Poll question: In light of these kind of poll results linked below, here at DU...
Edited on Tue Aug-07-07 05:36 PM by Mr_Jefferson_24
...Do you trust the integrity of national polls that consistently show Hillary as the front runner with a widening lead?

And secondly, do you think MSM is purposefully attempting to marginalize Edwards?

1. They seem to be doing whatever they
can to get at Edwards. You can almost smell their fear of him though, he would not be good for the corporations.

As far as Hillary they are giving her every move air time. She is the most well known name though and she is really working hard and getting around. She is very good at the debates.

3. That's the way it seems to me...
...and even so, I don't think she could get the Dem nomination with honest vote collection and counting.

4. What are the Iowa polls saying?
The primary isn't national so what does it matter? Momentum is built off the early primaries.
