Obama is now polling 46% to Clinton's 40% in California. If this trend continues, Obama will capture the bulk of delegates in the nation's most populous state by super Tuesday.

We'll see. The polls have been QUITE wrong this entire election. I have yet to see any of the questions that these polls have asked, have you? I find it very hard to believe that he has gained THAT much ground in a state like California, but, we'll see tomorrow.

I wouldn't put a lot of stock in ANY poll unless you have seen the questions and what demographic the polls target.

While I'm not going to sublimely blame any particular demographics for Obama's increased popularity in California, I would agree that the polls have tended to be pretty inaccurate or misleading this year.

That was not a "subtle" intent to place blame on any group; I was not "injecting race". I was merely pointing out that we have NO idea who was polled, IE: Women, Men, Blacks, Whites, Latinos, Younger voters, older voters, wealthy Democrats, poor Democrats, Asians, Cats, Dogs.....you know what I was trying to say. Let's not inject race or anything else into what people say anymore...that is so last week!

What the heck are you talking about?? I agreed with your point about the polls being inaccurate. Where'd the race talk come from?
