sorry I have no link

[TwilightGardener]

1. Oh MAN! I hope that's accurate!

[Hope And Change]

I hope too but if not then you know who to hang.

:P

[Cha]

13. So where'd ya see it?

And this with the "Labor Unions in Iowa backing hillary".. I hope so!

Never mind..I just saw where it was faux.

[Hope And Change]

18. zidzi, I read it on the Obama blog.Some people watched Fox News..

today and saw the new DMR poll.But let`s wait if someone else could confirm this.

[Cha]

21. Thanks! Hope And Change~

Yeah, we're gonna see if the people who get to decide our candidate want Hope and Change, too, or just the same ol' "scare 'em into submission" drivel.

[maximusveritas]

28. Could you give a link to the blog then?

Sorry, but I don't believe this. Why would it be on Fox before its on their site?

[Hope And Change]

34. There you go...

37. Doesn't seem too reliable

The guy says he was doing something else when it flashed on the screen. And he says Yepsen confirmed it, but the transcript has nothing about it.
I guess we'll find out, but I highly doubt this is the actual result of the poll.

[maximusveritas]

41. Figured it out - these are numbers from the last Iowa poll

"The same Iowa Poll showed Obama receiving the most support from new caucusgoers, with 37 percent supporting him, followed by 26 percent for Clinton and 20 percent for Edwards."

[Hope And Change]

42. Thanks for clarifiying that.

[BleedingHeartPatriot]

47. From Dec 2nd? Thanks for doing the research, mv.

MKJ

[Adelante]

2. I have to tamp down my hopes on this one

Please please please. :scared:

[rucky]

3. What do you suppose is causing all this poll drama...

among the top-3?

I suppose there's a ton of local advertising and volunteerism and stumping and media coverage that we don't really get a taste of outside of Iowa.

[SharonRB]

4. Latest poll on CNN

Edwards 24
Clinton 23
Obama 22

It's going to come down to a photo finish, I think.

[annie1]

5. ouch. s--t.

[madinmaryland]

6. Fox News as a source?

:wtf:

[BleedingHeartPatriot]

8. A pattern emerges.

The OP recently linked to a RW smear website in an anti-Sen. Clinton OP yesterday.

Thankfully, the mods were on it and it was deleted.

So, per his record, FAUX is probably liberally biased. :-) MKJ

[Hope And Change]

9. What you also forgot to say that I also apologized and alerted myself..

to ask the Mods to delete my thread because I couldn`t edit my thread.After a certain time you can`t edit your post.If you don`t believe me ask others who saw my posts in that thread.

[BleedingHeartPatriot]

10. I saw that, the question though is why did you think that was a credible source to begin with?

MKJ

on edit, and the apology and alert was only forthcoming after many DU'ers, several of whom are supporters of other candidates than Sen Clinton, called out the site.

Second edit, following that incident with a post touting FAUX as a source just reinforces what appears to be a pattern.

[Hope And Change]

11. Well, it was a mistake of my part because I posted it in a hurry ...

I had to go.Didn`t check out the source.Will be more careful the next time.What more do you want from me?

Remember I`m pretty new here.Try to have patience with me.

[BleedingHeartPatriot]

12. How is that you even landed there? Being new isn't a reason to explain your

belief that site has any credibility.

MKJ

[Hope And Change]

14. Obviously you didn`t read my post.Do you want me to write with big letters..

to understand?

Feel free to have the last word.

[BleedingHeartPatriot]

15. The fact that you used a slime article from a far RW whacko website as an OP and then

quoted FAUX as a credible source the next day, is the only thing upon which I'm remarking.

MKJ

on edit, spelling

[Hope And Change]

16. Easy, you must have woken on the wrong side today...

let`s wait before someone else can confirm it.I didn`t see this personally.I saw it on the Obama blog.In any case, polls are not to be trusted but the last time the DMR poll got it right in 2004, if I remember correctly but not sure...

You really have to chill out dude...

[Adelante]

22. Give it a rest

This is a newbie who made a mistake yesterday, has apologized repeatedly, and may have posted prematurely out of excitement today. I was one who pointed out yesterday about carefully checking sources before posting. But I see no reason for keeping the suspicion going this way.

[BleedingHeartPatriot]

39. And, yet, after your kind response and suggestion

an un sourced poll, allegedly DMR, from FAUX was posted.

I've searched the DMR site multiple times, it's nowhere to be found.

Has this penultimate poll been posted anywhere else? MKJ

[Joe the Revelator]

23. Oh give it a rest. I've seen much worse posted from His44

[BringBigDogBack]

36. dude, chill the f out

[Auntie Bush]

51. You're forgiven. Welcome to the snake pit.

[loveangelc]

33. it's not a Fox News poll its a D-Register Poll, Fox News just reported it

anyway, its going to come down to the wire and I dont trust any of these polls as much as I hope this is right.

[MethuenProgressive]

7. Very good website for caucus info:

http://www.desmoinesregister.com/apps/pbcs.dll/section?category=caucus
Quite a bit better than watching FOX, imo.
Nothing re the OP's poll yet.

[Pirate Smile]

17. I don't see that on the DMR website or any of the political websites.

This doesn't make much sense.

[SoxFan]

20. Yepsen probably leaked it

David Yepsen, the Register's political writer, was on Chris Matthew's show this morning. He probably slipped the numbers to Fox.

[itsrobert]

19. BS

Maybe among republicans.

[Joe the Revelator]

25. Sour Grapes Much?

[itsrobert]

27. No, I'm in California

We don't have sour grapes. Maybe some raisins, but they aren't sour either.

[Joe the Revelator]

24. Is there a link yet?

If this is real, might as well wright it down. The last DMR poll is scary accurate.

[itsrobert]

26. write

n/t

[Joe the Revelator]

29. Thanks super duper grammar patrol

Why don't you worry less about my spelling, and more about adding something productive to the conversation?

[itsrobert]

30. Like a BS poll with no link

How is that productive?

[Joe the Revelator]

32. This is a huge poll. If these numbers are correct when the poll is officially release, history...

says that this is the running order.

[BleedingHeartPatriot]

35. How do we know that these numbers are correct?

Has it been confirmed anywhere else?

MKJ

[Joe the Revelator]

38. We don't yet, but we should know soon enough.

[BleedingHeartPatriot]

49. Well, now we know, they're entirely inaccurate.

MKJ

[mtnsnake]

31. Who even watches Fox? That filthy channel is off limits & my remote is programmed to skip it.

[BringBigDogBack]

40. No wai!

Hope those numbers are correct

[Nedsdag]

43. That's cool, if it's true!

But, then again, this is Iowa and I really don't trust any polls until the end of the day on Jan. 3.

[dajoki]

44. Extremely odd compared to this new poll...

[itsrobert]

46. Thanks; an actual LINK to a real Poll

Not like the one made up in the OP's head.

[Kurt_and_Hunter]

45. Those numbers are among "First Time Caucus Goers" from the previous DMR poll

the source of the OP was a blog entry refering to the previous poll, saying:

"The poll shows that Obama receives 37% support of 1st time caucus goers with Clinton at 26% and Edwards at 20%."

Understandable error. No biggie.

[loveangelc]

48. booooo.

[annie1]

50. grrrrrr. *cries*
