The latest WP/ABC poll discussed here has Hillary up 23% over Obama, on a poll conducted late October/early November.

This CBS poll pulled from the archives is intended to show you how things could still change in a matter of weeks:

1. The media is working on --just like they did with Dean

It is a shame we keep letting them decide who will be president.

3. As long as we choose Obama, we'll be fine.

[Evergreen Emerald]

7. If you think that the republicans will not go after Obama with the media as their cohorts

you are mistaken. Dean did nothing wrong--and was vilified. The citizens accepted the media distortions as if truth, not realizing that they are part of the neo-con agenda.

Barrack Hussein Osama (oops) Obama will not have an easy time it. You are fooling yourself if you believe otherwise.

Conversely: Clinton's skeletons have been vetted and aired ad-nausem--old news.

13. Dean's campaign did many things wrong

not the least - covering up his 'I hate caucuses' tirade tape that was found and released to the media prior to the Iowa caucuses.

2. Kerry less than Sharpton and Gephardt and Lieberman

Edwards even lower. I wonder why President Dean and VP Clark are not running for re-election?

4. K&R

KICK!

5. What is the % of undecideds?

75% compared to what, 25% today?

6. The new poll does not say the number of undecided

I looked and couldn't find it. if someone finds it please post it.

11. It's 28% undecided (Don't know)...n/t

[CyberPieHole]

8. Your poll numbers only add up to 58%. Why?

By going to your link, I read that 28% of those asked "don't know" whom they would vote for. Why did you not include that? You have Edwards' name on our post but no corresponding poll number for him...:shrug:

[MonkeyFunk]

9. 23 minus 4

is 19, not 21.

And in that poll Dean is only up 13% over his nearest rival.

[CyberPieHole]

12. Do you think the OP really took time to study the poll?

Or just saw a few numbers that looked good and overlooked the rest? The number of people who answered "Don't know" was 28%, but the OP failed to read that in his/her own link. How convenient.

10. the wonderful Howard Dean was a complete unknown then...too bad he is not running now :-( nt
