General Election polls in April tell you - NOTHING
Hell, this one was in June:

June 19, 1992

Four polls taken by Gallup since May 18 have shown no significant fluctuations, measuring Mr. Perot's support at 34 to 39 percent, President Bush's at 31 to 35 percent and Mr. Clinton's at 24 to 25 percent.

In the latest Gallup Poll, taken June 12 to 14 with 1,000 registered voters nationwide, 34 percent preferred Ross Perot, while 32 percent favored President Bush, and 24 percent supported Bill Clinton. The poll had a margin of sampling error of plus or minus four percentage points.

1. Well, they tell you who's stupid enough to trust General Election polls in April.
Apparently, there's a lot of them.
