Clinton will never beat Mccain, too many people dislike her (me for instance). Go Obama!

Jeremiah 20:7-13
For the uninformed. One thing I know for sure, I will not be taken for granted by the Democtratic Party. The Clinton sect, has turned me off. If Obama is not the Democratic standard bearer, I will vote for local Democrats but not for her as President. If the Super Delegates vote for Clinton, then I will encourage my friends to serious look at a third party for relief. If the Demo's don't want my kind of politics, they don't want me.

How about discussing the poll from last week Thursday or Friday from an Indiana group that indicated Obama would beat McCain by 8 points. Hillary was in a statistical tie with McCain. There are two polls within a span of two days that have two different outcomes. Try to be fair cnn. Obama can use that poll to show he is electable. Lets have accurate and fair reporting.

I will NEVER vote for a Clinton again in my life. They are liars and cheats. I did that twice and all it did was make them rich and the American people worse. I love my party but I will stay home before I would vote for Clinton or McCain.

Who here is surprised that the media focuses on one poll or another to keep the drama and ratings going for this close primary? The same thing happended with PA polls last week. If I were a media exec, I might be tempted to play that game. I'm not mad, they need to make a living too. I just think we have a responsibility as consumers of media to think critically about the stories and polls we see. Fortunately, many people realize that polls can vary based on a lot of factors. These people take time to cross-reference with other sources to get the complete picture. Unfortunately, there are too many people that believe the media, and rhetoric from political candidates for that matter, without further thought or investigation. That's what scares me about the upcoming general election.

Yes, that's if the election were held TODAY. After much negative campaigning by Billary, many people are naturally going to be moving toward McCain. Wait until Obama is the Dem nominee and then see the double-digit advantage he will have over McCain. McCain's age and radical GOP policies are showing. Obama is the ONLY one who represents true CHANGE. Nobody can argue against this fact. When Billary are finally out of the picture, all Democrats will have more hope. I know it's audacious, but there actually is a better, more optimistic, option than Hillary Rodham Clinton. And it's not McCain.

TIME TO DROP OUT HILLARY…YOU SAID PENN. WAS A PERSONAL VICTORY, BUT THIS IS NOT ABOUT YOU…THIS IS ABOUT US…THE CITIZENS OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA!!! I AM HAPPY THAT ONE POLITICIAN IN MY LIFETIME, BARACK OBAMA, GETS THAT!!!!!!!!!!!

You go girl you always had my vote.

Polls don't matter. The math, the numbers matter. Do the math, she can't win!!!

Pack your Flat Bed and head home….Hill-Billy!

I think whomever you are polling are in error. I believe the Republicans are putting this out there because they KNOW they cannot beat Obama, but that, with all the baggage the Clintons have, and the horrible things that they have been accused of, the finance, whitewater, etc., that they feel that, when they bring all this dirt out again on the Clintons that McCain will have a better chance of beating her. The problem is that the Clintons don't see this and truly as they continue to divide the party, the Democrats will not be able to do much with the Republicans. No matter what they say, this party will never be united, and will lose this chance to take the White House back. The Clintons do not care. Obama does not need to debate her again, folk are tired. Obama has had to hold himself because she is a woman, and can't really say a lot of things out of respect, so if he debates her again, expecially without a moderator, she will never let him finish a sentence, therefore, cutting across him and making it seem as though he is incompetent.

Mike - Texas April 28th, 2008 2:12 pm ET

That's not news, we've known that for a long time.

Hillary actually has some substance behind her proposals and all OBama has is a lot of hot air about "hope" and "change" but no substance on how that is going to happen.

Change for change's sake is NEVER good.

I'm with you Mike, saw him on FOX last night and he had ZERO solutions just wants to listen to the voters; nobody in Washington listens.

CNN trying to turn the tide!!!! Shame on you journalists!!!!

Tell me something I didn't know……Clinton would by far be the best person to lead this country to a new start. She's right….change is something that just doesn't happen (like Obama thinks)….it takes hard work and years of dedication. Obama is naive.

This is completely irresponsible. Everyone but everyone is following Real Clear Politics this year, which averages out the polls and in which Obama has been faring better than Clinton against McCain for months. Today this one new poll (which looks like an outlier) has thrown that off slightly and for the first time. I am astounded that CNN is reporting it the way it is. Obama remains the front-runner and will more than likely both win the nomination and beat McCain. Why in the world did CNN run this story?

I am a woman, I am black. I support Obama.
If Hillary gets the nomination I will have NO problem voting for her.
She has proved throughout this campaign that she will be a strong leader.

She's not beating anyone in any election if the Paul vs Clinton business is actually addressed by the media! All she's going to try to beat is a rap! Beat the rap, Hillary…

She's a scamming fraud.

thank you!
thank you!
thank you!

