The poll also found that Clinton is well ahead of her Democratic rivals for the party's nomination.

Was Al Gore included in this poll? Notice how Fred, a popular yet undeclared Republican is included in every Republican poll. Al Gore would surely take from Hillary if he was included in the polls like Fred is. It makes me wonder what the MSM and their minions are up to.

Which candidate would get traction? Which candidate would separate from the pack if Fred was not included (even Gingrich is included in some polls taking up to 7% away from serious candidates).

I also wonder if Fred would remain as popular if one of the other candidates was getting 35% in every Republican poll or maybe a second tier guy jumping from 2% to 8% because Fred isn't in the poll. I also wonder if Fred would back off running if he started seeing his name dropped from Republican polls or would it motivate him to get in and fight.

It is a poll of voters, not "likely voters," which is usually good for a percent or two off the liberal candidate. However, I don't like these trends. Unlike many here, I'm NOT anti-Rudy. So far, neither Fred nor Mitt has shown they can defeat Hillary---I know, Fred isn't "announced." Still, expecting an announcement to make up some 20% points is a tough sell.

Regardless of who the nominee is, this is going to be very difficult.
