After NH, I don't trust
January 13, 2008 - 11:14 ET by motherbeltAfter NH, I don't trust polls at all.
As an example: the other night I got an automated call survey from ABC news. They are apparently assessing Michael Bloomberg's chances. Asked, in variety of matchups, with Bloomberg as the third option, who I would vote for.
I lied.
I'm sick and tired of the media making polls the story. Then they act upset when people lie; as if it's their God-given right to know what would happen if the election were tomorrow. Polls are good for two things: giving the talking heads something to yammer about; and allowing politicians to constantly fine-tune their message according to public reaction.
Neither of which is a good thing, IMO.
No lesson was learned?
January 13, 2008 - 11:34 ET by PamI agree with motherbelt..after NH, maybe the media should get out of the polling business

January 13, 2008 - 13:34 ET by motherbeltHey..if the polls are as accurate as the MSM say they are, maybe all the Republicans should just quit, and we could just have a head-to-head contest of Clinton against Obama. What do you think?

New Hampshire Residents do not know the Real John McCain
January 14, 2008 - 08:52 ET by PopularTechThese head to head polls are meaningless until after the primaries since the GOP is split so much. McCain pulls many clueless independent voters who are ignorant about the facts on John McCain.

Polls are for lonely people seeking other people who need numbers to decide between values.
The Source....
January 13, 2008 - 11:26 ET by SaltherringClinton News Network polls are as reliable as Pravda headlines.
CNN
January 13, 2008 - 11:42 ET by Gat New YorkThat is exactly the point. CNN is a flack network for the Clintons. When it comes to polls and research it all depends on your sampling methodology as well as you the pattern and substance of the questioning.
Regardless, this or any general election poll is incredibly irrelevant at this stage and will remain that way until there is a general election campaign. First you have to have direct debates. Then I can only imagine how many 527 groups are out there waiting to unleash the truth about Hillary and Bill - then what will these polls look like (other than the Clinton News Network).
CNN Polls
January 14, 2008 - 00:25 ET by JudithHill and Barry ahead....but by damn little and its early.
These polls are next to useless
January 13, 2008 - 11:33 ET by c5thenBecause any one answering such a poll is thinking of their candidate. There are far too many yet in the running (or out of the running) to start asking about two person matchups.
Besides, it's well documented that democrats are much more likely to answer polls then republicans are, thus causing over sampling of democrats.
The day that "politician" became a career choice is the day we started losing the Republic. Let's get it back! Alan Keyes '08.
I'm sure it's a bias poll as always, but
January 13, 2008 - 11:35 ET by Dee BunkI think we are in trouble. The media are definitely driving this it's working.
This is only a reflection
January 13, 2008 - 11:47 ET by Ryan Mc.This is only a reflection of name recognition. Its why companies advertise. Why do people buy brand name products that come off the same assembly line as the generic? Name recognition. Why do candidates without money lose? Name recognition. Why do polls always close as election day approaches? Because people begin to pay attention and the lesser known candidate may finally get some attention.
In addition to all of that keep in mind this is CNN. The Clinton News Network. They are not above using 75% Democrats in their sample. How does Hillary get in the mid to upper 50%'s when she has about 45-50% of the country who say they will never vote for her? That makes this poll very suspect. She should never get above 50%.
no doubt Carville

Thoughts?????
January 13, 2008 - 11:59 ET by BourbeauAbsolutely. Why would anyone give any credence to any poll published by CNN? At some point we need to discourage these morons from wasting their time and resources doing this nonsense. CNN has no credibility and until the MSM and other outlets make it clear that their polling is not taken seriously, they're going to continue. Why not go for the gold, and have a CNN/Reuters/BBC poll?

January 13, 2008 - 12:04 ET by bbbossNot just NH; I have always taken polls with a grain of salt, as it were. The are often wrong, but they can be fun to watch and it does give the talking heads on all those TV channels something to talk about so as to keep their jobs.
A GLARING OMISSION
January 13, 2008 - 12:05 ET by bulbasaurYou know how teleprompt readers always fall all over themselves to sound intelligent by saying "the margin of error is plus or minus..."
Assuming this poll was conducted with the usual 1,000 adults, the margin of error is at least 3 points.
The correct headline: "McCain in Dead Heat with All Likely Democrat Party Candidates"
Or "McCain Easily Rivals Top Democrat Contenders"
Or how about "Clinton, Obama, Unable to Beat McCain in General Election"
Very good points. But the
January 13, 2008 - 12:17 ET by rimskyVery good points. But the rub here is that too many voters are quite satisfied with sound bite, drive by media snake oil like this and they will take that all the way to the ACTUAL polls and vote accordingly.

