A couple of "real" world issues

I was listening to the news this morning and wanted everyone's opinion on a couple of articles mentioned.

1) The Russian sub that sank. This morning the BBC reported that there were no survivors and the sub was almost completely flooded. Do you think that lives may have been saved if it didn't take so long for help?

2) According to new polls released Vice President Gore and Governor Bush are in a virtual dead heat. What do you think of these random polls? Are they accurate? Has anyone actually been called by these people? No one I know has ever said that they were polled.
