Polls: Rasmussen-Clinton narrows Obama's lead. Gallup nat'l poll-Clinton beats McCain, Obama loses

And yes, I know. The Gallup poll about the Democratic nomination shows Obama's lead over Clinton widening, 51% to 42%.

But Rasmussen shows a narrowing lead.

And the Gallup national poll shows Obama losing to McCain by 3%, while Clinton beats McCain by 2%.

Polls are meaningless now.

The reason her supporters believe she would be more electable as the Democratic nominee.

But if Obama is the nominee, it's the reason she should be the VP.

And whether or not his supporters here are willing to think about these poll results, I hope he's wise enough to be thinking about them.

I think he'd like a VP he can trust, politically and otherwise.

There is a very good chance Clinton will be on the ticket. It does NOT help to see attacks on her here that sound as if they came straight from wingnuts.

Not just that, but George W. Bush is still "president," which means a million nasty surprises could await us.

phone users has Obama up 48%-47 so... whatever on May polling.

But I thought Rasmussen was going to stop doing tracking polls with Clinton.

when Republicans kept using it in 2000. Is there NO freeper tactic you guys won't adopt?

"You lost...get over it."

Does that make me a freeper? Your logic is flawed.

it's the constant non-stop hateful attacks on democrats.

but its also appropriate.

Blind ignorance to truth is something also displayed by our intellectually challenged right-wing friends, how are you different?

It's ok, just let it out. We're just waiting for the day when you stop letting reality teabag you and post the photos on it's MySpace page.

:shrug:

in 2000? It was reality - Gore DID lose. Were you tickled when Scalia just said it?

I'm gonna guess that that most people here didn't like it much. So why use it now?

stolen from him in 2000? I'm honestly not trying to be snarky, but I would be interested if you could point out the parallels for me... :shrug:

I'm saying "You lost, get over it" is a jerkish thing to say, especially since nobody's won or lost yet.

I agree for the most part...

I mean, if Clinton was the presumptive nominee, or if she had a chance of being the nominee, it might be relevant. But she isn't the presumptive nominee, she doesn't have a chance of being the nominee, and it isn't relevant.

Take those IDIOTS with a grain........

RCP is an AVERAGE..and the only reliable way to look at polls

:*

Just as some Obama supporters here who were celebrating that poll ignored what Gallup said about Clinton's electability in the GE, compared to Obama's.

He isn't the nominee yet. He's very likely to be, but if you think superdelegates aren't considering whether Clinton might be more electable in the GE, you're naive.

A unity ticket is our best chance of winning in November. If the delegate numbers and popular-vote numbers were reversed, with Clinton slightly ahead, she would still need Obama on the ticket to have a good chance of winning. And he needs her and her supporters, if he really wants to unite the party and win.

didn't Rasmussen stop polling the Democratic Primary because they concluded (as has anyone with knowledge of math) that Clinton can't win? Why yes, yes Rasmussen did stop polling the Democratic Primary because they concluded (as has anyone with knowledge of math) that Clinton can't win.



worthless OP.

46 of the 50 states have voted already!!!

And Clinton wins by more in PA.

and Mississippi and Wyoming, then Ohio and Florida won't matter! :crazy:

Anybody still arguing about Clinton's chances at this stage is never going to have any thought I want to take time to read.

You might as well post a poll showing how John Edwards does against McCain, for all the relevance it has.

"At the moment, Senator Clinton’s team is busily trying to convince Superdelegates and pundits that she is more electable than Barack Obama. For reasons discussed in a separate article, it doesn’t matter. Even if every single Superdelegate was convinced that the former First Lady is somewhat more electable than Obama, that is not enough of a reason to deny him the nomination.

With this in mind, Rasmussen Reports will soon end our daily tracking of the Democratic race and focus exclusively on the general election competition between Republican John McCain and Democrat Barack Obama."
