CBS News Poll: Hillary 51%, Obama 23%, Edwards 13%
http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2007/10/25/opinion/polls/main3411229.shtml

(CBS) Sen. Hillary Clinton has widened her lead in the race for the Democratic Party's presidential nomination, according to the latest CBS News poll of Democratic primary voters. But more than one third of voters overall say they would definitely not vote for the former first lady.

In a hypothetical three-way contest, 51 percent of Democratic primary voters choose Clinton as the nominee. That's the highest percentage since CBS News started asking the question in the spring and an increase of seven points from September. Twenty-three percent back Sen. Barack Obama, while 13 percent support former Sen. John Edwards.

Sixty-four percent of Clinton's supporters say they "strongly favor" the former first lady, while 26 percent say they support her with reservations. Obama is strongly favored by 47 percent of his supporters, while 43 percent support the candidate with reservations.

If Clinton becomes the Democratic nominee, more than 70 percent of Democrats say they will consider voting for her or definitely vote for her for president. Only 6 percent of Democrats say they would not vote for her.

2. Rasmussen has her at 46%. That is about where she is, not 51%.
Any poll that has her at 50% or more is highly suspect. Too much opposition to Hillary in the Democratic Party.

4. Argument from personal incredulity was not covered in Statistics.
Must have missed that one.
