		<description>I am serious. I am not asking for hand holding but I wont tollerate spin. This is 100% garbage and Reuters, a name I used to respect should be embarrassed by it. How many readers agree that the media have been doing a horrible job these last 8 years? How many agree that this was a bad article meant only to mislead?</description>

		<description>The article is a brief as was the time poll-takers probably were given to think and respond, I suspect. As with many, this poll is worthless.</description>

		<description>Kenzo - are you serious?  do you really need the news to hold your hand and let you know where the candidates stand on the issues in every article that comes out?    Read a billion other articles out there about where the candidates stand, or better yet crawl out from that rock you must be living under. 

poll results are news, especially one that says that a state which is one of the most solidly democratic state in the country is favoring a Republican even when the GOP brand name is at an all-time low.  This is news because it demonstrates just how weak of a candidate Barack Obama really is.  The Democrats have been taken over by an extremist fringe left.  If only they nominated a moderate-left candidate they would have waltzed into the White House in November- but they are beholden to the MoveOn.org wing of the party because that's where the money is.</description>

		<description>Wow it sounds like Obama has finally come to his senses and is endorsing Hilary. And I quote: "The person you want answering the phone at 3 a.m. is the person who has read the intelligence reports, who is asking the tough questions about why we want to invade a country like Iraq that had nothing to do with 9/11. That's somebody who has good judgment. And there's only one out of the remaining candidates who qualifies on that front".</description>

		<description>HILLARY CLINTON'S AND JOHN McCAIN'S POOR JUDGMENT leave AMERICANS FOOTING THE BILL...


THE WAR IN IRAQ IS HAVING SERIOUS NEGATIVE EFFECTS ON OUR ECONOMY and those who voted for the war (i.e. hillary) 
should be to blame, in part, for the state of the US economy.

Look how the WAR IN IRAQ is affecting the US economy...

$3,000,000,000… 3 billion dollars PER WEEK! 

That is the amount America is paying for the Iraq War PER WEEK, money that should have been used here, at home.

Add to this: 

Interest. We are financing the war with borrowed money (e.g. treasuries) that carries interest; so in actuality, the war is costing the United States MORE THAN 3 billion dollars PER WEEK.

Higher oil and energy prices. Instability in Iraq is adding roughly 30 dollars per barrel as a premium. 

High oil prices mean high utility bills. Due to high oil prices, demand shifts to other sources of energy - gas, coal, etc. - and greater demand will raise the equilibrium price of all sources of energy -- Can you say high energy bills?

Higher oil prices (a raw material used in the production of many goods, fertilizers, gasoline, diesel, plastics, etc.) mean higher prices of goods and services -- Can you say INFLATION?

Higher oil prices mean a higher trade deficit because most of our oil comes from foreign sources. A higher trade deficit means more money is leaving the country than is coming into the country -- Can you say Goodbye to your hard-earned money!

Our dollar is weak and getting weaker. Since we have a trade deficit and is growing in large part to the rising cost of imported oil, the value of goods and services we import exceeds the value of goods we export. You know that foreign car you're thinking of buying or the computer you're using, or that trip abroad you've been thinking of taking....well, guess what? It is going to cost more, Ceteris Peribus, because the dollar is weak and getting weaker. 

Lastly, how do you think the world views our country since the argument was made for war? The evidence was weak and circumstantial, yet we rushed into war with Iraq thanks to hillary’s authorization.</description>

		<description>This goes to show the value of these polls. I think it's the "news organizations" who commission these kind of polls in order to create "news" and then peddle it to the
schmucky section of the American public. And then show their healthy ratings to potential advertisers. What a country!

This completely defies logic and totally contadicts what all other polls have been saying. 

It appears that Americans have been finally awakening from their 30-year catatonic state and understand that the country cannot afford another Republican administration, lest it permanently become a Third World entity, a kind of Super-Mexico, or something similar to the country described in "1984".

Still, in my estimation, about 40-45% of American population are irreparable morons (after all, it is they who helped unleash this Bush nighmare upon the rest of us TWICE!), while another 28-30% are cases of mental-imparement of various degrees of disability . 

So, the remaining 25-30% of the population that's nominally intelligent, rational, and capable of critical thinking is too low a percentage of normal human beings to maintain a viable western democracy. 

So, what you have here is a dead socio-economic paradigm on your hands.</description>

		<description>A sloppy article with no content indeed.  Margin of error equals (+/-) 4 points, so technically these numbers mean absolutely nothing.  Is there any good source of news?  Someone?</description>

		<description>This is nice information, but I'd be more interested if the news media would publish poll results showing nationwide delegate count projections for each pairing, since the presidential election is not a true democracy and New York has a very small portion of those delegates.</description>