Let me ask everybody a real question. Do you think Obama can win the white vote in the general election? Answer- NO!!!! Do you think Obama can win the over 60 vote?(which is over 45% of the voters) Answer- NO!!!!!- Obama has 2 real segments- Voters under 30 which make up only 13 percent of the vote and Black people-(they only make up 12 percent of the general population) These are all facts people. He has no shot to win the general election. None what so ever!!!!!!!!!

This is irresponsible reporting to completely ignore the fact that Obama leads Clinton in several other general election polls, i.e. Rasmussen, Gallup, etc.

come on-these polls are a joke.
with one poll all the hillarious supporters think she can win when mathematicaly she just can't catch up.
this is why the rest of the world laughs it up at us.
i guess it doesn't matter that obama has won more states and delegates? you guys are hysterical.
now-i'm for mccain,and i can tell you that we would rather face hillarious because she's got much more dirt on her than obama.
we will trounce hillary in the general.
wow-one poll and all the hill fans think they can win.
makes my day.

The only way Sen Clinton or Sen Obama will be able to win against Sen McCain if people will stop seperating the Democratic party.

What can the Democrats do? Stop saying if Clinton win, they will vote for McCain, and the same if Obama wins.

This will be the only way we will Democrats will win the White House.

did you poll anyone under 25? How about African Americans? This is more disillusioning then when Bush won in 2004. One of these days I really am going to have to leave behind this stupid, stupid population of morons.

Anyone BUT Clintons!

that's because the Republicans are not bringing up

Hillary's baggage yet

the moment she get's the nomination

travelgate

emails about her having Vince Foster killed will start up

impeachment

almost being indicted in travelgate

intimidating Bill Clinton's woman ' Bimbo Erruptions' etc

her Cattle trading

for new scandals they will go at the Library and the 500mm to the Clinton Global initiative

they are holding their fire because that would threaten to end this sooner

believe me the Republicans need Hillary to fire them up

they hate her

Obama has never attacked them for their belief's or Ideas

but merely disagreeed

Isn't it more important who wins rather than by how much.
"Got Change" , get Obama.

Please make me believe that she jumped that far out in head of John McCain over the weekend . Bull$h!+.

every poll has been wrong so far
so …..i'll take this one with a grain of salt.

Cant make a decision based on a poll taken 6 months before the election..McCain could kick the bucket between now and then.

If HIllary steals the nomination then you people are screwed.

These polls have been all over the place. RCP's average of all polls (including this one) has Clinton ahead of McCain by 3 and Obama ahead of McCain by 1.5. They mean nothing.

What do polls mean when they don´t capture the vote of many people only a few and Hillary HAS NO CHANCE OF WINNING OVER OBAMA sorry for the losers who thinks that the Clintons are a DYNASTY. GO OBAMA 08

I am an Obama supporter and do not believe any polls that can believe Hillary can beat John McCain. Unbelievable that people are even considering another Republican to office after the eight years of the current administration, paying $14 for 20 lbs of rice and $3.81 per gallon of unleaded gas. People wake up…vote Obama.

The polls show the upswing of her PA victory. It is only April. After May 6, you will see a decline.

Lets be real for a moment. I hear solutions of America. I hear I will fight for you. I hear I am not a quiter. Why don't we have universal health care? The fighter with solutions did not get it done.

She is doing well by dividing the Democratic party. Blue Collar vs African Americans. Poor vs Elite. You need them all to win. She has set herself up for failure because her enemies are waiting. They want another shot at Clinton.

As a life-long liberal democrat, who has voted for the democrat nominee in every election for several decades, if Billary gets the nod by the party, I WILL NOT VOTE this time around and McBush will win the election. I guarantee it. If Obama gets the nod, I will not only vote, I will donate time and money to his campaign and he will win. I guarantee that, too.

We want neither a third Bush term nor a third Clinton term…

Where are they getting these numbers absolutly nobody I work with or any of my friends say they will vote for Hillary. And very few of the Republicans I know are even going to vote for McCain.

I wonder who asked for/paid for these polls. This is the first poll, in months, that has shown her above Obama against McCain, and she's above by 9 points? I would seriously want to see the methodology that the AP and Ipsos used, as well as whether AP reporters have given to the Clinton campaign recently. Special Interests in the Press? Naaah, that would never happen.

not to mention that she is in the process of battling criminal charges in Paul V Clinton….ummm HELLLLLLOOOOOO.. if it were Obama he'd be out of the race.. ran out of the Senate,chased by an angry mob all holding pitchforks and fire on torches!

The sad part is, she has succeeded in dirtying up Obama to make herself look better little does she know that she just handed McCain the presidency in the process. Hillary is so blinded by her self centeredness that she can’t see the damage done to Obama, the DEM party or USA for that matter. It’s sad that she controls the media by telling them what to think and say and to top it off smack in your face America this elitist self is telling Americans you are not smart enough to figure it out let me define Obama for you “he’s not what you think he is”. Do any of you ever expect her to say anything good about Obama. Wakeup America!!

