>I don't acception ANY information (News Media, Polls, ect.) at face value. I accept them as the view of the source presenting them.

Agreed.

>You stated that 1000's of participants take part in the polls. Where is that information published? I have not seen a single poll in recent weeks state anything except the percentages.

I admit that I start from the assumption that a multimillion dollar news organization does not publish polls without using standard measurement techniques. I think that if they did try to get away with this, the other networks, newspapers and magazines would be very quick to point that out.

>A branch of a political party maybe conducting the poll with 1000's of registered members of their party. (Both parties conduct polls so I'm not saying that one party is more honest then the other)

No news organization is going to publish the results of a poll conducted by a political party as if it were truly objective. Given that, I'd expect such polls to indeed be accurate (and not just the result of polling the party's members, if the poll was on a general issue), because, not being able to use them for propaganda, the commissioners would instead be more interested in real information about the people's feelings.
