Give Me A Break!
Here we are 9 months before the election and people are already talking about polls showing who going to win. In case you have missed it, the polls taken the day before primaries haven’t been able to predict who was going to win them. People do not start paying any attention to the Presidential election until after labor Day at the earliest. Making decisions based on what polls are reporting today, isn’t just a waste of time, it is a form of insanity.
Give it a rest, or have you forgotten what happen when people decided to select the “most electable” candidate in the 2004 primaries?
It is going to be a Democrat against John McCain and media, so forget the polls, they don’t include the media.

Humans are social, and many will go along with what they think the group wants. If someone can convince them that everyone else wants so-n-so to win, they are more likely to vote for that person.
The press has a lot of power. It’s unfortunate for our country that they are owned by rightwing, free-market, social darwinists. It is they who made Bush president. It is they who made sure that Gore and Lieberman were put on the defensive in Florida 7 years ago…it is they who made that staged riot by white men in white shirts and ties…appear spontaneous.
etc, etc. If not for the press, Gore would have been given his rightful place in the Whitehouse, and America would not be in the shit she is now.
The corporations have too much power and it is based on nothing. That is something that needs to be addressed, along with some many things, the concept of corporate “personhood”. That is based on a comment, not a legally binding opinion, but a comment on a tax case.
People depend on the media for information, and the media distorts to serve their own purpose.
