		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;I would be remiss in not adding the usual caveat: While I’d rather that my candidate be ahead than behind right now, polling about November elections done in mid-June is all but worthless in predicting the outcome. &lt;/blockquote&gt;

Very true, the point of a poll is an instantaneous measure of where we are now.  they can do that well when conducted smartly.  Figuring out &quot;what will happen later&quot; based on &quot;where we are now&quot; is a hell of a lot more complicated :)</description>

		<description>Pollster aggregates polls, and to my untrained eye seemed pretty reliable across the primaries.
