Anthony Weiner

We're finding that it's reflecting one-to-one the voters at the polls. It reflects the populace.

Charles Franklin

I'm sure it will help him in the polls. But, whatever. He gets my vote.

Ryan Clark

Art Torres

We face a battle for hearts and minds sometimes with animal rights groups who have figures of their own and polls of their own.

Andy Curtin

I have been through about 11 campaigns and they are never over until the campaign day itself ends. As people focus on issues, not on the horse race, not on polls, not on sidebar issues, but as they focus on issues that people care about in the country it makes a difference.

Jim Bradley

The reason these things exist is because Focus on the Family and these other groups read the polls, and they know that when people think that homosexuality is a casual choice, they're going to be antigay, and they're going to support antigay laws.

They could not get Tom DeLay at the polls. They could not get Mr. DeLay on the House floor. Now they're trying to get him into the courtroom. This is not going to detract from the Republican agenda.

I have always voted every time I could get to the polls. I failed in that regard.

Joel Baker

Well, something's got to give. Otherwise Germany will be back to the polls in a few weeks' time.

Most of the polls and rankings are generated out of Little Rock and those people never bother to go see the West play. That's a lack of respect for our conference more than anything else.

Barry Gebhart

Up to this point, we are very pleased with this group. When you go up in the polls, it does create more problems. We're been up there before, but never this high. You can stay there as long as you don't lose. But this season is really just getting under way.

Ralph Miller

We have a very comfortable lead and our candidate will have a clean, clear and comfortable sweep of the polls in the first round.

Patrick Murray

Postponing the polls will have adverse impact on the Palestinians.

Bill Prindle

It's great for our fans, but it's right up there with preseason polls and preseason All-America lists. At the end of the day, you have to prove it.

Lars Tiffany

If the tests prove effective, we will consider the mass use of such equipment at the federal polls in 2007-2008.

Alexander Veshnyakov

We all know the decision is a political gimmick to please the backward castes and win polls. Politics should not come into creativity. This is a shameful decision. It would only reduce competence.

Rina Dhaka

The mayor's race is really what drives people to come out to the polls, and without it, it's hard to get people excited. This is the first time in my memory that neither the Democrats nor the Republicans have had a contested primary for mayor.

Jan Hardesty

If we can get Proposition 73 voters into the polls, it will have a benefit for the other propositions as well.

Mike Vallante

If you look at the polls, you'd have to say, the mayor is likely to win. I don't believe in polls, but a lot of Democrats are saying, 'It's over.' I know Freddy is not saying that, and I'm not saying that. You just have to hold out hope.

Geraldine A. Ferraro

Polls show this is not a high priority for Idahoans.

Sen. David Langhorst

Krysty Marin

Polls only tell you want has happened in the past. They cannot accurately predict the future.

It is potentially an interesting alternative to Gallup polls or to specialists reporting from the region. It's a way of going directly to individuals in the region or outside who have knowledge or interest in the political and economic events in the area.

Charles Polk

Those folks do polls every day. If anybody can put a poll together, it's those guys.

Steve Monks

It will be better for the ULFA to first shun violence and then contest the assembly polls and come to power.

Pramod Mahajan

Gas prices are the classic pocketbook issue for the average person and the average family, and these are things that they notice very much. It helps explain the paradox we see in the polls: The economy is very good, but right now a majority of people say it isn't. The hurricane, and its aftermath, will only exacerbate this problem.

Charlie Black

The Foreign ministry does not comment on visits by individuals. We assume that there is even less point in such meetings after the polls than there was ahead of the election.

Craig Thompson

Where are the people who lost their jobs or were denied housing? ... You've got to have a huge education campaign to tell people to go to the polls to fix a problem they don't think exists.

Dennis Bailey

Many people are saying they will not go. Many people fear they will be attacked because of the big distances they must walk to the polls.

Roberto Calderoli

We think it's an innovative way to remind California voters to get out to the polls.

Greg Creed

The important thing now, for the first time in a long time they have turned to the polls and not to the guns.

Carina Perelli

The race is a jumble. There are half a dozen candidates who are in double digits, low double digits in the polls. Nobody's a front-runner.

David Yepsen

Yet the barely-moving polls and the lack of major gaffes or policy collapses has made it duller than I, for one, hoped it would be.

Andrew Marr

Private polls have shown that his endorsement has actually moved votes.

Ethan Geto

It was definitely an adult audience and it was all ethnicities. It was 56 percent non-African-American. The exit polls are 80 percent in the top two boxes with a 69 percent 'definite recommend.' I think the picture's going to have pretty good legs.

Erik Lomis
