Good site... a little biased, but good data

RealClearPolitics.com is the name of the site. I know, it's kind of an oxymoron, but they gather all of the latest poll data as it comes out and they compile it.

Some interesting stuff has happened in the last couple of weeks and even in the last couple of days. John McCain has come out of left field (pun?) to bring himself into a tie with Guilianni and Huckabee. Romney is slipping, but some still give him the best shot at getting the nomination.

In any case... 11 months out from election, this is how the match ups look.

Kind of makes you wonder... is there a difference in taking polls in order to answer the question of who people favor and taking polls in order to influence who people favor.

The other obvious point is that this represents the popular vote, which is not the one that counts. I wonder what the EC numbers look like.

Looking at these polls... I can understand some undecideds suddenly liking our AZ senator. I've personally never been a fan. I agree he is a great guy who has been through a lot. I'm not big on some of the stuff he has DONE. McCain/Feingold is a disaster. Fortunately he got cut off at the knees on immigration reform last summer. As for the rest... well, some of that appears to be developing... we'll see.
