Aren’t you the clever one?

Willard shouldn’t be tied with anyone in Iowa. He should be winning by 8-10 points.

Given the millions he's spent, Willard shouldn’t be tied with anyone in Iowa. He should be winning by 8-10 points.

Better!

From the article:

Given the margin of error, the challenges of determining the relatively small number of people who will participate in a caucus, and other factors, the race is far too close to call at this point in time.However, the fact that Romney is no longer the clear frontrunner in Iowa reflects a stunning change in the race.

Compared to our prior survey, the trend is unmistakable—Huckabee has gone up and just about everybody else has gone down. Huckabee’s 28% support represents a twelve point increase from a Rasmussen Reports poll conducted earlier in the month. Romney is down four points while Giuliani and Thompson are each down three points from the previous survey. John McCain is down two points and earns just 4% support. Ron Paul picked up a point and is now at the 5% level.

Forty-eight percent (48%) of Evangelical Christians support Hucakbee. That’s more than all the other candidates combined. Romney attracts 16% of the Evangelical vote.

I don’t know what any candidate “should” be. Candidates don’t control the voters or the pollsters. The results are what they are, and right now the religious conservatives are abandoning the other candidates and flocking to Huckabee.

But it doesn’t take a clever person to note that yesterday you called a fellow freeper a LIAR simply for accurately stating a poll result, because you INSISTED that it was a lie if you didn’t take into account the margin of error.

You were quite indignant about that, posting the same claim about lying multiple times in that thread. It seemed like it was critically important for you.

But today, nothing. Like your outrage was not at all based on fact or principle, but simply a ploy to attack someone who supported another candidate.
