Why don't we just wait until it's over? These polls have fooled us before, no matter who they point to.

Perhaps you could supply us with a link. The daily tracking polls, Rasmussen, Gallup, and USA Today all show Obama leading.

I absolutely will not vote for Obama if Hillary loses. Period. Who I will vote for remains to be seen between Nader and McCain.

National Poll of Polls (Source: CNN)

Likely Democratic primary voters' choice for nominee
Clinton -- 44 percent
Obama -- 43 percent
Unsure -- 13 percent

Elections are not national, so any national poll is pretty much useless.

It'll start on March 5th, maybe the 6th. It'll take the die hards a while to get over it, but most will by the convention.

The source is CNN. Take it up with them.

I agree that polls aren't necessarily accurate. I just find it funny that the Obama people crow about polls showing Obama ahead here and post them every chance they get but when someone posts a poll showing Hillary ahead, they disparage it.

Nope. Sounds like a problem for Obama, to me. There is a a growing majority of people who will not support him if he is the nominee.

By the way, It's not "sour grapes" driving my position. I believe that Obama is WRONG for America and that opinion will not change if he wins the nomination.

I'm still waiting for the link.

It's not the polls, it's all the votes and victories that Obama is racking up.
