I have to say that any poll that consistently puts John Mccain in the mid to high teens is suspect in the extreme.
One would suspect that the respondents were screened to include only working age men at home between the hours of 10AM to 2PM on weekdays.

Maybe they poll nursing homes.

I’d say nervous hospitals. Nearly 20% for Crazy McNut ? Nope. He isn’t even on the political radar screen. Rudy is narrowly ahead or tied with Fred. I call shenanigans on this poll.

Huckster is in 2nd place... for worst ex-Governor amongst the RINO-er-GOP Presidential field. Precious Willard is still #1. ;-)

I don’t think so. He and Rootie have the highest name recognition of the Republican candidates. There are plenty of people who are Republicans and either don’t follow the election this far out. They support the name they know.

Dr. Demento's at 3%. He sure is winning the hearts and minds of Middle America.

Triple E: Read a poll, especially a Rasmussen or Mason/Dixon sometime...

These polls aren’t objective as they are polling the same small percentage of registered, land-line Republicans who voted in 2004.
To: fieldmarshaldj
Dr. Demento's at 3%. He sure is winning the hearts and minds of Middle America. He won a lot of hearts and minds at his rally in Nashville, over 1,500 people attended. At the same time Fred! was giving a speech to a handful of supporters.
He's going to raise more money than Fred! this 4Q, if this money bomb pans out.
To: Extremely Extreme Extremist
You're just pissed because the Doc's at... 3 !
Can't ya just FEEL the tidal wave of support ?

You could get 1,500 people to turn out in Nashville if they offered them each 100-lb bags of manure from Ace Hardware.

Always nice to have Soros backin' ya to the hilt. Maybe Kookcinich can mind meld with the UFO and they can bring Dr. Demento some gold-pressed latinum bars with chocolate inside.

There’s no Soros or left-wing organizations supporting Paul. Just good, honest people from the heartland.
To: Extremely Extreme Extremist
These polls arent objective as they are polling the same small percentage of registered, land-line Republicans who voted in 2004. I think markets like Intrade are more indicative of strength in the campaign than any one poll. At Intrade, McCain trades at 7.0% which is behind Giuliani, Romney, Thompson and even Ron Paul. This is much more realistic than being second place in this one poll.

I went to abcnews.com and read the whole article. The whole article says how voters are SO discontented and how wonderful the Democrat candidates are and how weak the Republican candidates are. Now that I read entire the article I think the poll is a bunch of hooey too.
