MANCHESTER, N.H. -- The latest WMUR/CNN tracking poll shows that Barack Obama has moved into a significant lead over his Democratic rival, Hillary Clinton.
The poll, taken on Jan. 5 and 6, shows Obama leading Clinton, 39 to 29 percent. John Edwards has slipped to 16 percent from 20 percent, followed by Bill Richardson at 7 percent and Dennis Kucinich at 2 percent.
The poll has a margin of error of 5 percent.
On the Republican side, John McCain has maintained his 6-point lead over Mitt Romney, 32 to 26 percent.
Iowa winner Mike Huckabee has climbed slightly to 14 percent from 11 percent, followed by Rudy Giuliani at 11 percent, Ron Paul at 10 percent, and Duncan Hunter and Fred Thompson at 1 percent.
The Republican poll has a margin of error of 6 percent
I Hope she Goes Down in N.H., but she has More Lives than a Cat and both she and her ‘Husband’ are Almost Deity-Like in their Invincibility. :(
Schadenfreude! It goes delightfully well with any beverage from coffee to champagne! I am thinking of indulging in some with some Kentucky bourbon and branch!
Thanks,,bookmarked
“We are in a pile of trouble if Obama gets the nod.”
If he does get the nod and loses,or does’nt get the nod,third worlders (a mindset) will come out of the woodwork..
Just an opinion..
Just don’t think he’ll carry the red states..If you have to bus folks in fromm other states for show,it’s kind of telling..
Don’tcha think that maybe all of the polls we’ve been hearing about for the past year have been contrived by the 2 Clintons? Maybe now, the polls are the actual reflection all along were it not for the Clintons feeding *their* poll results to their media buffoons?
Some while back I read that Mrs. Clinton had 40 percent of those super delegates and that they were committed to vote for her on the first round. I take that to mean that beyond the first vote they are free to chose otherwise. I believe that Hillary Clinton will prevail because the machine behind her has their future invested in their access to the treasury of the US. She has socialist, at least philosophical,billionaire Buffet and socialist Sorros plus many multi millionaires backing her. I cannot concieve of them backing out over a few little states going for OBama. I also doubt that this type of primary fore play will be in place beyond this national election cycle. Much will change for 2012.
It doesn't say that.
From the poll results (PDF): "A total of 313 who say they plan to vote in the Republican presidential primary [...] were interviewed."
IOW, this could include independents, not just Republicans.
If I do say so myself, I put a great post about what I think is the beginning of the end of the Clintons on my Blog.
Check the left sidebar, right at the top.
Maybe nobody will read it but I had a great time writing it.
“Why do you assume that Barak Obama is unelectable? I think hes highly electable, moreso than Hillary in fact. He doesnt have a long track record to criticize, so you can project anything onto him.”
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
It grieves me sorely to say that I think you are almost certainly right. Hillary never had the lock on the female vote that many seemed to think, Obama, in my humble opinion, is far stronger there and if he is seen by the blacks as electable they will give him ninety six percent support. The idea of either one in the White house fills me with nausea, trembling and cold sweats.
Hard to say. With the democrats and Clinton it is a matter of follow the money. The democrat leaders feel they do about whatever they want and they know their voters have no where else to go (sounds like the republicans).
So true
Actually, I posted the Jan 4-5 document. I don’t think the Jan 5-6 one has been released yet. But I imagine the methodology was similar.
LOL.
THANKS.
She may end up looking as dumb as she is.
I hope she does well in NH. I think it would be harder for any of the GOP candidates to beat Obama than to beat her.
The superdelegates can change their minds.
From the Democratic Convention Watch Blog:
“The [Clinton] campaign has been making a round of calls to reassure notoriously fickle “superdelegates” elected officials and party regulars who are awarded convention spots by virtue of their titles and positions who might be reconsidering their decisions...”
Of course, that is why there are the payoffs!
They’d have to stay bought, though, and let’s remember, they are Dems. I predict that, regardless of whatever Hillary tries to promise them, if Obama clearly wins the primaries, enough will dump her to give him the nomination. He, and not she, will be the new power center of the party with the ability to pass out patronage jobs, DNC funds, etc. She’ll be...the junior Senator from NY and a big, fat loser, loser, loser! (Sorry, just enjoying myself.)
The fact that she’s already on the phone begging and promising after only one caucus loss tells me she’s scared they’ll jump ship.
I have heard that Soros is actually anti-Clinton.
We all can dream!
However, the DNC is all about coronating their leader.
