| 18. I dont like that poll |
|
There are too many decided people in that poll and it probably because of the way they phrased the question. They said "Do you support Clinton, Obama, Edwards, or somebody else. Sounds like Survey USA has cut out everybody else.

Most polls don't show a 30 point gap, they show a 10 point gap. |
