Poll wars
All the main Venezuelan polling firms show Chavez with a large lead - Datanalysis, Datos, Hinterlaces, Consultores 21, etc.
So what is a poor opposition supporter supposed to do? Simple. Invent their own polling firm. And that is exactly what they did. Not only that, but they had the new, never heard of before firm, take out a full page ad in Ultimas Noticias trumpeting their results:
This isn't the first time they've done this. I've seen these ads on the results of unkown firms before. But they seem to be stepping it up a notch now. Desperation time I guess.
