1. Take a deep breath, KR. Obama will do fine.

[Justyce]

3. Maybe if you click your heels 3 times & wish, but stats say otherwise.

I would like to think that any of our top picks could win in the general election, but wanting it to be true doesn't make it true.

12. what stats do you speak of?

I can show you 3 other recent polls where Obama does better than Hillary against all Repukes.

Grasping for straws much?

5. Interesting facts. Thanks for posting the Quinnipiac findings.

ObamaNation, of course, will attack them. They only believe polls that show them ahead.

6. lol true. however, it seems those polls have dicipated :)

[Nailzberg]

7. Those polls are meaningless. The race for those states is shaped by IA and NH

[Buzz Clik]

8. Obama lost? Oh, my fucking God! I slept through the entire primary season!

Oh. This is just another hysterical thread by a Clinton apologist.

Nevermind.

9. The only polls that count are those that begin on Thursday.

After thursday, all bets are off... the 2008 dem primary begins anew.

10. After Iwoa and NH, everything can change. n/t

11. Obama is leading InTrade for Iowa & is the only one trending up according to the RCP Iowa poll graph
