This morning TIME's headline is screaming out that Hillary has a 19 point lead over Barack Obama.
It's stupid, it's bogus, and it doesn't matter...
ANY national poll at this point is useless... and none of them matter. (No matter how self-important these pollsters may believe themselves to be.)
1064 people polled is not a significant enough sample to demonstrate ANYTHING. And the fact that TIME describes them only as a random sample only undermines their own credibility...
As the time piece points out Hillary's recognition is high, but as it also accurately points out her negatives are feverish - Obama's aren't even close.
But the silliness of polls at this point is beyond laughable. The ONLY thing that matters is what the polls in Iowa, Nevada, New Hampshire and South Carolina have to say.
