Kinda of surprized that Pat Buchanan did get more votes from Democrats after his popularity with them in 2000 /sarcasm!

This is interesting. Could it really become a Clinton/Edwards ticket?

[Brilliant]

When asked if they thought Sen. Clinton could win the presidential election, 59 percent of likely Democratic primary voters thought her chances were either "very good" or "pretty good."

They also stated that Hillary would be a worthy successor to Al Gore in the highest office in the land.

When asked if they thought Sen. Clinton could win the presidential election, 59 percent of likely Democratic primary voters thought her chances were either "very good" or "pretty good."

<60% of the most dedicated Democrats rating her chances as "pretty good" or better is considered good news for her? I see this as very bad news for Clinton. 41% of the most ardent Democrats in a crucial state don't think she can win.

These responses indicate that a relatively unknown socially conservative candidate, like George Allen, could swoop in and win the Republican Party's nomination over a more moderate candidate

3% isn't a swooping majority

This is a press release posted by a guy who started up a small polling business in Central Florida last month.

"worked on environmental issue elections, resulting in more than one billion dollars for land conservation"

Let there be no mistake, this chappie is a$$ deep in the Federal trough, madly funding agencies and NGO's to actualize the Communism Lite agendas such as the Wildlands Project.

I find it disgusting that a citizen could devote a life's efforts towards converting America from a nation of private owned land to a socialized nation where the Feds and the states own most of the land.

Arguably, this is treason unless raised in the context of Constitutional Convention to change the Constitution.

Since this has not happened, it is my opinion that such behavior may well be treason, or sedition at the very least. And any "poll" conducted by such a person should be looked at very closely.

Actually this seems about right at this time. Condi is very popular according to all polls in the U.S. She's polling higher than McCain and Giuliani. All the rest of the potential candidates are about right too. Its still early yet. Some will move up and some will disappear - some will move down.

Duh....

And, thankfully, there are voters in forty-nine other states and D.C. who will have some say in this.

[areafiftyone]

I don't think Clinton would want Edwards - she's not going to choose someone who ran and lost. She'll choose someone new.

[Amish]

I don't know how the sample was selected, and a 6% margin seems rather large... but the surprise here seems to be Gingerich at 20%.

That is an excellent showing for what appears to be an "under the radar" candidate.

Can any of the Floridians out there say whether he's particularly been stumping and working the state recently?

[dfwgator]

Right now, nobody cares about 2008. They throw Hillary out there, because right now she is the most famous Democrat politician.

[areafiftyone]

Duh...

LOL That about sums it up. The polls have been the same time and time again. The polls won't change until candidates start announcing their run for the presidency after the 2006 elections.

[areafiftyone]

I agree that Newt is the surprise. I did not think he would poll that well.

[atomicpossum]

What utter spin.

[FerdieMurphy]

Republicans (256 surveyed) Condoleezza Rice 26 % Rudy Giuliani 25 % Newt Gingrich 20 % George Allen 3 %

What poor choices! Where's Sanford? Tancredo?

[kddid]

Hillary Clinton will never be President of the United States. If she gets the Dem nomination, her Republican challenger will be the next President.

[Moosilauke]

FWIW John McCain comes in at 20% in the original article. He's kind of conspicuous by absence in the table as reprinted here.
