1. K&R

[Tellurian]

2. Yes, pretty obvious we stand a better chance with Hillary as the Nom against the Repuglies..

[BenDavid]

4. Tell, I agree and HRC has said so in many of her speeches,

and I agree.There is a post here about HRC giving a speech at a gathering over the weekend and saying she can beat any of the republicans.

[Tellurian]

40. Yes, Hillary is a realist unlike some who "talk" a good game but cannot deliver..

cannot even consistently deliver the salient points of his platform.

Oy vey! :-)

[Cameron27]

44. Yep,

I think Hillary has the best chance in the GE, Biden second if he makes it.

[ilovesunshine]

3. Oh comeon! These numbers must be fixed!

You mean, Hillary actually has a snowballs chance in hell of winning this for us?

[ronnykmarshall]

5. Of course they are

:eyes: :sarcasm:

Oh and welcome to HillaryBashUnderground ..... I mean DU.

[ilovesunshine]

8. Thanks Ronny!

[sufrommich]

7. Once again,fact slaps the face of popular DU fiction.nt

[William769]

6. K&R!

[jemsan]

10. Don't they put Edwards in the polls anymore?????

Just another way to marginalize and ignore Edwards.....don'dt even poll for him.

[asdjrocky]

9. Wow,

It would be cool if Gallup thought there was more than two Dems in this race. It's great what money can buy in America.


My pick.

[Tellurian]

20. Clinton Sustains Huge Lead in Democratic Nomination Race..

November 16, 2007

Hopefully, Iowans will understand the race is Nationwide is the important race..

Leads Obama by 27 points in new poll

PRINCETON , NJ -- In the national standings of the Democratic presidential candidates seeking their party's nomination next year, New York Sen. Hillary Clinton continues to hold a strong 27-point lead over second-place rival Illinois Sen. Barack Obama, according to a new Gallup Poll. Former North Carolina Sen. John Edwards remains further behind in third place.

According to the Nov. 11-14, 2007, poll, 48% of Democrats say they are most likely to support Clinton for the party’s presidential nomination in 2008, followed by Obama at 21% and Edwards at 12%. No other candidate garners more than 4% support.

[bowens43]

11. Of course she does,

She's much closer to the republicans positions then Obama. It's easier for right leaning independents to say they'll vote for Hillary.

[wyldwolf]

12. "She's much closer to the republicans positions then Obama." Nah

They're almost identical.

[Imagevision]

29. "Nah"?!? --> "They're almost identical" - ask any other selective reader, they too will agree...

[wyldwolf]

32. would you like to compare them issue by issue?

[ilovesunshine]

13. I agree, and that's what will win Hillary the race.

Even though many don't support the war now, they did when they were lied to by President Bush.

[sufrommich]

15. Was Obamas' appearance on the 700 club

an attempt to court left leaning independents?

[TwilightZone]

16. That's quite the leap of logic.

How about left-leaning independents? Are they voting for Obama?

Your assertion seems to be based on the presumption that there are more right-leaning independents than left-leaning ones. Have any proof of that?

[Tellurian]

14. IIRC...we don't have to join any "kingdoms or be prayerful to choose ."

or diss the GLBT community..Or be sh*t outta Luck because we are Baby Boomers..

What a relief. We have a candidate, Sen Clinton, with brilliant problem solving skills who is able to represent everyone!

And to boot- she can beat every Republican challenger in the GE...How fortuitous is that?

Bravo!

[AndyTiedye]

21. It is Still Close Enough for the Repiggies to Steal It

and the Mighty Slime Machine has been going easy on HRC lately
(because their owners want HRC to win the Dem nomination).

Why is it so close?

People say they want "a Democrat" to be the next president by double-digit margins.
Seems like they still don't like Hillary Clinton very much.

[Tellurian]

35. Andy.. FYI..Hillary hasn't even begun to take on the Repuglies

Again, Andy, FYI..the Republican attack machine is afraid of a Hillary Clinton nomination, because they know she is dealing from strength. During the WH years it was defend, defend, defend. Hillary is now the moving party. That, my friend is a horse of another color.

Hillary is the strongest "DEMocrat" by far in the Race. Obama has to answer questions soon put forth by the FEC that could invariably call into question the rule breaking of campaign finance laws reflecting badly on him. Edwards has a scum-bucket Senate Record that has not been called into question yet nor been used against him in the race.

Neither of the later two candidates pass the "sniff" test for the "honesty and integrity" requirements of a Primary States' Caucus.

