Rasmussen's Daily Tracking Poll indicates Edwards support goes to Obama
more than Clinton.

Daily tracking results are collected via nightly telephone surveys and reported on a four-day rolling average basis. The last two nights of tracking were the first without John Edwards in the race. For those two nights, it’s Clinton 44% and Obama 42% meaning that Clinton’s support is essentially unchanged. This suggests that many former Edwards supporters now support Obama, many others have yet to make a decision, and few currently support Clinton.

3. The first thing on the site shows Hillary up by 6%
Friday, February 01, 2008
Advertisment
The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Friday shows Barack Obama inching closer to Hillary Clinton in the race for the Democratic Presidential Nomination. It’s now Clinton 43%, Obama 37%

You ALSO left out this part! HOW ODD!

Two day results are based upon a relatively small sample of 476 Likely Democratic Primary Voters and should be interpreted with caution. The next Presidential Tracking Poll update is scheduled for Saturday at 11:00 a.m. Sunday will be the first update based completely upon interviews since Edwards left the race

8. It is a tracking poll
so the polls are averaged over several days.

As for the margin of error, you can go ahead and think I was trying to pull the wool over everyone's eyes even though I posted the link. Anyone who doesn't know that these polls can have large margins of error, and the end results can be rather differrent (NH), is an idiot.

5. Obama was my third choice
He is now my first. HRC/Gravel/Richardson were always my last choices.

12. No thanks.
I do not want Hillary to be our nominee, and Obama has the best chance of beating her. John Edwards isn't trying to be President anymore, and I don't want to vote for someone who isn't trying to be President.

11. of course it does. Just as with everything else,
if we listen to the MSM, and expect the opposite, we will be more right than wrong.
