Without the metrics used, polls continue to be embarassingly slanted toward the politic preference of the pollster. From previous calling experience 60% of those polled are not home, or refuse to answer their phones, but he bigger question that arises: why would you waste time conducting a poll among likely democrats or republicans? It tells you nothing!

Actually, though much of what you say is true, the conclusions are not quite right. One can structure and carry out poles such that their results are helpful in understanding the groups being researched.
