1. the more people see her, the more the like her

This may sound like an old cliche, but at least for now, the only person who can beat Hillary is Hillary.

[rinsd]

10. Her numbers have been trending up in head to heads (nt)

[Larkspur]

13. Hasn't worked for me

And if she really had charisma she would be leading by 50% by now. People are only seeing soundbites of her and what the corporate controlled media want people to see of her. The corporate robber barons will back Hillary because she is Repuke-lite and they can manipulate her like they do Republicans.

[MGKrebs]

15. You may be right, but if you are, any candidate that can't manage

their media will lose, right? I just don't get this constant complaining about the media. It is what it is. It's almost certainly too late to change anything at this point, and any candidate worth a $50 contribution knew the deal when they threw their hat in. If you or anybody else wants to change the way the media works, then there are surely better avenues to pursue than complaining about it in
every thread here that contains a poll result.

Manage media interests = success

Ignore media interests = lose

27. Agree!!!!

[churchofreality]

28. I can't wait for her to debate Rudy!

That goddamn lisp of his is going to sound ridiculous, and she will be sensational!

[Tellurian]

2. YAY! Go Hillary!

[Alamom]

3. Great News ! Thanks for posting. eom

[Skip Intro]

4. I think she will be the nominee if Gore doesn't get it

do we win with a Hillary/? ticket?


dunno...

[jsamuel]

5. every time I hear this "Hillary does best against Repubs", they didn't poll with Edwards

[SaveElmer]

6. I guess...

Unless Edwards starts showing better in the Dem primary polls they aren't gonna include him...

[jsamuel]

7. he has the same poll numbers as gore without gore in the race

and gore isn't running, but they polled for him

[SaveElmer]

8. Yep...

I don't think Gore should be included in these polls either...

[jsamuel]

9. nm

[Divine Discontent]

17. they didn't poll with Edwards?

ya know, this is ridiculous... he's polling double digits and less than 5 behind Obama, but not only that, he has large mainstream support from unions, southern, and many who are poor look up to him.

11. Had the strangest notion of John McCain in a debate format against

our nominee and Michael Bloomberg.

In this scenario I have Bloomberg crushing McCain's points, one by one, almost effortlessly, and McCain collapsing in despair onto the stage floor.

The audience is stunned and hushed, and finally a couple of paramedics come out with various gear and scrape McCain off the floor and onto a stretcher. They carry him out to the waiting vehicle, slide him in and drive off.

No one ever hears from him again.

16. Forgive me, but I just don't see it ... not in my part of Virginia.

:shrug:

[SaveElmer]

18. Certainly see it in my part...nt

:applause:

19. Just another State she is kicking ass in.

You go girl!

[fujiyama]

20. I've been critical of Hillary

but I'll give her credit.

She's one hell of a politician.

I won't vote for her in the primaries. And I still think she'll have a tougher time in the general election than many other candidates. I also don't like her view on several issues.

But the last thing I want is to see McCain, Giuliani, or Thompson be president. The polls showing her improving in head-to-head matchups is good news regardless (and Hillary is like my fourth or fifth choice). It's nice to see two heroes (as declared by the media - well one did show courage at one point), and a "dumb as hell" actor get beat by Hillary in a poll.

[jgraz]

21. Now let's include the 2.6 margin of error

Clinton vs Guiliani: tie;
Clinton vs McCain: tie;
Clinton vs Thompson: Clinton;

Obama vs Giuliani: tie;
Obama vs McCain: Obama;
Obama vs Thompson: Obama;

Gore vs Giuliani: tie;
Gore vs McCain: tie;
Gore vs Thompson: Gore;

So, everyone ties with Rudy, everyone beats Thompson and only Obama beats McCain. Not so much of a win for Hill...


And they didn't poll Edwards, AND...the primaries are WHEN?

[draft_mario_cuomo]

22. Edwards only 4 points out of 2nd place

Not bad for a candidate some are claiming is now a "second-tier" candidate. :bounce:

[calteacherguy]

23. It's appearing more and more as if there is only one candidate in the first tier. nt

[draft_mario_cuomo]

25. Perhaps but that is unlikely to last. An alternative will inevitably emerge

I think Edwards, Obama, and Richardson are in a playoff to determine who will face HRC in the championship round.

[draft_mario_cuomo]

24. Context: previous Ohio polls from Quinnipiac

The general trend is that HRC and JE have held steady while Obama gradually fell from 22% (the first number for him after he began running) to 12%. However, he has recovered half of that loss in the latest poll.

Jan 23-28, 2007

Hillary Clinton 38%
Barack Obama 13%
John Edwards 11%

Mar 13-19, 2007

Hillary Clinton 32%
Barack Obama 22%
John Edwards 11%

May 8-13, 2007

Hillary Clinton 38%
Barack Obama 19%
John Edwards 11%

June 18-25, 2007

Hillary Clinton 40%
Barack Obama 12%
John Edwards 12%

26. "Does best against Republicans"? The poll is only of Hil and Obama vs Republicans.
