Poll question: buyer's remorse?
Let's see how much of this so-called "buyer's remorse" actually exists.

1. DU is 95-5 for Obama. The buyer's remorse is in the real world
Charles Manson could get 95% on the netroots against Clinton.

4. I haven't had the opportunity to vote yet as
our primary isn't until May 6th. A few months ago, I planned on voting for Kucinich, but he dropped out. Then I went to Edwards, and he suspended his campaign. Then I settled on Hillary. I have no regrets at all. I will be voting for her on May 6th.

6. Hard to tell, but it sounds catchy for those who want to use it.

Each state only has one primary, and you can't necessarily base the results from the next one upon results from the former(as there are a whole host of factors that need to be controlled for) and arguably cannot. Polling can provide suggestive evidence but there have been clear gaps between tx/ohio, and before pennsylania, where obama closed 20+ point leads. Some of these situations, Sen. Clinton has performed a few points better than some primary-eve polls may have suggested, but one potential explanation is when you add in the number of undecideds to these poll numbers. These late decideds going for clinton is an excellent achievement for her, but it's still not clear that it's buyers remorse as you could argue that these people may have never BOUGHT obama's message to begin with, they were undecided.
