Latest Poll: Clinton 0,Obama 0,Edwards 0, All others,0....

[Armstead]

No one has voted yet.

It'd sure be great if instead of obsessing over the fluctuating -- and often contradictory -- poll results, we'd all think more about what the candidates are saying and doing in a more basic sense.

1. First good post in a while...

as a lurker, thank you for this breath of fresh air.

7. MSNBC First Read has a comment up about the polls called "Polling Fans Beware"

From Chuck Todd, Mark Murray and Domenico Montanaro

*** Polling aficionados beware: With a mere 15 days until the first contest, there are now so many pollsters surveying voters in Iowa and New Hampshire, it's hard to know what's right or wrong.

In the last 12 hours, two Iowa polls showed two dramatically different results. One (Washington Post/ABC) had Obama in first and another (Insider Advantage) had him in third.

Edwards was in third in one (Washington Post/ABC) and first in the other (Insider Advantage).

What gives?

Many things: turnout, the makeup of the electorate the pollster used, and the history of that pollster surveying the state. Our advice: Look at the trends of the pollsters who have surveyed the state for multiple cycles, and be careful of pollsters who haven't polled Iowa before. Speaking of polls, don't miss the latest CNN-WMUR poll showing Clinton back to having a double-digit lead after showing her up just one a week or so ago. What does that poll tell us? There's a chance that good pollsters get quirky results.
Looking at that poll’s trend line, it appears the one-point poll was the outlier.

8. Polls are used like weapons around here

which is pretty lame since they fluctuate so much.

10. WOO HOO! Kucinich tied for the lead! Yeah!

12. Its usually the sheeple that believe in their polls, the polls...

reflect what the media pushes on the sheeple. If you pay attention to their coverage whether how much on who or the style of coverage whether negative or positive, the polls follow on point to what the media is feeding us. Some people live by their tv and believe whatever it tells them, so they dont need to discuss actual issues, only repeat the media. Have you noticed how many people on here sound like they are repeating the news medias talking points and messages? Sometimes I check in and it disgusts me because it reminds me of the MSM that I try to stay away from. The government isn't at fault for the shape of our country, its the sheeple that enable them to do what they do with no resistance at all. No thinking or anything!

15. This is the best poll of the season so far.

Can we pin it at the top until the primaries are over?
