26. Well there is a reason I do not watch cable news including MSNBC

All those polls are also geared towards getting a specific talking point for their show.

For DU I think it's different since there are poeple like myself who is still deciding for the primaries but more than happy to vote for her in the general election.

But for some of those Undecided/Other Dem supporters here at DU, I think they get annoyed when they see stuff that 'assumes' it's already Hillary as the nominee. I think we should try and do these things in a way that respects that there will be other candidates. I mean people did assume it was Hillary in 2008 and well, we know how that turned out.
