Re: Clinton Has 0 Point Lead Over Obama (none / 0)

Those are favorability numbers, not a preference poll. Hillary leads 15-12 in the preference test. However, the momentum is certainly towards Obama and Hillary's latest equivocation on Iraq will hurt her.

The poll is amazing but (3.00 / 1)

They need to drop Gore and Clark to make it legit.

I'm with Chris Bowers (3.00 / 1)

The campaign is now underway. Somebody who doesn't even have an exploratory commitee should not be in the poll, never mind somebody who says he can't even imagine running.

And Gore's a strong 3rd. (none / 0)

Re: Clinton Has 0 Point Lead (none / 0)

This diary's title is highly misleading.  The numbers referenced here are for "would consider voting for" numbers, not "first choice" poll numbers.  That is completely different than a poll with a hard choice given.  Clinton leads Obama in the "first choice" question 27% to 21% and amongst Democrats leads Obama 68% to 59% when it comes to "would consider voting for."   I would recommend changing the false title of this diary, which makes it look like a tie in a regular "choice" poll, which is not the case at all.

Re: Clinton Has Lead Over Obama (none / 0)

Another gross misrepresentation of the facts when it comes to Hillary.  She is certainly leading Obama and when you remove Gore, her lead only increases.
