If it was as important in '08 then the very example you give of Hillary having such a strong lead early on would have carried her to the win. President Obama won because so many were willing to say damned with the polls, we're picking who we want.

I do very much believe there's a lot fewer this time around willing to risk it given what needs to be removed from the Whitehouse, and many are just looking at who is most capable of removing him.. thus much more focus on what these polls say, and less willingness to ignore them to pick the candidate they'll support.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Undecided

In the Fox Poll, Harris got 8% - not much difference between 8% and CNN's 5% - both single digits Skya Rhen Aug 2019 #7

I like polling, have never trusted Fox but I'll check it out later. Kind of Blue Aug 2019 #10

Fox uses an A rated pollster and CNN uses an A- rated pollster... Skya Rhen Aug 2019 #13
