we all know how amazingly stupid polls are (mostly due to sampling error) but passed off as scientific.

I think polls have had a democrap bias for many, many years. The press and most polsters didn't just wake up in 2008 and decide they were liberals. They have been liberals for decades. They just felt compelled to disquise it better in earlier years.
