Daily Presidential Tracking Poll (In Nov 71% of dems would vote for Hillary, 64% for Obama)

Rasmussen ^ | March 25, 2008 | Rasmussen

[tlb]

John McCain continues to lead both potential Democratic opponents. McCain leads Barack Obama 50% to 41% and Hillary Clinton 48% to 43%

McCain is viewed favorably by 55% of voters nationwide and unfavorably by 42%. Obama’s reviews are 46% favorable and 52% unfavorable. For Clinton, those numbers are 45% favorable, 52% unfavorable.

In the Democratic Presidential Nomination, it’s Clinton 46%, Obama 43%. For the past week-and-a-half, Obama’s support has been between 43% and 47% every day. Clinton’s support has ranged from 42% to 46%

New polling data from Pennsylvania shows Clinton with a ten-point late in the Keystone State’s April 22 Primary. In discussing that Primary, Governor Ed Rendell indicates that the Clinton campaign is ready to keep fighting to the end of the primaries and beyond.

The division in the Democratic Party is highlighted by the fact that just 71% of Democratic Primary voters now say they will vote for Hillary Clinton in the general election campaign. If Barack Obama is nominated, 64% of Democratic Primary voters are ready to vote for him.

Clinton is currently viewed favorably by 74% of Democrats nationwide, Obama by 67%. By way of comparison, McCain is viewed favorably by 83% of Republicans.

Over the past month, McCain has gained ground in Ohio, Michigan, Minnesota, Colorado, New Hampshire, and Pennsylvania. He leads both Democrats in North Carolina, Georgia and Arkansas. Both Democrats continue to lead in New York, Massachusetts, Connecticut and California

Those are exceptionally low levels of support for Hillary and Obama considering how badly the Republican brand is doing currently. Rush's work perhaps as both sides hate each other more then they hate McCain.

And remarkably high levels of Republican support for McCain. I guess the "we hate McCain" campaign has failed. Howard Dean's Operation Chaos fizzled.

IMO... Clinton was ALWAYS the more 'electable' of the RAT candidates. Limbaugh's 'Operation-Chaos' will just put her in better shape at the convention... where she was gonna' be anyway... WITH or WITHOUT his help.

But of course this will be a BIG Democrat year, right?
I mean 11% approval is a sure sign of a big Democrat year and the lowest consumer confidence numbers in 35 years natuarlly means voters want MORE not LESS Democrat government, right?
No one can when with the numbers Barack McGovern Obama and the beast are sitting on.
Our task now is to recognize the huge advantage we have, not listen to to wishful thinking of the ratmedia and get working to help elect a conservative backbone for McCain.
The bigger the numbers he is elected with the easier it will be for him to deal with a Democrat controled Congress. As it stands now, he wins big but we still don’t get back the House or Senate. We now have to work on that.

McCain is the leading Democrat in this race.

McCain is the leading Democrat in this race.

In some ways that is correct. Obama gained his popularity as being the alternative to Clinton, who Dems knew could not win. Likewise, McCain represents an alternative to many Dems who will not be able to pull the lever for their candidate.

“McCain represents an alternative to many Dems who will not be able to pull the lever for their candidate.”

I live in a very Dem area and have heard a high number of those I know say they will vote Republican (most adding “for the first time in my life”) simply because they cannot support the Dem candidate this year. I think this may turn out to be a substantial amount and it seems to be overlooked. What does this say about the Dem party? Not much.

[BobinIL]

McCain is the leading Democrat in this race.

I agree, but now its a choice between McCain the pseuto Republican or a the marxist racist or the just plain marxist

I am NOT sitting this one out I will hold my nose and vote McCain

[HD1200]

One thing the media and lefties never get about Bush’s low approval ratings is that a lot of Conservatives rate him low because HE HAS NOT GONE MORE ON THE OFFENSIVE ON TERRORISM nor has he been as conservative as we would like him to be!

I am astonished that the liberal media interprets a low approval rating as automatically disapproving of everything the President is doing as somehow being to “conservative” and against the Nation’s wishes.

[HD1200]

Thank you and the other 4 McCain bashers here for the vote!

[HD1200]

Senator McCain in his young years, not longer before North Vietnam guards bashed his teeth out and broke his bones.

[LottieDah]

McCain may be a “democrat” but at least he still supports our troops and our missions in Iraq and Afghanisan.

[Theodore R.]

Most people still think the Republicans control Congress because GWB is in the White House. They were asleep at the switch with the 2006 elections. This low number is another way of sticking it to GWB. The people know very little about government. The average man on the street, for instance, couldn’t tell you who controls Congress or his state legislature. this is not something of interest to the American people as a whole. A lot of those saying they disapprove of Congress are still for their own friendly incumbent.

[DM1]

i am with you
i am voting for McCain and all Rs down the ballot
this crop of Dems scare the pants off me

[Malesherbes]

Obama = 52% unfavorable. We need to elevate that number.

[LS]

Actually, it’s the “I hate McCain, BUT . . . .” campaign. Always has been. There has never been an option to allow one of these nincompoop Dems to become president.
