Oh, wait. Sorry. Looks like that was Dukakis' lead over Bush. And we all know how that turned out.

DU really needs to chill the f$&@ out about general election polling this far from November...

1. Yes we should sort out one stolen election at a time!

It's gonna be a rough ride!

[Arneoker]

3. Please!

Is that all some you can do is trot out bogus accusations of fraud?

I never liked Poppy that much, voted against him both times, but saying he stole the 1988 election is like saying Eisenhower stole the elections against Stevenson.

5. Jeff Weaver admints the election has been a legitimate procees

2. Yeah, cling to that one extreme example, almost 30 years ago.

[Arneoker]

4. Look at 1976 and 1992

Concerning 1992, whatever happened to President Perot?

[BumRushDaShow]

10. Or President Romney in 2012

Don't have to go back 30 years or 20 years! Just 4 years.

[leftynyc]

11. How about a mere 4 years ago?

Some polls had Romney winning right up to election day.

6. He he...well done. Polls are meaningless at this point, esp since Hillary is fighting both the

primaries and the GE at the same time

[GreatGazoo]

7. So Hillary is Bush in your analogy (!)

please proceed...

[Proud Public Servant]

8. Funny how people have taken me as a Hillary supporter

I'm voting Bernie. But as a longtime follower of politics, this spazzing out about polls six months from the election really bugs me, regardless of my candidate preferences.

Though, FWIW, I think an Obama:Hillary::Reagan:Bush is an analogy that works on a number of levels.

[GreatGazoo]

9. wasn't guessing who you support, just confirming that Hillary was Bush

When I look at the Obama policies that Hillary will roll back I agree.

[Demsrule86]

13. You are full of it.

Hillary would not roll back Obama policies...Trump would.

[Demsrule86]

12. Really?

Gallop in all over the place.
