1. Here is what I suggest. Since you only have three threads allowed, scan DU first
The poll has been posted probably about five times. I'm not trying to be snarky, but with the new posts limits, this is basically a wasted post.

4. Nope, these are it, but these arent exactly current. The poll is from Feb 6-12
IT doesnt really take into account Obama's 8-0 streak.

2. Maybe Hillary is getting some "Help"?
Ohio Republicans pulling for Clinton to win
If she's Dems' nominee, GOP faithful think she'll unite GOP
BY HOWARD WILKINSON | HWILKINSON@ ENQUIRER.COM

One of the worst-kept secrets of the Ohio presidential primary is that Republican Party leaders have a candidate they are rooting for on the Democratic side.
Her name is Hillary Rodham Clinton; and they believe that if she wins the Ohio primary and goes on to become the Democratic nominee, she will be the one who unites their dispirited and divided party and gives them their best chance of keeping the White House this fall.
It is a belief that the Clinton campaign says is wrong; and they will campaign across the state for the next three weeks making the argument that their battle-tested, experienced candidate is the only one who can go toe-to-toe with John McCain, the presumptive GOP nominee.

'HIGH NEGATIVES'
To hear Republicans tell it, they're rooting for Clinton.
"There is no doubt about it," said John Becker, a Clermont County Republican who represents much of southern Ohio on the Ohio Republican Party Central Committee. "There is nobody who can consolidate and energize the Republican Party like Hillary Clinton. It will get the people out and the money will flow."
Part of it is that Clinton has what pollsters call "high negatives."
A USA Today poll this month showed that as many Americans had an unfavorable view of Clinton - 49 percent - as a favorable view (48 percent). The same poll showed Barack Obama's unfavorable rating at 34 percent, and his favorable rating at 58 percent. The Feb. 8-10 poll of 1,016 adults nationwide has a margin of error of 3 percentage points.

6. My gut tells me the negatives are higher for Hillary than Barrack
Perhaps this poll provides a baseline, and as I see it Barrack could only go up as we move into next week

Then again I have a bias for Obama
