New Diageo/Hotline Poll: Clinton 39, Obama 30

[illinoisprogressive]

I heard about this on CNN and thought I should post it for everyone to see. Yep. Obama is fading....right.



The Diageo/Hotline poll out today shows a big lead for that generic Democrat running for president, up 51% to 27% over the generic Republican. But the big news here is John McCain. If the Senator from Arizona drops his White House bid, the poll shows a huge proportion of his voters will flock to former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani.

The Democratic race continues to solidify as a two-way race, as Clinton and Obama both picked up significant support. Meanwhile, Fred Thompson gains double-digit support from May, putting him in a statistical tie with front-running Giuliani.

Democrats
Clinton 39 (+8 from last poll, out 5/20)
Obama 30 (+9)
Edwards 11 (+1)
Kucinich 3 (+1)
Richardson 2 (nc)
Biden 2 (+2)

1. GOBAMA!!! Fading my ASS!

[Colobo]

2. Wasn't Hillary leading by 37%?

[illinoisprogressive]

3. I love the way they underestimate him. they can keep on doing so. hubris and all

[Colobo]

4. They thought he was gonna play nice all the time. Hillary tested the waters and...

she realized the water is boiling! She got BURNED! :)

5. Obama is leading in no individual state poll

[eweaver155]

6. I do not want him to lead this early. He is right where he needs to be

he is building his base. Then he will move up after his base is built.

[Colobo]

7. Exactly.

[rinsd]

15. Not entirely true. He does lead in his home state of IL.

[Colobo]

8. Bump!

[SaveElmer]

9. How low Obama's expectations have gone...

Two months ago he was tied with Hillary in a couple polls with everyone screaming he was the new front runner...now the occasional dip into a single digit deficit fills them with paroxysm's of joy...

[Colobo]

10. We are in a good position, and you know it.

[SaveElmer]

11. Ohh...yeah ok...

Lets see down 41-23 in the latest Rasmussen, down 15 in South Carolina post-debate, ahead in no state except Illinois, and there only ahead of Hillary by 4...

Yep, right where he wants to be I'm sure!!!!

[Colobo]

19. I'm talking about this poll.

12. Obama actually once led in several national polls nt

[Ethelk2044]

14. He will do well.

[draft_mario_cuomo]

13. That seems odd. They are all gaining? So where are the gains coming from?

[rinsd]

16. Gore was included last time. This poll is worthless.

It includes Republicans who say they vote in Democratic primaries.

[Ethelk2044]

17. This poll is not Worthless. It is just not what

you want to see.

[rinsd]

18. The previous poll included Gore, this one does not. So any gains are illusionary.

It also includes Republicans who stated they vote in Democratic primaries.

You think I as a Hillary supporter would be upset with yet another poll showing Hillary closing in on 40% support with a near double digit lead on Obama?

The difference between you and I is when I discount a poll its a problem I have with the methodology and I state so. You just claim ridiculous conspiracy theories when you don't like the results.
