I share your skepticism. It is too early in the season for the polls to be reliable for absolute values and they are deceiving because they are rarely apples to apples.

So I should not be surprised to find that Rubio's numbers are inflated or even that Trump's are conceivably inflated for that matter. But I do think the polls are worthwhile looking at in the sense that they might reveal trends and the trend I see is a growing wave against the Democrats. The question for me is whether they can stem the tide with another candidate besides Hillary? Jed's poor showing is collateral evidence of such a wave directed against the governing class.

The Democrats might be able to control matters with Bernie Sanders but only within their own ranks. Certainly a Joe Biden is too closely connected with the governing class to have cross party appeal.

Honestly, I don't think any Dem candidate without the name Kardashian has a shot.

Unless our candidate's name is Bush.
