1. McCain is backing Bush on the Port Deal. Im sue this poll will change.

[ProSense]

2. McCain is also for the war, for sending more troops to Iraq.

:crazy:

3. If the 2008 presidential election were held today,..

I would be very surprised! :crazy::crazy:

4. I suspect that they flipped the Kerry/ Rice numbers

look at the pattern - it makes no sense, while the flipped version does. Could flipping numbers happen - yes, it does happen in real life. If you doubt that they could have been that sloppy - look at the party designations - John Kerry(R) ???? against McCain and Guilliani.

The set of numbers do at this point show Edwards and Hillary slightly better than Kerry or Gore. This likely reflects the fact that Kerry and Gore have been slighted, ridiculed and attacked by the press, while Hillary has been touted as wonderful. Edwards has had little, but mostly positive press and I think may be perceived as a friendly (bland, vanilla) candidate.

On the Republican side - there are whole threads here about the press' view of McCain walking on water. Guilliani's negatives are known mostly by political junkies and New York area residents. Condi has never had the savage spot light on her that all the others did.

5. It's too early for this

At this point, every scenario looks possible, though every scenario is not plausible. Also, this predates the 'serious' campaign, where faults are revealed, people become stressed and make mistakes and so forth.

As far as beauty pageant polls go, well, these folks are 'in the game.' That's good.

6. BTW, McCain and Rice like the ports deal

as is and do not want the process derailed or re-examined at all. Perhaps these 'mavericks' might be vulnerable in places not thought of before, such as national security and corporate toadyism. Just saying, cuz it's so early for this stuff.

7. Marist College polls are strange and wrong most of the time.

I would not get upset over this polling. This one in particular seems to scream we inerviewed Rebuplicans only.

I have had dealings with Marist College on another unrelated basis, and I can tell you if their pollers are anything like their buyers and staff, we can assume they are incorrect and Dem's are in better shape than this-including JK.

8. I agree with you that they did a sloppy job

Even look at the party designations - they are wrong.

I also think it highly likely they flipped Kerry and Rice. If you look at all other pairs, there is only minor variation between the Democrats - which would be the case if were Kerry with 50.
