The bottom line is no one is paying attention this far out in the game. When I watch the 5pm local news, they barely even mention a peep about politics. Unless, you are watching corp news media, CNN MSNBC etc you won't hear anything about the 2012 election. The public will start paying attention near August on forward. I just believe that Obama and Axelrod know what the hell their doing, they know how to win elections. We just have to be patient, no one will remember what you said or what happened in June in the fall. These pollsters want to see a horse race anyhow, that doesn't mean we should become complacent, but we can take these articles with a grain of salt.
