More Evidence of "Obama Surge"
Edited on Tue Dec-11-07 12:07 AM by ClarkUSA
Political Wire has learned that new Strategic Vision polls to be released later this week show Mike Huckabee increasing his lead in
Iowa, jumping into the lead in Georgia and moving into second place behind Rudy Giuliani in Wisconsin.

On the Democratic side, Sen. Barack Obama leads in Iowa. But while Sen. Hillary Clinton still leads in both Wisconsin and Georgia she
is losing considerable support in recent weeks.

1. By 'later this week' it'll be outdated ...
if you don't have access to internal polls, forget about it. Everything the media/general public gets by way of polling data (unless they know someone on the inside willing to risk their future) is worthless.

4. Well, since we don't have access to internal polls, this will have to do

Besides, the trend lines count more than the actual numbers at this time, right?

the only numbers that count are the most accurate ones you can get right up until the caucuses and those are the --- day by day --- internal numbers from the campaign organization with the best statisticians.

BTW - As of now, Hillary has the best statisticians.

Also, doesn't mean any of them will tell you or the media the truth about the numbers.

6. Well, I have no problem with public polling because many of them have correctly predicted outcome
However, if you have any internal polls to share, go ahead.

Why do you say Hillaryworld has the best statisticians? Do you mean Mark Penn? Because from what I hear, Obama has the top Democratic micro-trend
polling firm on his side.

7. Mark Penn is NOT a statistician
he is a wanna be something ... not quite sure what yet. But, refer to my posts i.e., NE a-holes.

No, it is Bill's group who are doing the behind the scenes numbers for her.
