  - She was going into Iowa (which took place on 1/3 so the poll above is three weeks *after* Iowa) -- (edited) - iSpam Jan 26, 08:56

        It's a real problem. The party has had 8 years to produce a viable national candidate but has yet to do so. -- nm - David Jan 26, 09:22 6
        
        Few things about this 1) they did - Will Hunting Jan 26, 09:28 5
        
        Democrats have a better candidate sitting on the sideline than Republicans have produced in 8 years. - David Jan 26, 09:42 4
        
        Who's on the sideline? - Will Hunting Jan 26, 09:51 3

      - My argument is that national polls are useless right now. I pulled one example to meet his criteria. - spamlet Jan 26, 09:11 15
        
        It is one thing to say that they aren't definitive. It's way too much to say they are useless. -- nm - Reagen Jan 26, 09:21 3

        (I agree.) - JaxSean Jan 26, 09:43
        
        But even with Hillary, she still almost got the nomination. so, it's not really that those polls were meaningless. - Inigo Jan 26, 09:16
        
        To this point, all you've done is post numbers as if they're telling a story. They're not. - David Jan 26, 09:14 9
        
        Clinton above (2008). Gringrich was +21 a month out from Iowa (2012). Huckabee only got to +14 a month out in 2008. - spamlet Jan 26, 09:24 8
        
        So, you can't find another example for a week out, your original assertion? - David Jan 26, 09:31 7
        
        Guys, let's just let things play out. In 7 days, we'll know if Trump's legit or not. - Will Hunting Jan 26, 09:35 5
        
        Wait, there is doubt he will win Iowa? -- nm - Spawn Jan 26, 09:37 4
        
        It's actually a coin flip between the two guys Republicans don't want to be the candidate. -- nm - David Jan 26, 09:43
        
        Cruz is polling close (and was ahead). Iowa is a conservative state for these votes. - Will Hunting Jan 26, 09:39 2
