Rasmussen: Obama Up Way Over Clinton AGAIN

[MannyGoldstein]

The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Sunday shows Barack Obama holding an eight-point lead ever in the race for the Democratic Presidential Nomination. Obama now attracts 50% of the vote while Clinton earns 42%.

This is Obama’s second straight day with a sizable lead and support reaching 50% (see recent daily results). However, it will take several more days to determine whether this signals a shift in the race or is merely statistical noise. (see video commentary on long-term trends). Daily tracking results are updated daily at 9:30 a.m. Eastern Time. Rasmussen Markets data now give Obama a 84.8 % chance to win the Democratic nomination. Obama has opened a twenty-three percentage point lead in North Carolina. In Pennsylvania, Clinton has the lead but Obama is gaining ground.

Methinks The Clinton battleship has taken one torpedo too many. Keep an eye out for crew leaping into life rafts.

3. Well lets not take this as complete yet. Clinton may make a small comeback.

The important thing is the steady game of Obama visiting places and gaining support and just letting Clinton tear her campaign apart.

The battleship may be sinking but it threatens to ram to take other democrats with it in my view.

So its important that overall Obama continues to lead Clinton in the polls and not just national, but state polls as well.

7. The big story is electoral votes

http://www.electoral-vote.com/

It has been worried that Obama may win the popular vote and delegate counts and still be denied the nomination based upon electoral count weakness. All of that is done - Barack, Hillary, and McCain are statistically tied at the moment. Very good news, if you have followed the arguments and manuevering!

8. No one in their right mind would use the electoral vote "theory" at this

stage of the game if it were anything even remotely close. It would simply be used as a thin excuse for some SD who wanted to stay with HRC for whatever reason. There is nearly 7 months to go to the GE and a LOT can and will happen before then (like McCain shedding some skin on camera).

10. The Clinton camp has used it extensively

as a basis for the argument that not the popular vote in the primaries, and not the delegate counts should determine the nominee, but the electoral vote projections should. A matter of shifting the argument to whatever set of goal posts are convenient.

The point being - Obama and Hillary are even in the electoral vote count predictions. Such has not always been the case, but it is now.
