The poll above has had a lot of voters, well over 300,000 voters. While it is far from a scientific poll, I am surprised how John Edwards loses almost 12% when asked who we thought was going to win. I hope that people still vote for who they want in the election even though they have a feeling their candidate of choice is not going to get the nomination.
I am really surprised at this poll the most. Mike Huckabee, after winning Iowa, I thought would be unstoppable. He wasn't expected to win, kind of like John Kerry in 2004, and he had a lot of momentum going into states like Nevada, New Hampshire, and South Carolina. However, his momentum in my eyes is at a stand-still. Even Romney is falling back, which is surprising.This also raises the question that if Democrats are divided as to who should be the nominee, and in regards to this poll, the Republicans are united, it really makes you wonder if the Democrats are going to rally behind the eventual candidate.

Rhi - when was this poll taken?
Huckabee was pimped out by the media for a while and that is where is boost came from, in my opinion.
And in terms of the Democrats, I think they won't be too united come November. Hillary is too divisive and really ran a brutal primary campaign. Independents do not really like her, and they like McCain. I think this Dem primary will leave a bad taste in the voters' mouths. The Republicans are trying to win but they aren't as ruthless and they do always make it a point at every debate to bash Hillary Clinton
The poll went up under the Election section on aol.com either today or yesterday.
