Breaking: Obama leads Clinton by 2 in latest Massachusetts poll
Edited on Mon Feb-04-08 12:37 PM by NJSecularist
http://www.suffolk.edu/26798.html

Barack Obama (46 percent) leads Hillary Clinton (44 percent) by a razor-thin margin among likely Democratic voters, according to a poll released today by 7NEWS/Suffolk University. Seven percent of Democratic and independent voters were undecided. However, 27 percent of Democratic voters and 24 percent of Republican voters say they may change their minds before tomorrow.

Obama was strong among men (49 percent-to-30 percent), independents (43 percent-to-35 percent), in Middlesex & Essex counties (46 percent-to-36 percent) and among voters ages 18-45 years (55 percent-to-31 percent). Clinton’s areas of strength contrasted sharply with Obama’s: She led among women (52 percent-to-35 percent), in the Worcester/West area (52 percent-to-34 percent) and among voters ages 66 years and up (59 percent-to-26 percent).

2. wow, this is going to be close
Massachusetts will be close because of the Kennedy endrosement Obama got, he was losing big before that.

3. Hillary's indirect slur against the Patriots won't garner her any favor there.
She's sinking. No wonder she's emotional. I almost feel sorry for her, but not this time.

15. She wasn't rooting for her "home" team, she made a lousy comment after the Patriots lost.
Anyway, it is playing badly in Massachusetts.

19. Barack will win Massachusetts. I think that''s why we are seeing Hillary become emotional.
I don't hold it against her that she cried again on the eve of yet another important contest. The numbers have been tidal against her now since South Carolina. It's got to take a toll.

9. Gimme a break. Hillary BETTER be coming out for the Giants, or..
She would look silly. I can't imagine anyone caring about which football team she likes, especially if its her home team.

4. That is news... her lead was so big on the one hand but the Kerry
and Kennedy and Patrick endorsements figured to count for something. We'll see how it goes. Grain of salt as with all single polls

5. If the Democratic primary is 59% women or more, she'll win it
If less than 59% of the vote in Massachusetts is female, she probably loses it.

27. I do too, even if I would prefer that Obama wins.
Edited on Mon Feb-04-08 01:14 PM by Mass
However, it will be a lot closer than expected. I am sure she did not expect to have to come back today.

24. We are rejoicing because if Obama wins, that won't happen.
Now, if Hillary wins...
