If the polls are legitimate, they're not meant to "hype" (your words) any candidate.

If they are tools to promote a candidacy I do not accept them. Anybody who doesn't know Giuliani's positions on major positions by now either doesn't care or is stupid.

Polls this far out from any electoral activities are meaningless anyway. They're of interest to paid political whores or people who are in dire need of a life.

I share your opinion of polls this far out from the election. My hype comment was a reference to the fact that every time new poll results are released they are breathlessly posted to demonstrate the futility of our resistance to Giuliani.

In any case, my point was that the same polls that show Giuliani with a commanding lead also show that a majority of voters don't know his positions. A Fox News/Opinion Dynamics poll from February 13-14 showed that 19% of respondents believed Giuliani was pro-life and 44% did not know his position on abortion. Those 63% may be stupid as you say, but it doesn't change the fact that the poll numbers are skewed by a lack of knowledge of his positions.
