Totally meaningless "opinion at the moment" polling categories that
can and, have repeatedly, become obsolete overnight, throughout this
current election cycle.
It's like the stock market: up and down. It's in no way to be taken as
permanent. It's merely a "snapshot in time," current trend. When
there's an actual Republican nominee, no one will care or remember how
"negative" the Republican primary was or wasn't.
The 2008 Democrat primary between Hillary and Barry was negative, but
it didn't hurt Barry in beating the Republican, McCain, in the general
election, for example.
The media just runs those polls, now, to give themselves "talking
points."
The "v. Obama" polls mean jackshit until after the two conventions.
They're not really much more than novelty polls at this point in the
proceedings.
