Yes, and we all know how accurate polls can be – like the one that said Obama was ahead in New Hampshire....
cnn is helping Obama in damage control.
This is scary.
How could any American like the idea that this man has ties with a radical minister and has lied about a criminal involvement with Rezko in Chicago.
What is wrong with America?
I agree with the first comment.
As an indendent, Obama gets my vote. I truly, I like many others, could never vote for Hillary. Period.
Breaking news:
According to Ramussen poll 56% of voters are less likely to vote for OBama because of his pastor comments
Is this a Jack Cafferty poll?
Obama Yes we can we are ready for a change, we don't need Bush Clinton Bush Clinton we stand for change .
Yes we can and the change is coming soon.
Obama 08
Can't wait to hear what Obama has to say tomorrow. I'm sure he will come up with some more lies for all the Obama idiots to believe. WAKE UP AMERICA
and yet you show another biased poll up on the headline of your site that is true in your poll and not the others. thanks cnn for more biases
I can tell you this, if Hillary gets the nominee I will be sitting this election out.
If Hillary had gotten to count Florida- she would be in the lead
What polls are you people reading??? They ALL say OBAMA is still in the lead!!!! You're dreaming if you think Clinton can win this.
The majority of the Dems have spoken...Listen up!!!
It's painfully clear, Hillary needs to condede!!!
Barack Obama is the people's choice!!!
POLLS ARE WRONG, CNN. I will not vote for Obama if he is elected the Democratic candidate for President.
You were blinded by George Bush, the good ole boy personality, and NOW look at the economy.
Obama's lack of maturity and his appealing innocence will be this country's downfall.
His supporters are too swallow minded to see his attraction to people who use him. Rezko and Rev. Wright.
WE NEED A MATURE PRESIDENT.
Hillary is willing to destroy the Democrat's chances in November just to appease her personal desires.If she really wants to do good work the senate is a great place to be. This Bush-Clinton-Bush Thing has to stop! That is not a democracy. The Clinton Administration was one scandal after another do we need that again with all the problems that Bush and the republicans have created? Obama is the only logical choice, just give him a chance open your mind and actually listen to what him and his wife are saying or read his books. He is the real deal. He is our best hope to fix this mess.
I repeat – Bull
CNN you are bias!!!!!!
I will vote for McCain if CNN steals the nominee for Hillary
Hillary, show us your tax returns.
It's funny! People are saying that Hillary needs to drop out because the party is dividing....why aren't anyone telling Obama to drop out? Neither of them can win the number of delegates needed to secure the nomination. Obama needs over 400 and there are only 9 states left. He could drop out for the sake of the party. I guess it comes down to a game of chicken.
For those do not know, God says "not weapon formed against you will ever prosper”, it may happen but will not prosper.
My Question is.........How many of the Hillary Democrats are going to be voting for McCain or worse yet....Nader if she loses to Obama??? I know at least 4 out of 5 of the Dems in my family that will vote for someone else or no one at all if Obama wins the Democratic selection!!! After all, if he can't when the Big States in his own party.....how is he ever going to win them against the Repuplicans??
I have seen the most mean spirited comments from people supporting all the candidates. It seems that we expect our candidates to be perfect when we clearly are not......
Yes! OBAMA! I will be so upset if Clinton is the nominee for the Democrats...Obama stands for change and will rebuild our nation's image abroad! Clinton is tearing apart the party and doing everything she can to win. She is playing such a nasty game of politics and I would have a very hard time voting for her! We need Obama in office to restore confidence and hope in our president!
Really??? Got Rasmussen? Got Gallup?
i am no longer supporting obama.
