Also, within the article, they refer to Walker as "Gov. Scott":

"In the matchup between Rubio and Clinton, 43 percent of voters supported Rubio and 45 percent supported Clinton. Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) trailed behind Clinton by four points, while former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee and Wisconsin Gov. Scott each trailed Clinton by five points."

Also, I would like to more details about the poll, that is if it factors in the electoral college count

but Lougle found it.

Do you really think
American voters are stupid?

When Hillary is up in the polls
voters are smart, when she's down
the voters are stupid?

Is this the *cognitive dissonance*
I've been reading about

get their brains far enough past their Clinton hate to make a reasoned argument. You see, you automatically make it about here being up or down. The stupidity of the electorate is the fact that Rubio can pull over forty percent in a poll against Clinton. Nothing to do with Clinton. Guess you think those Rubio supporters are a sign of a really bright electorate. Try to change your reference point.

You may not esteem
their "values", but Rubio
represents his constituents.

Over 70% of Americans supported
the invasion of Iraq...

Why do you insist on citing polls when you suggesting polling is quackery and manipulative?

Here's an example of you suggesting they are manipulative:

Indeed, why would
someone use polls
to criticize polls?

Hmmmm?

I am suggesting in all instances one cite all the polls.


I have been pretty consistent.

Cite as many as you like.
They all serve the same purpose.

Only difference is who's paying
for the poll and what is their agenda.

a control of one poll verses another, whether one poll is an outlier, or follows a consensus

Not looking good!

If Obama gets fast track
approval, president Rubio
will have unfettered trade approval


Winning!

Polls are used propaganda.

We like them when they
say nice things, and get bent
when they don't.

Calling Americans stupid
because a poll gives you
a sad is weak sauce.

Advice: Polls are used to
manipulate public perception!
Don't live or die by the polls.
The only "polls" that matter
are elections

I am merely citing all the available polls or a reasonable approximation of what are all the available polls and their findings:

What inferences or assumptions?

NT

People express their values
through polls and elections.

As to polls being tools of propaganda...
why do they report percentages
and not actual numbers?

Is it that saying 600 people out of 1000
is not as impressive as saying 60%?
Clearly the intent is to manipulate perceptions.

I asked and rhetorically answered:

The 1,000 people polled represent the electorate the pollster believes will show up at the polls and vote.

This really is a rhetorical debate and not a substantive one...


If pollsters can't make inferences from the relatively few people they contact they might as well close their doors and become onion farmers.

Temperature in the room will be 105 deg F
A grow bulb will be placed above each candidate
Rubio will have to eat 10 saltine crackers before speaking
Podium will be covered with salt

primary. I think he's gunning for vice president to whoever wins the nom.

I think his odds are pretty darn good

Too ethnic for their primary electorate.

Look what they did to Dukakis, McCain, and Kerry...

He's an empty suit, and his nervous dry mouth problem alone could do him in.

distrust his flip flopping on immigration.

The fact that he's an ethnic minority. There will be a huge swath of their primary electorate who might like him, but just won't be able to pull the trigger for him because of his roots.

Someone can correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't believe a minority has ever won a GOP primary or caucus.

But it remains to be seen just how much his Cuban heritage will affect his ability to make the sale with people who like to tell ethnic jokes with their friends. I don't think there's any doubt he has potential to do very well. But I also think there's a ceiling in a party where the electorate is comprised largely of xenophobes and bigots.

In my view because a few polls say otherwise and some analysts say otherwise doesn't mean we can just say "hey none of that will matter when the votes start getting counted" without seeing it in practice. It's possible that many will overcome their bigotry because of their lust for the WH but time will tell.

I'm way more interested in the GOP primary this time. It could be epic political theater.

Each GOP came in and polled better than the idiot voters knew. Once they got to know the new idiot his poll numbers slipped. I don't see how this year will be any different in that everyone of their candidates is moronic beyond belief.
