That was his home state which usually helps someone, not Al Gore but most people. I really don't believe this poll is accurate.

Swing? The Texas power brokers have been swinging for years.

George W. Bush swings both ways.

Polls are pretty much meaningless. We'll never know who's winning this thing until after November 4.

If anything, the candidates are in a dead heat right now.

Polls are not meaningless--not after two presidential elections were stolen. If anything, poll numbers are probably more reliable and accurate.
