I thought these early polls meant nothing to the anti-Rudy people. Now that there’s an expected tightening (which BTW is normal during the course of a multi-candidate race) the glee is apparent with the anti-Rudies. Way I see it is that for meaningless polls, having your candidate consistently leading by double digits is welcomed news.
Of course the polls mean something, but polls don’t mean everything. Rudybots are using polls to suggest Rudy is already the candidate and/or is the only candidate who has any chance to win. Polls tell us Rudy is in the lead.
