That's interesting, but since it's just an internet poll in a news article I don't think we can really draw conclusions from it.

Ahhh, but its claimed that the Rethuglicans already know this, and are targeting the add only to their base, who they hope to re-energize.

Andrew: No, of course not, but I thought it was interesting - pretty large spread there.

In any case, biases of internet surveys notwithstanding, it does look like an encouraging trend.
