I finally feel as though it's okay to post some poll numbers in relation to the upcoming primary. Should I have waited until after Thanksgiving, though?
Anyway, based on these numbers, the Dem primary looks a lot closer than I've been led to believe by the mainstream media. I thought the Hildabeast was all but anointed.
If the 2008 Democratic presidential caucus were held today between, Joeseph Biden, Hillary Clinton, Chris Dodd, John Edwards, Dennis Kucinich, Barack Obama, and Bill Richardson, for whom would you vote? (Democrats only; names rotated)
Hillary Clinton 29%
Barack Obama 27%
John Edwards 20%
Bill Richardson 7%
Joseph Biden 5%
Chris Dodd 1%
Dennis Kucinich 1%
Undecided 10%
The Republican primary looks a little more settled, with Romney having a decisive lead:
If the 2008 Republican presidential caucus were held today between Sam Brownback, Rudy Giuliani, Mike Huckabee, Duncan Hunter, John McCain, Ron Paul, Mitt Romney, Tom Tancredo, and Fred Thompson, for whom would you vote? (Republicans only; names rotated)
Mitt Romney 30%
Mike Huckabee 19%
Rudy Giuliani 12%
Fred Thompson 11%
John McCain 7%
Ron Paul 5%
Tom Tancredo 2%
Duncan Hunter 1%
Undecided 13%
And for those who think the Iraq war won't matter, here's a freaky result: 53% of the responding Republicans wanted all troops out of Iraq in the next six months. That's something painful to chew on.
Do you favor a withdrawal of all United States military from Iraq within the next six months? (Republicans only)
Yes 53%
No 36%
Undecided 11%
Anyway, them's some polls. Smoke 'em if you got 'em.
