Gallup Poll - McCain 41, Romney 25, Huck 21; Hillary 52, Obama 39

Gallup ^

[bshomoic]

PRINCETON, NJ -- The increase in support for Hillary Clinton at the national level that Gallup saw in interviewing conducted Sunday and Monday continued in interviewing Tuesday night. Gallup Poll Daily tracking conducted Feb. 3-5 now includes three consecutive days in which Clinton has done well, giving her a 13-percentage point lead over Barack Obama, 52% to 39%

. . .

In contrast, the nomination preferences of national Republican voters have hardly moved in recent days. As of the Feb. 3-5 Gallup Poll Daily tracking, John McCain leads the Republican field with 41% of the vote, compared with 25% for Mitt Romney and 21% for Mike Huckabee. This is virtually identical to the Gallup Poll Daily tracking figures for the Republican race reported yesterday. In fact, there has been little change in national Republican preferences since Rudy Giuliani exited the race in late January.

I've never trusted Gallup - I don't know why.

I'm of the opinion that the MSM has a thing for McCain and would like to push him onto conservatives.

So as it seems we have a choice between a Democrat and a Marxist.

Well... I ain't standing for it. I'm not going to vote for the lesser of two evils.

I'm of the opinion that we will lose in 2008 - it is not that we won't try but it is just the way things are and in 2012 things will bounce back hard.

For what it is worth, I'm seriously considering simply writing in John R. Bolton.

We still have a long way to go - so who knows.

It’s not that I would trust her more than Obama - - they are both untrustworthy socialist cretins - - it’s that I would have greater trust that REPUBLICANS would battle her more effectively.

Obama is too much of a wild card - - nobody knows anything about him except that he is good at spouting meaningless platitudes about “change” and “bringing people together” and so forth, and the mindless chattering class eats it up.

Sunday Monday and Tuesday? Aren’t these numbers irrelevant after Super Tuesday?

[Names Ash Housewares]

Agreed.
Nothing will fire up folks like rallying to stop Hildabeast.

Bush, Clinton, Bush, Clinton?

My God.

They did the same thing after the Nevada caucus. Osama won the delegate count, the headlines were "The Toonness Wins Nevada." (vote count).

Caususes and primaries are kinda like the electoral college. You can get 90% of Alaskas votes and get the same number of electoral college votes as the guy who won 50.1% of Wyoming.

Someone is giving Osama some good strategic primaries political advice.

"They know the media, their propaganda; yet, they listen to it. Some are so unteachable."

Had an e-mail from a couple of younger relatives in Denmark. They wanted to know who was going to be the next president, the woman or the black man.

The european press is pushing U.S. socialists just like here.

I believe that gets applied to each name so it can be said Huckabee is tied with Romney. That is amazing considering the cash Romney has spent.

Yeah, same place that other scumbag, Rahm Emmanual, got his start as a bag boy for the mob.

“I suspect that it would be easier to defeat Hillary than it would be to defeat that oily scumbag Obama.”

My fear is that, if nominated, she’ll pick Obama as her running mate. That, IMHO, might be a formidable ticket to run against.

That was my thought. What good is a “national poll” when over half of the states (and well over half of the country) has already voted?

[kittymyrib]

So much for the myth that McKennedy could challenge Hillary. The GOP has come up with a slate of losers. Conservatives have absolutely NOTHING to gain by following these lemmings over the cliff.

[reefdiver]

I agree, I don’t know anyone who want’s McCain. It’s looking like voters of both parties will be voting for someone they don’t want. I hear Dem’s who can’t stand Hilda, and who pass cartoons about Her.

[GOPyouth]

You can look at it this way: 59% do not want McCain. Granted, the same numbers game can be played with Romney, but McCain is the frontrunner.

I wish Huckabee would get out of this race and make this a race between the conservative and liberal wing of the party.

Interesting but not surprising - your relatives are aware of only the 2 dem candidates.

My fear is that, if nominated, she’ll pick Obama as her running mate. That, IMHO, might be a formidable ticket to run against.

Dennis Miller was talking about this on his radio show yesterday. He thinks that Obama would likely turn down that offer, preferring to wait four or eight years to go for the big prize again rather than be Hillary's sidekick.

Ironically, if Obama won the nomination he would never pick Hillary for VP.
