Daily polls published in the MSM have McCain running strong.
However, if you were to take a brief poll of the folks here on FR - a mostly conservative, Republican site - I'd put his support around 2-5%. Huckabee's support would be a little stronger, but not much.
My take? The polls have it wrong. They're asking the wrong people, or for the wrong info, or something.
Of course, that's why they have elections. We'll find out in a month or so.
Polls rarely ask the right people the right questions.
Polls are very misleading. Questions can be manipulating simply by the choice of response given by the pollster.
I have had several telephone polls over various issues and candidates. Never have I felt that the questions, nor the answer choices, really reflected my overall opinion.
Yet the pollsters take their responses and proclaim the unabridged gospel truth.
Gnats!
The MSM is scared of Fred. They do not want a true conservative. They so far have not found dirt on Fred. But I guarantee when he does surprise the pundits with a superior showing, the attacks will follow.
