why many people in the media do what they do. It's not even subtle anymore; it's blatantly obvious at this point.

What does that have to do with the price of tea in China?

About the only polls that are skewed are internals and those are mostly skewed by using specific wording.

Party ID is fluid, one cycle someone may identify as Democrat, the next cycle may identify as an Independent. Since most pollsters don't use a specific screen, party ID can be very fluid. The thing about the Democratic base is that's is not cohesive, but a loose confederation that includes a bloc of moderates that switches identification a lot. Plus, there are plenty of those who identify as Democratic, but support Republicans and that will be picked up in any poll.

Lastly, pollsters are professionals and get paid to do what they do, putting out distorted polls doesn't serve business well. If they deliberately rigged polling and an election turned out very different than their polls said, they'd be out of business.
