http://rasmussenreports.com/public_content/politics/election_20082/2008_presidential_election/wisconsin/wisconsin_democratic_presidential_primary This telephone survey of 855 Likely Democratic Primary Voters was conducted by Rasmussen Reports February 13, 2008. The margin of sampling error for the survey is +/- 4 percentage points with a 95% level of confidence.
The Democratic Presidential Primary in Wisconsin may be the most competitive contest between Senators Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton since Super Tuesday.
The latest Rasmussen Reports telephone survey shows Obama with a narrow four-point advantage over Clinton, 47% to 43%. Nearly one-fourth of the voters say there’s a good chance they might change their mind. Five percent (5%) of those who currently support Obama and Clinton say there’s a good chance they could change their mind before voting.
Clinton leads by ten points among women but trails by twenty-three points among men. Clinton leads among voters over 65 while Obama has the edge among younger voters.
A strong showing by Clinton would be a welcome dose of good news for her campaign. …

Issue date: 2/14/08 Section: News
…..Though the questions covered a wide array of topics, from global overpopulation; Native American rights and health care, the war in Iraq; education and the economy were key policy initiatives Clinton came back to.
Clinton, who never referred to her parents by their names, but rather mom and dad, spoke fluently about her mother's platform, and only couldn't answer one of the roughly two-dozen questions.
…..
Clinton also touted that her mother would end the war in Iraq by bringing the troops home, stabilizing the country as troops are withdrawn and by having a strong diplomatic presence in the Middle East that will help with the rebuilding of Iraq as well as improve relations with other Middle Eastern states. Along with bringing troops home, she said Sen. Clinton would end no-bid contracts, such as that of mercenary groups such as Blackwater, which she said would cost less and improve security in the region, along with ending torture techniques, such as the recent controversial method of waterboarding allegedly used by Central Intelligence Agency investigators on suspected terrorists.
She also said that a part of ending the war in Iraq is improving care for veterans when they return home, including making sure they are compensated and receive the bonuses promised to them when they signed on to serve.
Fiscal responsibility was another reoccurring theme in the hour-long question-and-answer session, with Clinton saying that her mother is the most fiscally responsible candidate among those running for a presidential nomination from both parties, adding that she has a plan to pay for everything.
The former first daughter also said her mother's record on the economy, along with being fiscally responsible, would foster a stronger economy as well as make her the strongest candidate against Republican front-runner Sen. John McCain in the November general election, should the pair get the nominations.
"My mom has the strongest candidacy and she will win in November against McCain," she said.
Other topics Clinton hit were governmental universal health care, greening all federal buildings and investing in renewable energy sources to combat global warming, improving national security by keeping the Patriot Act and ending Bush's No Child Left Behind plan for education.
