If the election were today

[GaryC 7]

Looks like Obama is the only dem that has a chance and even at that is is close. It's going to be very interesting next year.

To me, those polls mean nothing. It's almost a year and a half until the 2008 election. A lot can, and will, happen between then and now.

Those polls will be much more meaningful at this time next year.

[Sinergy 3]

Plus as usual it favors the republican againt Hilary, surprise surprise. The poll i saw didnt come close to that. Then again the polls dont matter, i can fake a poll and throw it online and rave about it. What matters is next year when the REAL ppl go out and vote, not some internet generated poll. Its like Bush's votings, all internet generated and false

flame away ppl flame away

But it is an interesting snap-shot of the mood of the people today. To me it shows that despite the damage Bush did to himself and the reps the people still prefer Giuliani to any of the dem candidates. I also have a poll that shows the dems in congress have a 27% approval rate which is lower than Bush. I think the immigration fiasco and all the talk of "cut and run" in Iraq has hurt the dems a lot. If the dems "stay the course" on their agenda not only will we have a rep president but the reps will take back the house.

How do you figure? Its a poll that you found online!! It shows nothing other than someones opinion who doesnt like dems. Thats all it shows. Unless you make a poll and watch every single person vote it and can show it was FOR REAL, then polls prove #######

Did you bother to read it? It is a collection of LA Times/Bloomberg, FOX News, USA Today/Gallup, Zogby and Hotline/FD. Those are respected and well recognised polling companies. It's not just some internet poll that doesn't mean anything. You should look at things before you jump to conclusions.

What about the rest of them? Zogby, USA Today/Gallup and the LA Times? You say they favor reps? Go ahead though, the more your side is in denial the better for us.

If the Dem candidates are Hillary and Obama, I'm not surprised.

I'm more of a Dem voter, but I'd sooner vote Giuliani or McCain than Hillary.

Your denial shows with everyday the republicans screw the american ppl more and more and you continue to favor them.

Oh and Gary, you will argue with anyone who is not a bush butt kisser, so i really dont care about your opinion, bc unless someone is agreeing with YOU or your views on loving the republicans, we will never have a say. So ive said my part and now im going to go home and see my kids and hubby. Again my point was, who cares where the polls came from, they are polls, and polls mean nothing. results mean everything.

[peejay 327]

I wouldn't vote for any of the candidates in this straw poll. Giuliani, McCain, Clinton, and Obama all suck big time.

Some of the 2nd and 3rd tier Republicans have caught my eye, but will never be nominated because they are not in corporate America's hip pocket.

I wouldn't hire any of the Democrats to shine my shoes. They all veer too far to the left or are space cases. Kucinich? Richardson? No way, Jose´.

I might sit this one out if this is the best there is to offer.

By the time the primaries get to Texas, my vote is irrelevant anyway. ALL the primaries should be cast on the same day. What relevance do the crown jewels New Hampshire and Iowa have to Texas (or the rest of the 48 for that matter)?

[Trumplestiltskin 5,791]

The polls change quite a bit when campaigning starts in earnest - As I remember, the polls for the senate/congressional elections were pretty neck and neck. It was conservatively expected that the Dems would be able to take one chamber, not both - which is what happened.

Looks like Obama is the only dem that has a chance and even at that is is close. It's going to be very interesting next year.

Interesting, but it means nothing, since it is almost one and a half year away. remember, Howard Dean was the Democrat front runner for almost all the time, but he lost the momentum just before the primaries began. Newt Gingrish said few days ago that if the Republican nominee sounds like a Bush successor, than it is very unlikely that the Republican nominee will win the White House in 2008. My personal opinion is, the Democrat nominee will win the White House.

I agree that these polls can change over time until the election.

But it is always funny when ppl automatically call a poll fake when it does not support what they want it to.

[Trumplestiltskin 5,791]

Iraq will be a key issue, I think - especially as seems likely; we'll still be neck deep in it this time next year. That and the future direction of the "war on terror" - though honestly, we'd do as much good voting on the basis of much-needed domestic reforms than on our foreign policy. Whoever gets in - its unlikely they will have the carte blanche to start another unilateral invasion of yet another MENA country. It certainly won't be a point that anyone will campaign on.
