"Right now, the people seem to be choosing Giuliani. That seems to frustrate some to no end."

I do know one thing though. A FR poll surely isn't an accurate indication of who the American people seem to be leaning toward choosing. I think all FR polls should have a disclaimer that reads, "This is NOT a scientific poll. It is not in anyway an accurate representation of the electorate as a whole. Any attempt to pass this poll off as scientific or an indication of anything will make you look very stupid!!!"

A Free Republic poll is the equivalent of a straw poll of activists and political junkies, particularly when looking at the "member votes."

The media polls at this point are a meaningless joke. To attach the word "scientific" to them is accurate only as far as statistical analysis goes. They don't really measure anything other than name recognition. You do realize that as late as December 2003, John Kerry was polling at 4%, right? I wonder who the Democrat front-runner was 10 months prior to that?

Activist polls like those on FR and other conservative blogs are much more indicative of where a campaign may be headed than polls of random anybodies who aren't even paying attention yet.
