1. Kucinich at 2 percent

Why is Kucinich only getting 2 percent?

2. Wes is sitting on Dean's bumper like the number 3 car used to.

6. LOL - Nice analogy

Pretty clever. :)

[Alex146]

4. Maybe because he isn't the best choice.

CMB at 7%. Good for her!

"Hello, Boston? We have a problem."

7. I'm sorry to say it

But electability starts playing a major role the further we move along.

8. Hey! Give the guy a break.

He's doubled his support from some polls.

Now he just needs to do that three or four more times and he's in the running. :eyes:

[alexwcovington]

12. Better than one percent!

Kucinich's poll numbers have DOUBLED! :)

[RUMMYisFROSTED]

3. National polls meaningless.

1. 25% are still undecided or don't know.
2. What happens to the numbers when half of the candidates drop out?
3. When 7 drop out?
4. How closely are people paying attention? How firm is their support?
5. How much is name recognition?
6. What percentage can even name the candidates positions?
7. What percentage can even put a name to a face?

I'll start paying attention to national polls next summer.

9. Glad to see that the

Smears of the current 3 weeks coupled with the ignore from CNN brought Clark's numbers down...but then he came back up again. Wonder why that's not a news story..mmm....mmmm..... Shush...Don't say his name, the voting public might hear and want to vote for Clark.

DON'T talk so loud.....we might even hear that Clark is leading in S. Carolina.....Won't be reported though...they stop at Iowa and NH...wonder why?

[SahaleArm]

10. Clark could have a 20 point lead...

and he'd still be on ignore with CNN and Faux.

[paulk]

11. MOE @ 6?

This poll is worthless for all concerned. Mosely Braun at 7%?

No way.

Al Sharpton and Howard Dean tied for the lead, within the MOE....

[whirlygigspin]

15. I still think Clark is a republican plant
