Rasmussen: Clinton Continues To Dominate Florida Primaries

[wyldwolf]

New York Senator Hillary Clinton leads Illinois Senator Barack Obama by nineteen percentage points in Florida’s Presidential Primary. The latest Rasmussen Reports telephone survey in the state found Clinton at 43%, Obama with 24% support, and Edwards the top choice for 11% of Likely Primary Voters. Six percent (6%) of voters prefer one of the other candidates while 16% are undecided.

A month ago, Clinton led 46% to 15%.

Clinton also leads all top Republican candidates in the general election race for Florida’s 27 Electoral College Votes.

The former First Lady’s formula in Florida is simple. Fifty percent (50%) of the women likely to vote in the Sunshine State Primary say they will vote for the only woman in the race. Obama manages just 18% of the female vote while Edwards reaches 12%. Among men, Obama and Clinton are virtually tied.

Obama leads among African-American voters and those under 30.

Eighty-one percent (81%) of Florida’s Primary Voters have a favorable opinion of Clinton. That includes 49% with a Very Favorable opinion. Just 18% have a negative opinion of the Senator from New York.

Obama is viewed favorably by 69%, unfavorably by 24%. Those figures include 32% with a Very Favorable opinion of the newcomer to the national scene.

For Edwards, the numbers are 65% favorable, 29% unfavorable.

Dean was able to keep his almost-30% lead over Kerry that he had one month before Iowa, and go on to win the Democratic nomination.

Right?
