I don't know which polls are the best but I'm told this one has something to do with the stock market??? or ...in some way something to do with were high rollers are placing their bets.

I heard Hugh Hewitt mention this on his program tonight. It's actually a futures market on the race. People buy contracts based on who each believes will win. I've read in the past that these markets are far more predictive than one would think. According to the graph, Kerry maxed out two days ago and has begun to recede. In contrast, Bush has begun to move up again. The results seem to go along with the thought that Kerry did get a bounce but a short one. Let's hope they're right!
