3. But...but..he's inexperienced

He screwed up in the debate. South Carolinians didn't watch it. They were busy shopping. Serious.

4. I'm not one of them...but I wonder if those who denigrate ARG...

As a sham polling service will come out of the woodwork now...

5. I haven't commented on the ARG polls being posted for that very reason

7. I don't denigrate polls, I like them. I think they give us a good view of what's going on.

I don't take them that seriously though. I think we are a long ways away, and anything can happen.

This might be good for Obama now, but it might be good for Edwards or Hillary next month.

6. Hey! Credit where it's due, saveelmer.

I must admit that ARG numbers can seem rather dodgy from time to time ...

...but i like these. :bounce:

10. As a fellow polling nut, here's some more nuggets from ARG

"Hillary Clinton leads John Edwards 29% to 22% among men and 31% to 20% among women in Iowa. Barack Obama leads Clinton 36% to 24% among men in New Hampshire while Clinton leads Obama 36% to 27% among women in New Hampshire. Clinton and Obama are tied at 30% each among men in South Carolina and Obama leads Clinton 35% to 28% among women in South Carolina."

This is from the ARG website.

A good note for Obama is that he is beating Clinton among women. Something I have yet to see him do in any poll.

12. Thanks for posting.

Like you, I have never seen a poll that has Obama ahead of Hillary with women. She easily holds that demographic in the other two states. What is it about South Carolinian women, I wonder.

8. Still way early...

The Undecideds are decreasing though...

[Dawgs]

9. Look at the numbers for the non-front runners - Geez!!

Biden is fourth with 3%.

11. ARG predicted winner of 45 out of 50 candidates in '04 presidential election

In the battleground states, it got 9 out of 14 states right, while Gallup got a similar 8 out of 12 right.
