Who needs polls when you know Hilary is toast? Spread her with I Can't Believe it's not Butter and strawberry jam.

Hillary is a pig. We all know this now. she schedules an attack speech while she knows she is losing a state. PATHETIC, DESPERATE, LOSER!
Hillary makes misogyny acceptable.
Hillary is a loser that makes Democrats more loserable.

I voted in my first primary in Colorado this year. They also allow supposed party members to show up and fill out an "authentication form" if they do not appear on the "official list". So far, I have not heard a single word about anyone in the party or out checking these "authentication" forms against the actual registration lists of the clerk and recorders.

This is a bit like the hanging chads, isn't it? The fact is, people showed up in droves to vote for Obama and no one has ever verified their abiity to cast a democratic vote at the caucuses, polls, and otherwise. Perhaps the results may change if we ever get a chance to verify the results. In the meantime, don't hold your breath waiting for my vote for Obama. It just won't happen.

So, with 75% of the vote in it looks like Sen. Clinton has been trounced by 15 points-- 57 to 42--and that the most recent ARG poll was not too far off.

May their Texas polling be similarly accurate.

We know this - the wagon train is packed and ready to go. Americans are ready to venture out into the frontier of hope, there are unknowns - but the people are not fearful. Some will stay behind to take their Prozac.....

But you fail to note that HuffPo has been filled the past few days with polling data from Wisconsin.

The hypocrisy HuffPo displays on this subject is pathetic.

The polling organizations simply weren't prepared for this kind of election. Given a sufficient amount of time to research the demographics and hone the tracking algorithms, they can do a pretty good job. They were all really close in Iowa.

But then after that things just started moving too quickly for them to do a reasonable job. The viewing public expects polling data for each state on the primary calendar, so the pollsters are trying give us something, but it's all crap.

Without detailed turnout analysis and rolling, multi-day tracking windows, these polls are not much more than guesses based on anecdotal evidence. This race is too dynamic and fast-paced for the pollsters to have a chance. It will be much easier for them to track the general election.

I swear sometimes I think these bulls*** polls are trying to usher us in a certain direction. Let the people vote and the winner is the one with the most votes.

Tears worked right before the NH primary...maybe false accusations about Barack Obama will help Clinton here! My question is, what will she do when she doesn't get her way in a World Summit meeting?

Not to mention, Hillary ripped off Obama's "Yes We Can", and "Fired Up" before this whole thing even came up. You didn't hear Obama throwing accusations at Hillary, did you? No, because Obama has stuck to his pledge of running a clean campaign. Hillary has so much dirt in her past that Obama could bury her in it. But he has decency and honor. Unlike Hillary and her people. This is not plagiarism! I've been listening to progressive radio all day today, and several professors, teachers, and students have called in and said that this is not plagarism, and that this is just one more example of the dirty, underhanded tactics of the Clintons. Webster's dictionary says plagiarism is: "present another's writing as one's own." Barack did not do that. She can't handle that she's going to lose the nomination so she's going to take as many people down with her as possible. God, she disgusts me!

i keep up with all the polls at pollsterdotcom and i have to say the ARG polls are by far the one that are the most out of sync with reality. they hillary ahead in wisconsin when everybody had the opposite, they had barack ahead in texas when everybody had the opposite and it's been similar throughout the whole election cycle. i just ignore the ARG polls (though i do get nervous when they have my candidate ahead).

Thank you for telling us this.. I hate polls..

typo CNN 50 to 48 percent, no CNN 50 to 42. My apologies to CNN and to readers.

It is hard to take the American Research Group seriously. At the same time they had Hillary Clinton ahead in Wisconsin 49 to 43 percent based on their 2-15/2-16 poll, they are saying that in Texas that Barack Obama holds a lead of 48 to 42 percent over Hillary Clinton in a 2-13/2-14 poll. This at a time when every other poll had Clinton in the lead by as much as 20 points until the recent CNN poll that shows it 50 to 42 percent for Clinton, a statistical tie. It would be interesting to know how they are so far afield from the their polling colleagues. I heard CNN and MSNBC talking heads using ARG as a news story saying how Clinton was leading in Wisconsin but never one word about the ARG poll showing Obama leading in Texas. Does no one do research anymore? I think the news story here is that ARG has, essentially, discreted themselves as a source and no "news"person ought to be using their polls to drive a story.
