Default West Virginia: Clinton 55% Obama 27%

hursday, March 20, 2008
Advertisment

Looking down the road to May 13, Senator Hillary Clinton holds a huge lead over Senator Barack Obama in the West Virginia Presidential Primary. The first Rasmussen Reports telephone survey of the race shows that Clinton attracts 55% of the Likely Democratic Primary Voters while Obama is supported by 27%. Eighteen percent (18%) are not sure.

Clinton is viewed favorably by 72% of West Virginia’s Primary Voters, Obama by 53%.

By a 48% to 31% margin, the West Virginia voters believe Clinton will be the stronger general election candidate against John McCain. However, by a 47% to 35% margin, they believe Obama will win the nomination. Even 32% of Clinton voters expect Obama to be the Democratic nominee in 2008.

If Obama is nominated, just 42% of Clinton supporters say they are even somewhat likely to vote for him against McCain. Eighteen percent (18%) of Clinton voters say that they are Not Very Likely to vote for Obama and 35% say they are Not at All Likely to vote for Obama.

On the other hand, if Clinton is nominated, 57% of Obama voters are at least somewhat likely to vote for the former First Lady.

The economy is the top voting issue for 51% of Likely Primary Voters. Overall, 53% say the focus should be on reducing the income gap between rich and poor. Thirty-nine percent (39%) say the focus should be on creating more economic growth.

Fifty-eight percent (58%) say that Obama has received better media treatment than Clinton. Just 16% believe that Clinton has benefitted from media preference.

Nationally, Obama holds a very narrow lead over Clinton in the Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll.

Obama is a major loss for Democrats now.

Hillary Clinton can and would be beat by McCain but Obama would simply be destroyed.

Clinton is easily gaining the majority of the white voters and is winning over the large percentage of the white vote, and I don't blame the voters in the states left with primaries. How a white voter could vote for someone who attends a church with a reverend who says such deragatory and racist comments towards whites and then Obama is unable to say that he won't stop attending the church is outright unacceptable in my opinion. Why college students love this guy, I have no idea. It further shows that we, the youth, are idiots as a whole.

"Change" we can believe in. Makes me want to kick something every time I hear it. Proud college student that never supported Obama. Should be a fun race anyway.

I think your speaking too early. Nobody has really taken any shots at McCain yet the way Clinton and Obama have endured. It will be interesting to see how negative publicity will affect McCain.

Yeah, except the NY Times Editorial Board who got a swift spanking from the rest of the media for being such lousy journalists.

I actually can't wait until the Democrats try taking their shots at McCain..they are so petty in their attacks that the American people will quickly be disgusted by them.

Kinda like their 100 years" routine. It says to people "hey are you an idiot?... we hope you are so heres are lame line!"

+the Democrats have no sense of humor..thats going to hurt them bad. McCain can unman them with a single line.

Is it maybe possible tht Obama is being honest? Your opinion does not matter when he makes personal preferences as to which church he attends. Not only this, it isn't only the college students deciding to back Obama (although I cannot see how this is negative; an educated youth voting is always positive) it is a fair few of the whites. Show me one policy or argument that Clinton has brought forward that shows her fiber, her morale, and her strength. Obama has done this on countless occasions.

If Obama is receiving his votes from the black population, then Hilary receives hers from the racist white and feminists. Both assumptions are of course incorrect but similar in their extremity.

Let us not get this election into a war of races and genders. That is not the point of a president. Choose the campaigner with the more powerful ideals, the one that shows the strength of mind and the sensibility to lead the most powerful nation in the world.

I am an Australian. I do not particularly care who wins the election. But I can say without much hesitation that Obama seems to be the better man for the job at this point in time.
