1. I live in Florida and I am angry

The reason for this poll result is people are under the IMPRESSION Hillary has it sewn-p.....WRONG........There are alot of people who have other ideas.....I have many many Dem friends in the state in different areas and NOT ONE has received a call from Rassmussen about the primary..AND...not ONE of them will vote for Hillary...
I say don't believe thew polls just yet..we have much work to do.......
We need a candidate of change not to triangulate.

3. It's amusing everytime I read ......

no one is voting for Hillary, yet she keeps going up in the polls. The people I talk to are voting for Hillary so it seem to go with the polls.

4. I'm a born and raised Floridian

She's become very popular here and not knowing anyone who has recieved a call from Rassussen is almost a given when you take into count the numbers.

5. And my familial reaction to Hillary's popularity is totally different.

My extended family are angry they were robbed during the 2000 election. The outcome of the 04'election was also unsatisfactory to them. They've vowed to have their voices heard this time around and are working hard to make sure Hillary wins Florida. They tell me, everyone they know is for Hillary and are in overdrive working on the undecided to turn their way.

They've made many new friends because of Hillary!! :hi:

6. You mean in a state of over 18 million people...

You don't know anyone who got a call from Rasmussen?

Wow...what are the odds?

8. Yet the Florida polls in 2000 were dead on regarding Gore.

I clearly remember posting about the polls on the TampaBayOnline forums back then that Gore was pulling into a dead heat with Bush in Florida. Other posters mocked and jeered me, and called me stupid, and tried to pound into my posts that the coattails of JEBs "popularity" will cause an overwhelming outpouring of Bush votes on election day.

Most democrats in Florida that I know supported Hillary even before I had made my decision to support her.

9. I'm from Florida and

most people I know support Hillary, but none of them has received a call from Rasmussen, either. Go figure.

2. Wait.. didn't Hillary's support "peak" a month ago?

At least that's what I've been hearing on DU :eyes:

7. Maybe...somewhere, but she's gaining support most everywhere including the South.nm
