Rasmussen: Clinton 45% (+2), Obama 23% (-1)

[wyldwolf]

The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Friday shows little change in the race for the Democratic Presidential Nomination. New York Senator Hillary Clinton attracts 45% of the vote from Likely Democratic Primary Voters. Barack Obama is the top choice for 23% while John Edwards attracts 13% (see recent daily numbers). New Mexico Governor Bill Richardson, Delaware Senator Joe Biden, and Ohio Congressman Dennis Kucinich each are the preferred choice for 3%.

1. time to thin the herd and focus on the top three

Too bad. I'd like to have seen someone else besides the top three rise and and make a serious run.

2. Clinton lags behind both Obama, Edwards among the important, unaffiliated voters on electability

The picture looks much different, however, among unaffiliated voters. Among this important segment of the voting population, 50% say Obama is at least somewhat likely to win if nominated. Forty-eight percent (48%) say the same about Edwards and just 42% see a Clinton victory as Somewhat or Very Likely.

3. Let's hope we Dems are smart enough to think about actual "winning"...

when settling on our nominee. If we do, it's obvious *she's* likely not the answer.

4. EXCEPT she's ahead with ALL voters, a figure that factors in "unaffiliated voters."

When the question is asked of all voters, not just Democrats, a similar pattern emerges. If nominated, Clinton is considered at least somewhat likely to win by 53% of all voters. Fifty-four percent (54%) say the same about Edwards and 55% about Obama. However, 24% of all voters say that if Clinton is nominated, she is Very Likely to win it all. Just 17% say that Obama is Very Likely to win the White House while 16% say a victory in November is Very Likely for Edwards.

7. So Wyldwolf, I shouldn't vote

since your constant posting of the polls gives me reason to stay home now that she's up by 125 percentage points?
