National Polls for Hillary

The latest national polling tells the tale of a slip sliding Obama campaign and a Hillary Clinton campaign that. just. refuses. to. die. Sort of like a political John McClane, she's just hanging their on the edge but won't go over.

CNN 04/28 - 04/30 441 RV 46 45 Obama +1.0

Gallup Tracking 04/28 - 04/30 1229 V 45 49 Clinton +4.0

Rasmussen Tracking 04/27 - 04/30 900 LV 44 46 Clinton +2.0

FOX News 04/28 - 04/29 400 LV 41 44 Clinton +3.0

CBS News/NY Times 04/25 - 04/29 402 LV 46 38 Obama +8.0

NBC/WSJ 04/25 - 04/28 -- 46 43 Obama +3.0

Pew Research 04/23 - 04/27 651 RV 47 45 Obama +2.0

AP-Ipsos 04/23 - 04/27 457 A 46 43 Obama +3.0

Newsweek 04/24 - 04/25 592 RV 48 41 Obama +7.0

In the last week Obama has slid anywhere from 3-7 points based on what I'm seeing here. And I do think the trouble can be laid on a steady drumbeat of Reverend Wright plus a growing realization that the man with hope of audacity may actually have real flaws.


North Carolina is more important and even there, we still have Clinton within striking distance (5 points down) and one poll that had her evened up. Coincidentally or not, that poll was taken the day after Reverend Wright said he believed the government was capable of creating AIDS and inflicting it on us. Connected? You be the judge.


Obama needs to get his head back in the game. And whatever it is that Hillary Clinton is doing, she needs to keep it up. To the annoyance to most Democrats and the base, this means an unholy alliance between Clinton and the VRWC.
