Partly thanks to an increasingly likable image, the Republican presidential candidate has pulled even with the two Democrats still brawling for their party's nomination, according to an Associated Press-Yahoo news poll released Thursday. Just five months ago â;; before either party had winnowed its field â;; the survey showed people preferred sending an unnamed Democrat over a Republican to the White House by 13 percentage points.

I don't that kind of change is possible, unless we require all candidates, reporters, and bloggers to wear lie detectors set to give a strong electric shock whenever the wearer does not tell the truth.
I faithfully wear one every time I comment.
Or am I lying?

The McManiacs are out in force today. To bad they don't take the time to read the doggie do's voting record and his chummy ties to lobbyist he says he hasn't ever talked top lobbyist. LOL.
Dumber than stumps. Part of the reason this country is in such dire straits. Guess they support liars, cheats, and scum.

The trouble I have with this poll is that it's basically a likeability factor survey. We find out how people feel about certain issues but we don't find out what they know about where candidates stand on the issues. A more substantive poll would have questions like: "Knowing that ultra wealthy Senator John McCain who owns many homes with his multi-millionaire wife and receives tax payer funded healthcare and other benefits (aka socialism) has repeatedly voted against increasing vet benefits and providing health insurance for 10 million innocent American children, are you more likely to vote for him in November or would those vets and children be better off if a Democrat like Hillary or Obama were elected (since they've promised to insure all Americans and increase vet benefits)"? Something like that... ;-x

LOL...I wouldn't panic just yet, engineer. I love this poll... Of freaking COURSE McCain would start looking better to terrified flip-flopping cons once he became the nominee. Their dreams of a Huckleberry, Randy Rudy or Moneybags Mitt Presidency all dashed to hell by the time the later polls were taken. They know they had *better* start sucking it up and "liking" him--cause it's take him or leave him. How could he NOT look good?
Similarly, with only Hillary and Obama left to duke it out, of COURSE their spats will take center stage (CNN was already doing a 24/7 chronology of Hillary's cackle) and they will lose some points with the public. This ain't rocket science.

"Yes you are correct. The media is the only reason Obama and Hillary are losing points."
--Get a grip. I am not slamming the so-called "liberal media" as much as I'm pointing out the fact that the reason they may have dropped in the polls is that the field has narrowed and they are under the microscope to a much greater extent. It's all Hillary and Obama ALL the time. They're down in the polls because people have been talking about them for the last TWO years.
They ARE the Presidential race at the moment and their "bickering" (which you conjobs would simply refer to as politics if Republicans were doing it) is getting a closer look than it would have it Giuliani, Hucklebee, et al were still on the canvas trying to out family value the next candidate. Stop trying to spin. You'll hurt yourself.

I long ago realized that the planet was being overrun by the severely ignorant, the schizoid, the bizarre, and the hopelessly brain-damaged. Not a pretty picture, to be sure. But the defining moment for me was the '04 election outcome. I thought...Holy CRAP, does God HATE America?! When a subhuman creature like Bush gets re-elected, that's when you know that education and intelligent life in America has officially died a gruesome and tragic death and that there's little hope for its resurrection. ;-(
