Polls: Mirror, Mirror on the wall

Bill Hobbs has an insightful post about the latest Bloomberg Poll. ("McCain Slips to Third in Latest Bloomberg Poll as Fred Rises; Huckabee Happy Too") It's interesting to see how--based on a campaign's expectations, the same poll can be read so many different ways. For example:

"Most interesting data above other than Fred Thompson in second in a race he hasn't even entered and winning among Christian Conservatives: Romney's 6 percent among Christian Conservatives. That's dismal for Romney, though Huckabee's 6 percent among the same group has got to have the Huckabee camp jazzed up today. They're running their campaign for the equivalent of the Romney campaign's pocket change, and have pulled even with Romney among the single most important group of voters in the Republican primaries.