[AndyTiedye]

37. She Is Going to Take on the Repiggies How?

[Tellurian]

39. She's been taking them on for over 20 yrs.

How? Wait and see.

[CyberPieHole]

17. K & R n/t

:kick:

[w4rma]

18. New poll shows Clinton trails top 2008 Republicans

Nominating her will be like choosing a ringer.

19. Good links!

Thanks!

[wyldwolf]

23. Zogby's is an online poll

[Lucinda]

24. Online poll

[SaveElmer]

25. An online poll?...

:rofl:

[TwilightZone]

28. Did anyone mention that this was an online poll?

[Kurt_and_Hunter]

41. No, I would have heard something about it. if it was an online poll

[Tarc]

30. Please stop lying

The Zogby poll is not a random sampling, it is made up of people who choose to participate in an online survey. It has no statistical relevance.

[cali]

54. It's self-selecting and comprised completely of those who

who use a computer. The demographic group least likely to use a computer? Older women. The demographic group most likely to vote? Older women. Do you see the problem now, or are you just going to ignore my post?

[flyarm]

55. and phone polls use demographics that ignore the youth who don't use land lines!

they use cell phones , computers and blackberries..but many many do not use land lines.

i know my son and none of his friends use land lines..neither do all my friends 20+ age kids.

fly

[cali]

56. OK, but young people are far less likely to vote than

older women. All polls are fraught with various pitfalls, but internet polls have more of them.

[flyarm]

57. ahhh the youth voted in record numbers in 2004..that is a false assumption on your part.eom

[cali]

58. no, it's not, not even remotely.

yes, youth voted in record numbers in 2004. Did they vote in the same numbers as older women? Not. Even. Close.

36. w4rma.. did you know it was an online poll?

:rofl:

[wyldwolf]

22. kick

[Quixote1818]

26. Too bad she is falling behind in Iowa and New Hampshire where they really know her. nt

[SaveElmer]

27. SHow me a single poll where she has fallen behind in New Hampshire...nt

[flvegan]

31. Am I reading that wrong, or is that data two weeks old?

[Alamom]

33. 12 days & Gallup usually releases one a month....This is for November.

The poll of 897 registered voters nationwide was conducted Nov. 11-14, 2007.

[emilyg]

34. So sweet!!!

[Kurt_and_Hunter]

38. So what? Obama used to lead Guiliani in the same poll.

In July the Gallup match-up had Obama ahead of Rudy by five points, and today it's zero points.

So Obama only dropped five measly points! Big whoop.

In the same poll, in July Hillary led Rudy by 4 points and now she leads him by 5 points. So Hillaty's lead over Giuliani only went up one point.

Ooooh! One whole point. Am I supposed to be impressed by that?

You Hillarybots are pathetic... all you care about is winning the general election. Get over it.

[Auntie Bush]

42. And what election might you care about winning?

PS It doesn't do much good to win the primary if you can't win the GE.

[Cameron27]

43. This is surprising coming from you:

"You Hillarybots are pathetic." I didn't think you were part of the name calling crowd.

[Kurt_and_Hunter]

45. Seasoned Blue, you may have noticed that I do not believe in sarcasm tags

The sarcasm tag defeats the whole purpose of sarcasm, IMHO... sarcasm without ambiguity is merely snide.

I was just saving the most chronic poll-detractors a few key-strokes.

[Cameron27]

48. Sorry Kurt

I should have known lol. :thumbsup:

[jillan]

46. According to Rasmussen - Biden ties with Rudy and Mitt.

:)!

[Mutineer]

47. If HRC is the nominee, we will NOT win the GE in November '08

There. I said it.

[Josiah1982]

49. She is the ONLY candidate running who can win in the general election

There. I said that.:silly:

[Godhumor]

50. Along with lots of others on DU

One way or another, there is going to be a lot of anger and teasing when our candidate is decided.

This place is going to be like an online bloodbath.

[Azathoth]

51. Gee, Obama's numbers are 2-4 points behind Hillary's 12 months before the election

:boring:

[wiley]

52. Support the writer's on strike!

[avrdream]

53. But this truth will never make it to the front page of DU.

Twilight zone these days.

Nobody seems happy about Democratic successes.

Thanks for trying.

[oasis]

59. kick

[Phunktified]

60. The problem is...

Gallup in 2006 effectively ended their partnership with CNN (although they still occasionally partner). So a lot of their polling goes under the radar without a major media outlet to back it up. The truth is their tracking poll and state polls have always been whacky but they are an organization with a long history and they poll frequently (unlike ABC/WaPo) so at least there's some points of comparison.
