More examples of why I don't believe polls

So, the mantra at the beginning of the week was that the polls are narrowing, and now we get a NYT/CBS poll showing Obama with a 14 point lead?

I smell a rat. I smell a desperate attempt to create crushing despair among conservatives and an appeal to any voters who actually are stupid enough to vote for a guy for no other reason than that he's winning. It may be that the so-called independents are coming home to roost, or it may be that the poll was weighted for Manhattan residents. Who knows. Obama may still win this election, but this poll is a joke.
