certain way, my answer would be they represent a snapshot it time. That can change if taken at another time, but if enough polls are taken with periodic frequency a trend may emerge which is indicative of sentiment.

As to your pointing out that I was in a non-reform candidate group, I absolutely screwed up on that one also. I really thought it was GD. I have inadvertently done this before with another group, and whether you believe or not I really would not have gone in a special group forum to advocate for or against someone outside of that group. I do apologize for that also.

Incidentally, though my posts may indicate I am a Hillary supporter, the fact is I haven't decided, and won't until I see what challengers appear in the Democratic primary, and where they are on various issues.

I do appreciate you pointing out the group I was posting in was NOT GD.

Thanks, and sorry for the delayed response
