News from the Votemaster

Here is yet more proof that following the polls, especially the national polls, means absolutely nothing so far in advance of a presidential election. ARG, the leading New Hampshire polling firm, finds that Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) is losing support among the state's independents, who are the key to victory there since they can vote in either primary. McCain has dropped from 49% to 29% in a year. Message: a lot can happen in a year.

A new Gallup Poll shows Hillary Clinton and Rudy Guiliani to be the font runners nationally. But Gallup adds that at this point in the 1992 election cycle, Bill Clinton was in 11th place. Repeat of message: a lot can happen in a year.
