LAT poll: McCain now fourth, three points behind “Don’t Know”; Correction: Poll results are from April

Same question here as last week when Fred overtook him in California: is it an amnesty backlash biting him or is it just his general weakness? If the latter, then how is anti-amnesty warrior Mitt Romney now fifth? Granted, he’s got name recognition problems, but surely McCain’s association with the Frankenstein bill plus Mitt’s own performance at the debate should be good enough to reverse their order.
Fred, you’ll note, leads among religious conservatives, but Rudy scores highest elsewhere for electability, qualifications(!), ethics, and compassion. Even Hillary, who leads among the Democrats, couldn’t pull off that clean sweep: she’s just behind Obama in the ethics category overall, but, interestingly, leads among black voters. In fact, she leads Obama among black voters across the board. It’s amazing how much goodwill Slick Willie earned for her.
Also interesting: All Dems beat McCain and Romney head to head, but Rudy beats Hillary and Edwards. Obama beats everyone — except Hillary, of course.
Exit question: How badly am I going to torture KP with the Glacier’s latest “common touch” absurdity?
Update: I was wondering why Taegan Goddard was the only one who seemed to have the PDF of the new LAT poll results. Mystery solved: he has the wrong data. An e-mailer points out that the PDF I linked to here is from April 11. The new poll data hasn’t been released yet. My apologies for the error.

Shrillary ain’t got no J, though.

I don’t pay any attention to LA Times polls. They’re notorious for not only being off the mark, but way off.

I question Hill’s ball-handling skills.

I’ll bet she knows how to use her elbows in the paint.

I find it hard to believe that the amnesty backlash is not biting McVain. In addition to the fact that so much of the base deplores amnesty in the strongest possible terms, McVain’s own high profile in pushing it serves as a reminder of other issues where he’s went against the base on something fundamental, e.g., judges and McVain-Feingold. There’s simply no way that pushing for the immigration bill could help McVain in the polls, but it’s easy to see how it could hurt him.
I think Thompson’s inching closer to a formal declaration might be what’s hurting Mitt.

First, it must be recognized that the LA Times almost always predetermines the result of it’s polls. It is simply corrupt. That being said, I don’t believe there is a single McCain supporter left in the country. Not one. This angry egomaniac has destroyed free political speech and turned it over to the Democrats via the MSM, now he seeks to destroy the nation via the Amnesty and Open Borders Bill.

No CS! No! Don’t take the bait….

I do not believe Hillary is a ball player.

Sticks and stones may break our bones but sedition gets you booted the hell out!
Just another one of those silly little rules we all have to live with.
I always though Hill was an athletic supporter.
Actually, is she’s elected we’ll be stuck in the crotch.

He’s fifth probably because last year, he was for the amnesty bill.
For me personally, I will not even look at a candidate who flirted with the idea about granting amnesty. When I heard that Mitt was for the amnesty bill last year, that was all I needed to know.

Either way… Goodbye McCain!

Some McCain bye-ku:
Fare the well, St. John
Amnesty by any name
Is still amnesty

In other news, a dog with a sign over its head just came in 3rd in the GOP primary.

…must be lazy, the Fred Thompson type…
…I was a chessmaster, an opera diva, Miss Universe, and whatever else might come up…
My favorite is still “this country is ready for a multi-lingual president”. That will keep me laughing to the end of my coherent days/hours.
p.s. she’d kill to have such thin and muscled arms…

…and how could I forget her claim to Jewishness. This is going to be a fun year and a a half.
Entelechy on June 11, 2007 at 5:48 PM
Speaking of McVain, is anybody besides me already sick of his ad running on the front page?
I vote we bring back the t-shirt girl with the dromedary knuckle. I’d vote for her–perhaps as a ticket with the dog with a sign over its head–long before St. John of Tiajuana.
