1. You are right to not believe it
Edited on Tue Oct-23-07 12:17 PM by Kurt_and_Hunter
It's an opt-in online poll that claims that 1) 47% of people have enough familiarity with Mike Gravel to have a strong opinion about him, and 2) That 59% of senior citizens will "never" vote for Clinton.

Both of those data-points are demonstrably false, so the poll isn't much use.

3. Are you sure?
It says: "This is up from 46% who said they could never vote for Clinton in a Zogby International telephone survey conducted in early March." Even if it were an online poll, I would put some credibility in Zogby, their reputation depends on it.

But I do wonder why this poll is so inconsistent with other polls that show Hillary at a huge lead over other Democrats.
