Why would CBS commission SUSA to conduct this poll?  Why would anybody have commissioned them to do it?

[Aizen]

Haha, what a waste of money

[Hashemite]

LOL!

who cares?

You had your chance Cali and you blew it.  There are no taksies backsies in elections.

[Senator Sbane]

HAHAHA godamn early voting... the only reason Clinton is still alive.

I'd be interested in seeing a redo New Hampshire poll, while we're repolling states that voted months ago.

What's the point?  Nearly all the polls showed Obama winning by a big margin even at the time.

This poll is interesting, but I think it should be removed from the polling averages for California. It's skewing the numbers there and I think it'd be better to have the rolling averages represent the true pre primary average. Not that it matters a ton but I enjoy looking back at how accurate the rolling average was for each individual state.

For that matter, the polls taken in Michigan and Florida in March about how people would vote in a potential revote should also be taken out of the totals since a revote isn't going to happen.

We aren't going back and modifying the 2004 polls to include polls taken today of how people would've voted on the Kerry-Bush race.

Never call California that again.

Clinton won because of early votes cast during the "Hillary is inevitable" phase. Obama probably won votes cast on election day. Same in New Hampshire.

Most early voters are probably fairly sure about their vote, and not that likely to switch if they wait a couple more weeks.  Clinton won California by an 8% margin.  Do you *really* think that her early vote margin was *that* lopsided that Obama could have won solely by getting Clinton early vote converts?
