Interestingly, nearly all of the movement in vote percentage was in the not sure, undecided category.
Thank God Nat’l polls mean exactly squat. In primaries it is state by state that counts. Last I checked, Ruby isn’t leading in any poll, in any state, amongst likely Repub voters.
Yes, the national polls have been essentially worthless.
And one thing I will never understand is who the heck is actually supporting McCain. Where do these people come from? It’s as if they’ve been living in a cave with no modern amenity sans a telephone to answer McCain for the pollsters when they call.
damn all the guys I like are at 1%, except Newt but I am going wobbly on Newt.
Don’t bring your love to town. ;-D
I wonder why Duncan’s support fell 50 percent from 2 percent to 1 percent again. He is just not gaining traction at all. This is disappointing. Of course most will say that polls don’t matter, but I think that they do.
As for al-Hagel, Nebraska has only one Republican Senator, and that’s the Democrat, Ben Nelson.
JulieAnnie’s support will continue its long, slow inevitable drop. The more that people know about him, the more he will drop. It will, however, take time to get the ‘word out’ on him!
That "honor" really belongs to Bob Dole who, knowing that Newt was planning to be a candidate in 1996, decided to play "grown up" for the media, and sabotaged Newt just as Clinton was on the ropes. Media portrayed Newt and the House "revolutionaries" as the "children" and played some in House leadership, who were not above taking Newt down a peg for their own personal benefit, and "elder statesman" Dole in the Senate as "grown ups" to split the party. Media succeeded, then laughed at Dole when he, thinking that they really like him, was asking "Where is the outrage?"
“Tom Tancredo - Personal favorite for President, unfortunately he isn’t going to win.”
Tom Tancredo impressed me at the last debate, followed by Hunter. He looks like a good man.
I personally don't believe in polls that don't include most of the population. The breakdown for this poll is 900 people(not even likely voters) = 18 registered voters per state. That's about .00000002 percent of the registered voters per state, this poll certainly is a joke.
I guess I just want to take them seriously and do something about them. I heard the entire month of September and October 2006 what a joke poles were and even much sooner than that. Somehow people were SHOCKED on 8 November to find out that they were right. I just don’t want people to ignore them again.
Angus Reid is an unreliable, Canadian-based poll...
“Telephone interviews with 900 registered American voters”
Is this s@#t really worth posting?
Waiting for Rudie to drop out to see who the real candidates will be.
Not only that, but national polls of “registered American voters” are worth even less than squat.
As the primary draws nearer, the average voter will start to pay closer attention to the candidates and Rudy will continue to lose support as more Republicans learn about the sum total of his views and of his sordid personal life.
“And one thing I will never understand is who the heck is actually supporting McCain.”
Independents and democrats.
