Zogby: Obama 59% , to Clinton 33% (National)
Released: May 21, 2008

Obama Builds Lead Over Clinton in National Contest

As he moves ever closer to wrapping up the Democratic Party presidential nomination, Obama is also opening up a big lead over Clinton among Democrats nationwide. In a national preference test, he leads her by a 59% to 33% margin, the latest Reuters/Zogby poll shows.

He completely dominates among those voters under age 35, winning more than 80% support, but also leads among all voters under age 70, where she holds a solid advantage. Obama also now leads among almost all likely Democratic voters according to political philosophy – moderates, mainline liberals, and progressives. Clinton leads only among conservative Democrats.

Obama also leads Clinton among both Catholics and Protestants, and among those who claim no religious affiliation.

1. But but but -- that can't be -- Obama can't win Clinton's supporters!
Edited on Wed May-21-08 10:36 PM by high density
It's the only thing Clinton has left now: her delusional supporters!

"Clinton leads only among conservative Democrats."

2. I'm not going to discuss Hillary anymore as of tomorrow.
I will not answer threads with Hillary's name on them other than to say, Hillary = Bush

9. I understand your point, but unless something changes, I will take the clinton camp
at their word, that they are considering taking this fight to the convention

I don't blame you, but this fight is far from over, and I recommend that we should not be complacent

3. most of the big polls say the same
I'm tired of Hillary being in it but the voters have to vote for her and then she goes home.

13. Could it be backlash?
Could the rank-and-file Dems be a bit pissed off at her for trying to change the rules in the middle of the game? Could they be disgusted by way she's trying to hurt Obama's chances in the GE by implying that sexism is the reason she didn't get the nomination, when in fact, it was her terrible campaign strategy? Could they be offended by the way she constantly dismisses the smaller states as "unimportant" and doesn't even count the caucus states in her popular vote total?

Just a thought.

18. I think folks are tired of a President that makes excuses and shifts blame.
How far can she get with that kind of whining, anyway? Is she gonna blame high oil prices on Arab sexism?? Sheesh!

8. Hillary can try to take this to the convention, but if the poll spread stays around here...
... I think that shame will override pride.

20. Hillary? Shame?
Edited on Wed May-21-08 11:19 PM by Beregond2
Have you been reading the malarkey she is spouting in Florida? A capacity for shame is clearly not among her attributes.

17. You know, I've been pretty tolerant of Clinton staying in, but the time has come
We're seeing this swelling of excitement for Obama again, and we better not let it get away again. If she steps out gracefully (as possible) now, and let's the enthusiasm continue, we'll be in incredible shape in November.

27. there are just some states
we cant win. their conservative populations are just to great. but there are alot of states that actually have alot of moderates and heck, even some liberals... so suspect we will do very well in the GE assuming this primary hasnt damaged us.

30. And for those of you who think it is just Zogby
Here are the Gallup results.




It is a good thing there are only two weeks left in the primaries, or pretty soon her numbers would be below George W. Bush's
