This poll is good news for Clinton
WV Dem poll, Clinton up by 28
by Jerome Armstrong, Thu Mar 20, 2008 at 10:56:02 AM EST

The first poll out of WV for the nomination, Rasmussen shows Clinton with a 55-27 percent lead over Obama. The primary is not until May 13th. This is the second poll I've seen recently that shows the "Economy/Jobs" issue going over 50 percent as the number one problem to solve. Here's some more:
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.

Rasmussen has more on the state of the contest today.

2. I just love polls that talk about the Democrats who will vote for McCain.
Anyone now supporting either Clinton or Obama who ends up voting for McCain is a fool. Complete and total fools who ought to be ashamed of themselves. Isn't 4,000 dead soldiers and a million dead Iraqis enough for them?

5. This will be resolved in due time.
There's a real debate going on and passions are heated. Nothing to fear. We're not zombies like the rightists.

7. I know of a couple of Dems who say they won't vote for Obama.
and that was before this Wright controversy. They tend to be sort of conservative.

On the other hand, I had run into a lifelong Rep. who said he was voting for Obama - that was BEFORE the Wright controversy, however. His wife was sort of leaning Clinton. It is a crazy political landscape.
