If the election were today

[Sinergy 3]

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.

har har har, i didnt call it fake for that matter, i mean duh if you read it Obama has a lead on the republican. Polls are retarded, AND AGAIN.....polls are nothing, results are everything. Ppl depend too much on polls for self satisfaction

True, results mean more than polls. So why should we believe any poll then? Either they have some grain of truth or there is no point to them at all.

The "point" is really for political campaigners - gives an indication of the states/districts and issues on which they need to focus their campaigns.

Too many ppl with nothing to do who come up with polls hoping to start arguments

if guiliani is the Republican candidate there will be a protest campaign from someone on the right - mark my words.

I agree. He'll splinter the Republican vote.

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.

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.

If it ends up Hillary vs Rudy, I don't know who I'd vote for as I despise both. Luckly I can't vote!

Poll can be manipulated, look at those exit poll before the election, sometimes they have the candidate way down and they call out major upset instead of saying hmmm we screwed up.

Giuliani is what a Democrat should be. He can't make it as a Republican, but he would have a chance as a Democrat.

And that shows you where the Democratic party really is. Left of center.

What traditional party issues have the Democrats abandoned that would make them swing too far to the left?

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.

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.

I'm not pleased with some of the things the Dems have done so far, but the Republicans were far worse. The damage they have done to the United States will take decades to undo...if we manage to even try. The last thing we need is a hawk like McCain, an ill-tempered a$$ like Giuliani. Romney is a non-starter because the religious right still wants their concessions; the Bush administration has been pretty much all talk for them. They won't support Romney...or Giuliani for that matter.

A snapshot is a snapshot; polls today are pretty meaningless. More candidates could jump in, candidates could drop out...there could be a huge scandal...etc, etc.

Yeah, but you won't be able to vote in 2008.

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)?

Yeah, no joke. Our system of primaries sucks. And don't even get me started on the electoral college!

Hillary generally seems to do well in polls, tho I've yet to meet anyone who likes her. What is it about her that puts people off? I'm not well versed about her, having no interest in her career prior to my coming to the US and still very little now that I'm here and can't vote. Is it something particular about her, or her policies, or she's Bill's wife, or she's a woman, or what? I'm genuinely interested.

FWIW I wouldn't vote for her either. It seems ridiculous to me that in a country of, what? 300 million people that two families should get to dominate the White House for such an extended period of time. New blood is definitely needed. My candidate hails from the Land o' Lincoln.
