Seriously, who gives a damn what a poll, taken more than a year and a half from the election, says? A year ago Hillary Clinton and Rudy Giuliani were huge favorites in presidential polls. Just a few months ago John McCain's numbers were practically negative.

But if you want to use a poll now, there are a few other things you should find out. Name recognition, favorable/unfavorable, depth of commitment -- these numbers, if they had been gathered, would have shown significantly different probabilities.

Whoever approved paying for this "poll" at the Daily News should be strung up for wasting their money.

Mr. Markowitz signed off on a multi-million dollar disaster, namely the lighting for the Parachute Jump in Coney Island. Now they want to spend another 1.5 million dollars to fix the problems. If he can't make the right judgement call as to a ligting project how can this buffoon take on the duties of the Mayor of New York City. It's a real joke.