I guess we should let the left tilting states and the media dictate who our candidate will be. Where is the conservative in this list? The only one coming close enough for me is Romney. I notice NO Thompson?
I guess we conservatives should just stay home or only go to the voting booth to vote for out local issues.

Mass Out in Front with GW nonsense
January 13, 2008 - 12:59 ET by ThisnThatMassachusetts is tapping in to the GW hysteria -- once again by expanding Government mandates and dipping into your wallet.
According to the Boston Globe, the state Senate passed a law requiring home sellers to conduct and pay for an energy audit before the home sale. It would establish a state committee that would design an energy-efficiency rating to be used on homes. This could take various forms, such as a single performance number for each house or a comparison of the house's oil, natural gas, and electricity use or other efficiency measures to a minimum standard.
The key here is that this is going to be mandated on the homeowners, not provided as an option to home buyers. In addition, this so-called committee is just another taxpayer burden.
Why can't the Government stop meddling in the private affairs of citizens? Massachusetts has no business doing this; but, if you have a Democratic Government (Govenor and Legislature), this is what you can expect. The Nanny state at its best.

Zogby's Special Sauce
January 13, 2008 - 14:42 ET by Del DolemonteZogby says:
"We will pore through the data and try to come up with something more definitive, but those are my early observations. There is much speculation that Senator Clinton’s crying incident may have offered voters – especially women – a peek at the human side of someone who is often seen as scripted. I think she also scored points during the ABC debate Saturday night when she declared, amid a discussion about the country’s desire for a change in direction, that electing a woman would represent a big change in itself. Her numbers did go up in that last 24–hour period."
Zogby also thought the

Numbers May Be Wrong, But Trend Is Obvious
January 13, 2008 - 14:00 ET by zeestephenI've voted GOP since 1972, and will again in 2008, but our current crop of candidates makes me wince with pain. I'm backing Romney, but I don't think the guy can get within ten points of Obama or Clinton. Also, the economy is almost always the trump card in American elections. We are going to have very slow growth, possibly no growth, for the next 3-6 months. American voters will have the word "Recession" screamed at them 24/7, and even if there is no recession, that's going to do serious damage to the GOP.

How often are polls wrong?
January 13, 2008 - 14:28 ET by shawn228The general election is 10 months away, it will be almost impossible to get a feel of what will happen so far in the future.
Thing thing is, the polls got NH wrong. Perhaps the tear thing worked. Polls are almost always accurate when the election is within few days.
The polling clearly shows how the nation feels at the present time and I do not believe they are biased. If the majority of the people in this country prefferred a GOP candidate, that is what the polls will show.

January 13, 2008 - 21:23 ET by Parker1227I rather enjoyed a recent poll that had almost 60% of Americans not giving a rats $$s about the writers strike shutting down TV shows and movie production.
Its not that I don't like writers in general, but the Leftist buffoons who monopolize Hollywood these days have earned the pain and disregard they are now getting.
They continue to obsess on attacking evil Christians and Republicans while ignoring out of cowardice and ideology the global Islamist mafia which is shutting down free speech around the world by murder and or issuing death threats against any who would stand against their totalitarian fascism.
Come on Hollywood writers! Grow some gonads!
CNN Poll?
January 13, 2008 - 14:45 ET by Del DolemonteDon't forget, about a year ago CNN got rid of their longtime polling partner, the hugely respcted Gallup Organization, which has been doing polls since Dick Cheney was a baby Halliburton stockholder in the 1930s.
Who did they get to replace Gallup? Why Vinod Gupta, of course, who has been a close friend of Bill and Hill for at least 15 years.

CNN 'Poll'
January 14, 2008 - 10:23 ET by Six String SpiffCNN doesn't do polls anymore. They engage in liberal propaganda to forward their agenda. Just WAIT until they 'have a poll result' that states the Republican nominee FAR FAR behind the Dem, and listen to them piss and moan when the Republican wins. Of course, if the Dem wins, well it was fair and square... Poll shmoll. CNN is on the payroll of the Dems. End of story
Did they take into consideration...
January 14, 2008 - 13:36 ET by ReaganJrDid they take into consideration the fact that the front runner will collect votes from people that may have opposed them in the primaries.
Say for example Romney gets the nomimation. There will still be some that won't vote for him for various reasons but many more will vote for him than might currently admit it because they may be currently supporting McCain or Huckabee.
I think if Romney gets the nomination that he will easily beat any Democrat. The same with Thompson. But I could never support McCain, Guiliani or Huckabee. They are all far too liberal for me. I might even consider voting for Ron Paul if he goes independant over McCain, Guiliani or Huckabee.
I don't want any more liberal's in the White House, I don't care if they are Republican or Democrat.
