File talk:Republican Presidential Primaries 2012.png

This image is unscientific and misleading. It is also very premature to make a graph of opinion polls now, as the primary has months and months to go. It is terribly inaccurate because there has not been any straight-line polling for any candidate; Romney, Paul and Huntsman have all had some fluctuation up and down, regardless of how consistent this polling may make it seem. It is also false that the candidates will have a tiered division of four then two then one candidate until up against Obama. My recommendation is that the tiered section at the end be removed, and the graph be given some scientific validity through at least the percentages on the y-axis. The graph is a colossal waste of time considering how many links there are to the realclearpolitics averaging, and it is just too premature for wikipedia to update again and again and again.--Screwball23 talk 16:57, 24 November 2011 (UTC)Reply
