RealClearPolitics.com has not conducted a poll. They have averaged other polls, none of which are comparable.

CNN tracking is suggesting Clinton is at or near 40%, and Obama is under 30%.

The best source for polling results I've found is here:

Polls are updated daily at 7:30 am (EST) and a mouse over map comes in handy to get a quick over-view. For super tuesday, (Feb 5th) it should come in handy.

But, the subject of cell phones is becoming more relevant as more people are dropping their land lines. Something that may have direct relevance since the demographic of independents and younger voters seems to be increasing along with that trend.

This may explain why the Demoines Register poll was the only accurate predictor of the outcome and fuel rumors that they have created a new model for factoring in the gap of different phone technologies.

(from a study posted at electoral vote.com):

"Preliminary results from the July-December 2006 National Health Interview Survey (NHIS) indicate that the number of households with only wireless telephones continues to increase. During the last 6 months of 2006, more than 3 out of every 20 American homes (15.8%) did not have a landline telephone. Of those homes without a landline telephone, most had at least one working wireless telephone. Preliminary results from NHIS suggest that more than one out of every eight American homes (at least 12.8%) had only wireless telephones during the second half of 2006. These are the most up-to-date estimates available from the federal government concerning the size of this population­."

If anything, it's possible that Hillary's team - and Mark Penn particulary since he's not only her strategist, but her pollster, as well - have used a system that neglects to account for this phenomenon.

The Zogby poll is the most reliable. It is extremely close on the dem primary. Recommend people in NH get out and vote on Tuesday, because it is really close and every vote will matter.

I hate to see Edwards so low in the polls, but I hope he hangs in there.

I notice the figures only sum to 90, so does that mean 10 percent are still undecided? If that 10 percent splits evenly among the top three, we're looking at 37% for Obama, 34% for Clinton, and 22% for Edwards. Richardson comes in with about 6%—unless there's some major shift before Tuesday.

Intelligence from the Hillary Clinton campaign..­. HILLARY HAS 6,000 PAID "BLOGGERS" AROUND THE COUNTRY, paid to post on political blogs. They are paid a flat fee and must pull a quota every week.... more coming soon....

Let us not forget that Rush made his fortune off trying to take down Clinton from day 1. I can't imagine a better way to invigorate his career than to give him a second chance.

Its amazing to me how many people in the democratic party are trying to deligitmize Obama's surge. Its seems that democrats are more scared of change than republicans. Is it that hard to concieve of a new America? This is the problem, we have no backbone to imagine a different life. You want to use the same old (broken and useless) solutions to fix problems new and old. America is telling people that its time to try plan B. Like, MLK said everything starts with a dream and hope. The rest will fall into place.

I'm living in FL where our repug state reps decided to move our primary up to Jan 29th knowing full well that the DNC would strip us of our delagares at the convention. That being said , a very interesting thing happenned the day after Iowa. A Repug friend of mine changed his party affilliation to Dem so he could go vote for Hillary. He told me that he has to try to stop Obama at all cost. He knows that the anti-Hillary vote will come together helped by Rush, Hannity and the like to a point where it will seem that they are trying to stop the anti-christ or the devil herslf. He's afraid of Obama because he saw the young and independant voters flocking to him. With Hillary it's an easy win, with obama, he sees a disaster for the repugs.

Hillary is desparate and acting that way. On the debates, she said that she'd be the first woman president and that in itself represents change.

Barack, of course, didn't even touch that. It's obvious he'd be the first African-American president. Be he has rarely, rarely played the race card. Hillary plays the gender card way too often.

Hillary scares me how underhanded she is willing to be to win a vote. Has she no principles??

How much money are you willing to bet on Obama in the November election? All of it?
How about on Edwards or Clinton?

Who in Iowa actually voted for Obama? Well, white liberals, college students bussed in, and Republicans looking to derail the Dems.

Why did Obama"s presidential campaign receive its earliest substantial donations from the same right wingers who funded the Swift Boat attack ads against Kerry? (see See NYT"s story 3/7/07: Jared Abbruzzese " supporter of Swift Boats and Obama. http://www.nytimes.com/2007/03/07/us/politics/07obama.html?_r=1&pagewanted=all)
Why did Obama get his first major media mention from conservative pundits? Why is Fox gloating over him? Because they like his politics?

Relying on polls is like masturbating while wearing boxing gloves. One wonders if being tagged as Wicked Witch of the West hurts her Hillaryship more than other candidates ganging up on her in debates & campaigining. Polls don't address the effect a pejorative tag has on a candidate quickly. Sen Clinton may now be stuck with the tag Wicked Witch of the West for life. She has the guts to go on with the Wicked Witch of the West tag as Ms Helmsley did with Queen of Mean. But will the tag take the '08 nomination from her? She will damned sure try to get the nomination-tag or no tag.
Only death can stop Hillary Clinton from having clout in politics regardless of campaign '08.

Wow! America you are going to get it wrong again, after Bush 41 you elected Bill Clinton who was republican lite. You got Nafta and the telecommunications act that has helped put this country on the road to Fascism. Now sadly your two favorites candidates are Obama and Hillary who are both republican lite. Sorry I have absolutely no hope for change in this country. Say goodbye to your job if you still have one, it's on it's way to China and India...

Averaging polls is not reliable or useful. Notice that there is no margin of error in the RealClearPolitics.com poll average. That is because the margin of error cannot be obtained from fruit-basket combinations. The methodology in each poll is different from all or most of the others, and the time frames are different as well. Without a margin of error, the results are meaningless.

The best one can say at the moment is that the top two candidates in each party are tied. If new polls are released today or tomorrow, by almost anyone except ARG, the findings should be meaningful.

Does anybody think Edwards would be willing to run again for VP, with the big O? He didn't help Kerry as much as he could have, for whatever reasons, and pols don't usually do it twice, but it would be a very string ticket just on the demographics. Thoughts?

I didnt know this Obama guy is so respected in the UK this much.

I just read the telegraph where i got accurate information about NH developments. they seem to get estatic with him.

I think he will make a good president for america and inprove the country's image abroad
