Why the polls are misleading

I just wrote this at http://blog.globaltoad.com/?p=161, the report is at http://i.a.cnn.net/cnn/2007/images/06/12/top3gop.pdf (at least for now, I have a copy on my computer as well)

According to a poll Conducted by the University of New Hampshire Survey Center by telephone on June 6-11, 2007:

14. (REPUBLICAN PRIMARY VOTERS ONLY:) Have you definitely decided who you will vote
for in the New Hampshire primary, are you leaning toward someone, or do you have no idea who
you’ll vote for?
June
2007
Definitely decided 6%
Leaning toward someone 37%
No idea who you’ll vote for 57%

Let me break this down. In New Hampshire, among people who define themselves as Republicans, only 6% (which is claimed as the margin of error for the results claiming Romney will win strangely) are decided. 57% say they have NO IDEA. Remember New Hampshire makes a big thing about the primaries, it has laws that allow it to move it’s primary to maintain it’s first in the nation status. And yet the real polling data shows that the overwhelming majority of Republicans have NO IDEA who they will vote for.

So how can the press claim that anyone is really the front runner at this stage?

Or perhaps the more pressing question is WHY is the press claiming that any one person is the front runner if this is the data that they have?
