Polls, Polls, Polls everywhere but what do they mean?

One day the University of New Hampshire releases a poll showing former Gov. Jeanne Shaheen (D-Madbury) with a small lead over U.S. Sen. John Sununu (R-Waterville Valley), the next day Rasmussen releases a poll that shows Sununu with a lead over Shaheen.  Both polls showed John McCain with a lead over Barack Obama but Marist College conducted a poll that had Obama beating McCain by three points.

Earlier this week in the 2nd Congressional District, Jennifer Horn's (R-Nashua) campaign released a poll that had Horn in a tight race with U.S. Rep. Paul Hodes (D-Concord), a couple days later Hodes released a poll that, you guessed it, showed Hodes with a substantial lead over Horn.

For some it might be a contradiction, but for others it is simply just another week in New Hampshire politics.  In a state in which polls showed Barack Obama with a double-digit lead over Hillary Clinton, only to see Clinton defeat Obama on primary day, having polls that shows close races and opposite results has become as common has the fall foliage.
