Yeah, good honest nutty isolationists who think this is 1907 and not 2007... and George Soros.

mckennedy is showing well because he has his base back. He is the ratmedia’s candidate and since he has no chance of getting our nomination they are pushing him in order to disrupt our primaries. Note to mckennedy: your base can’t vote in our primaries they are registerd in the rat party.

I really can’t give this poll credence, my friend.

These are perhaps the worst pollsters on earth, and have been for decades. Plus, I heard on talk radio this morning that the poll was taken almost exclusively in the Northeast and CA. If that’s true, the poll is crap.

Plus, it’s “ 1,131 adults.” ‘Nuff said.

There’s no denying McCain is steadily rising, but this specific poll is crap.

I agree to an extent. The head-to-heads against Hillary are bogus as such (leading by 10-18 points!! c’mon), but I assumed the primary had a different GOP sample. I might be wrong.

McCain would beat Hillary. I’d put that at about 90% certainty.

He has a better chance right now of beating Hillary than winning the GOP nod. But if he gets the nod, it’s “President John McCain.”

People like McCain - always have. They don’t like Hillary.

McCain would keep New Mexico red, as well as Ohio. He’d probably bring WI into the fold, as he is VERY popular there.

Those are fascinating numbers (what is “leaned vote”?) but the biggest surprise is two fold and both folds enclosing McCain. It seemed to me that even back there in July-September McCain was virtually invisible and doing so poorly NO ONE was even talking about him as a possibility.
It has seemed that McCain has somehow emerged intact and is making a very good showing for himself. He really is back in the game. According to those numbers you posted though, he was never less than second or third/ Very surprising to me , at least.

What is nearly as important as national numbers are the numbers for states with early primaries.

“A new Washington Post-ABC News poll finds ..... the weakest national support for a Republican front-runner this late in a presidential race since 1979.”

Seems to me that election ended pretty well.
