Hillary on a roll

2008 Presidential Race, Hillary Clinton, National, Politics 1 Minute

First from Gallup:

That would be a 4% lead, outside of the +/-2% MOE for the poll.

Insider Advantage (pdf) has Hillary with a 2-point lead over Obama in NC. Rasmussen has Clinton up by 5 points in Indiana while TeleResearch pegs the margin at 10.

On the national front, the polls show Clinton to be the stronger candidate. A CBS/NY Times poll (pdf) has Clinton beating McCain by 5 points, while Obama only manages a tie. In NH, she trails McCain by 3 points, while Obama trails by 10. According to this Quinnipiac poll, Clinton tops McCain in FL (+8), OH (+10) and PA (+14). By comparison, McCain beats Obama in FL (+1), and OH (+1) while Obama wins PA but by a smaller margin (+9) than Clinton.

I want a win in November. Hillary Clinton is the candidate!

  1. “So if the polling data indicates that she is a stronger candidate in November, then I would like them to cast their vote for her.”

    Fair enough — “Don’t use your own judgement, follow the polls.”

    “[The superdelgates’] job is to get us a win in November by casting their votes for the strongest candidate.”

    Quite true. Do you think the polling data is the best determination of that, or should the superdelgates use their own judgement?

    “So it’s about trying to influence those who haven’t voted, not about trying to make the polls count more.”

    True, but when Obama was leading the polls, you were not advocating that people vote for him based on the polling data. Should he again take the lead in the polls, will you then try to influence people to vote for Obama?

  2. Mouse, you are really getting ridiculous. Part of developing judgment is looking at all the the available data, including the polls.

    How does that make any sense, Mouse? I’m a Hillary supporter. Why would I advocate for Obama?

    That would be like me being a Democrat advocating for McCain. How ludicrous does that sound?

    I’m done, Mouse. You have demonstrated that you just want to argue rather than using your brain. I’m not wasting any more time on you.

  3. “Part of developing judgment is looking at all the available data, including the polls.”

    You have it completely backward, Vivian. The polls are the RESULT of the developing judgments.

    You are using an argument to vote for Clinton that you would NOT use for Obama. That is called hypocrisy.

  4. VJP, I respectfully disagree about the “on a roll” belief.
    Give me three weeks of consistant movement and I consider that “on a roll”. While most polls are showing the same movement and it has been favorable to HRC, there is still four weeks until June- so ANYTHING can happen.

    Sorry to get “nit-picky”, I’m just going on past history- that’s all.

  6. “How does that make any sense, Mouse? I’m a Hillary supporter. Why would I advocate for Obama?

    Please tell me I’m reading this wrong?!?!?!?! I’m a STRONG Obama supporter but will advocate for Hillary when I believe she has a good point. Are you saying that as a Democrat, advocating for Obama is the same as a Dem advocating for McCain?!?!?!
    I see a HUGE difference..and just hope that after a long day, I’m missing the point 🙂
