Latest Rass. poll...Obama leads Edwards by 10, trails Hillary by 17

[jenmito]

Just sayin', since Hillary and Edwards supporters always post Rassmussen polls when Edwards was within margin of error or Hillary increased her lead:

1. Edwards is still within the margin of error.

[jenmito]

2. No he's not. n/t

[William769]

3. Yes he is.

Obama is the error.

[jenmito]

5. 10 points ahead of Edwards. Spin it however you want...

or joke about it. It doesn't change anything. :hi:

15. For a couple of seconds, your comment pissed me off

However, it's quite funny, got to admit. I would never say something like that about Hillary or Edwards, though.

4. Hillary lost 5 in ten days

Maybe Clark's endorsement was about internals after all. In fact, she was down to 39% on Saturday. Hmmm.

6. Or daily tracking polls are more volatile than weekly averages which show virtually no change.

Unless you think Obama did something wrong in the last week of August causing his numbers to dip below 20% even being tied with Edwards.

[sandnsea]

7. 9/7 - 9/17 down 5

9/7 - 9/15 down 6

:shrug:

Overall, everybody is flat. Hillary's numbers are still interesting though. And yeah, there probably was something on Obamathe last week of August, there usually is when numbers take a big jump.

8. Or daily tracking polls are more volatile than weekly averages.

Shit Hillary could have gotten a temporary bump from being on Letterman that week.

:shrug:

[sandnsea]

9. Or Bill's book, big promo that week n/t

[jenmito]

11. Good point.

And Edwards has lost 5 points in 5 days. Was that after he unfairly accused Obama of having a similar troop withdrawal to Bush's? :shrug:

10. I've been posting the daily poll in graphic form

And plan to update it daily. However, I can't do that till I get home tonight.

Don't impute motives.

12. Once again proving Dem primary voters have no memories

The Clintons are not on our side!
They hired Dick Morris, for fuck's sake!
They turned off the base nad triangulated the party out of an identity and, as a result, lost Congress, the governorships, statehouses and made the 2000 election close enough to steal
Do we really want to lose all the progress the Democratic wing of the Democratic party has made by nominating the carville crew back into power?

16. With the media pushing hillary so hard, dem primary voters are showing their

lazy side. They seem to be going along with the corporate media. Either it's the primary voters, or the polls are pushing the same thing the media is pushing. It's so depressing, I can hardly read these threads.

:kick:

[Adenoid_Hynkel]

17. I'm severely disappointed and baffled

Where is the resistance to the Carville and Co. takeover of our party? We've come too far, especially with the '06 wins, to go back to big business butt kissing.
I swear I'm about to switch my registration to third party or independent. (and no it doesn't effect my primary power, as my state doesn't vote til May)

13. This is national, not Iowa....

Iowa voters are what matters, and Iowa voters make up their own minds on candidates. :P

18. If Edwards doesn't win Iowa, he should drop out of the race as he's been there ever since '04

Then when he drops out his supporters will go to Obama. :P

[BlueStater]

14. 10 points isn't a commanding lead

On September 13, he was a mere 3 points ahead of Edwards.
