When We Lie
The Wall Street Journal has an excellent article about when people lie to pollsters or about how they voted. It deals with race, but also with age, and suggests that the research data show there is substantial bias against African-Americans and against the elderly. In other words, these issues could cut against both candidates in the presidential race. The article is quite detailed, and deals with areas of bias beyond the two mentioned above.
