Here's a poll where Clinton and Obama show best, and it's still horrible. No doubt it will now be 32 of the last 44 years that Republicans have controlled the White House. For Libs to win the White House, you have to have huge leads in these nationwide polls to overcome the Southern Strategy in the Electoral College.
Read and weep Anti-American Libs. Libs just aren't trusted by the population-at-large. The best Libs can ever do is win local Congressional mid-term elections, which the minority party is supposed to win--big, which Libs did not, with a 50-50 split in the Senate.
Sad. Absolutely pathetic. Real Americans love it.

Do you know anything about polls? Do you know what the margin of error is? What it means in this instance is that the leading republicans are either statistically tied with or within a percentage point or two of the leading democrats.
Do you know how many seats the democrats lost in November? Zero. None. The only reason the Dem's didn't win more seats in the senate is there were no more to win. Only a third of the senate runs every two years.
The "32 of the last 44 years" comment is meaningless. I can throw out a number and say that out of the last 74 years, 40 or more than half have been with democrats. .

Interesting poll... It is way too early to make definite decisions. What intrigues me is the number of "undecided" which can turn all those figures upside down in a heartbeat.
What this poll shows is that those asked have not given any consideration to what the issues are or the candidates position on them. Typically, Americans don't take the time to find out about the person or listen to what they have to say. They don't research their political record or what they have done in the past. American voters are lazy....they will vote for the best looking, the best dresser, the one their church tells them is the best, the one some radio-jerk tells them too. That's how we got Bush. The lazy ones who voted didn't bother to find out what a terrible governor he was, didn't explore his draft-dodging activities, didn't find out how a mental midget can go to Yale and Harvard - and pass, didn't every listen to anything he ever said. They just watched him and believed what he said... The ones who should have voted, who did have the smarts to vote - stayed home and sat on their butts.
Sometimes you get the president you deserve.
Most serious voters wait to see what the candidates do and say before making up their minds. Independent voters don't automatically vote for a party favorite.
I think polls are mostly knee-jerk anyway. WIthout qualifying the one being polled, you can't get reliable figures.

Um...the undecided category in any of these races is enough to swing the results in the completely opposite direction. Or did you not read your own link.
Two more years to shore up those undecided, and not lose any of your base. And more "Real Americans" are waking up to the right wing propaganda machine every day.
Don't let these spin monkeys fool you. Bush republicanism is soon to be over.

This is one polling group and does not reflect "All of the Polls" as you state in your question.
Below find a link that discusses polling bias with regard to the American Research Group.

I looked at that poll (thanks for posting it) and it seems to be a poll of citizens of New Hampshire. If that poll had been run in Massachusets or New York, the results would have been different, I think. And you kid yourself if you think you are a "real American". I served. Did you? Did Bush (really)? Did Cheney?

American Research is a right wing organization.
Polls can be made to say whatever the pollster wants them to.
You're using numbers from someone who's politically aligned with you and accepting it as gospel.
Now,that's sad and pathetic.

Hmmm I wonder who paid for the survey. It's early no primary or caucus has been held yet. We'll see. It is all posturing and setting ground work now.

Sorry but I don't believe polls even if they are going my way and yours is going my way. Polls are never correct and it's way too early to tell if it's really going down that way. I can only hope that it works that way. We shall see, there's still one and a half years left and way too many things can happen.