So when Obama was up in this poll it meant nothing?

He's been leading in this poll for weeks and most of you said NOTHING! Why Now? Oh, because Hillary is leading … this is like the conversations I have with my seven year old.

WOW!!!

This is laughable the way the press try to keep this race dead even for the sake of business.

that depends on what poll you look at. cnn has a habit of picking and choosing the polls that will give it the best headline. rasmussen tracking poll today has obama beating hillary by 8 points (u won't see that on cnn…not sensational enough). rasmussen also has obama tied with mc cain and mc cain beating hillary by 3 points. i'm dissapointed in cnn and their manipulation of facts into sensationalism that isn't necessarily accurate.

Whatever… the powers that be finally realized Hillary isn't going to win and are now focusing their media agents against the candidate the people want.

The only losers here are us b/c we chose against Hillary months ago (popular vote in legit states) and now we're going to get McCain no matter who the Dem is because the Clintons have soiled both themselves and Obama beyond salvage.

Just know this if Hillary Clinton steals this from Obama you might as well not count the Black vote.We represent over 50% of the voters in the Dem Party and you better start worrying about that instead of those so call blue collar workers.

This is a good one, on the par with her sniperfire stories.
But with our great MSM, you know the ones; they gave us WMDs in Iraq. They gave us Iraq's Al-Qaeda connections. They will give us the shirt off our backs — when it has been worn out with our sweat making the bastards richer. But they won't give us aqnything like a real issue or the truth about anything.
Goebbels is so envious! He never dreamed any nation could be so manipulated by lies.

Any democrat has a better or "best" shot at defeating John McCain. But Hillary has defeated her "best" shot at defeating John McCain. Obama undoubtedly has the best of all.

I guess she would win considering that there are those who don't have the common sense to know that Obama is running for president and not Rev. Wright. People should have the common sense to separate a politician from a minister. If they put Hillary up you can count on many african americans staying home only because she can't just win by the white votes alone. She'll need the African American votes to help her win.

Yes!!!!!!!!!

Lets be honest, regardless of who is the Dem nominee, he/she will win the GE over McCain - which is 5 1/2 months away - good reason not to read to much into the polls.

If Hillary does win, its because operation chaos idiots are voting for her. Ask any Republican, and they will remind you that nothing will broing th eRep. party together like Hillary Clinton for president! They will kil themselves trying to get to the polls to vote against her. They dont have to try to bring up dirt on her, they have a full closet…waiting if she gets the nomination. A SURE defeat in November. I wont vote for her…

It's easier to trust some scientific fiction more as true than these days polls. Polls, as they failures time and again, are not news worth.

I think Hillary herself knows that Obama would be a better candidate against McCain, However, she is just being selfish. She has to understand that this election is not about her or Obama, it is about America in General. So She should accept that she is losing and step down, she is being very negative and the American voice show it. And I think the superdelagates know what their are going to pick her instade of Obama. Finally, if Obama is at her place the race had gone over.
Please Hillary stop being selfish for the best of America.

absolutely true.

the math is really simple. no matter how dnc tries to complicate it. as much as i like barack, he can't win florida, ohio and pennsylvania. he couldn't now despite tremendous financial support.

these are must win states for the dems. otherwise it's mccain. we all know the states he won will go red anyway.

i sure hope though that somehow they find a way to be in the same ticket. with obama agreeing to a vp spot. he will be an excellent president someday. but this is not his time yet.

If the DNC gives Clinton the nomination despite Obama's lead in delagates and popular vote I will proudly sport my new bumper sticker–The Democratic Party is not!

Clinton beating McCain is such an absurdity. Do you know how many people believe this polls are not credible?

Disenfranchise those millions of voters who voted for Senator Obama and see how far Senator Clinton gets.

wish you would have highlighted afew weeks ago the same way when Obama was up by more than ten points!!! why the double standard ?

The polls are meaningless…here's why:
Preface the scenario of Hillary being the Democratic nominee without having won the pledged delegate count and the result will be vastly different!
If Hillary wins the nomination at this point, it will be seen as illegitimate by the vast majority of rational persons!
If the Democrats think they can afford to alienate the African American vote, the youth vote and the Independent and Republican vote, then the crack cocaine problem is bigger in the US than I thought!
The Democrats certainly must realize that if you lose the AA vote in this election, that they may very well never achieve the presidency again in 30 years and that the Republicans will welcome them with open arms!

POLLS,SHMOLLS … The most hated politician of my lifetime.
She would never be elected.

Hillary has never been vetted — Bill has!! Is anyone out there paying attention?
See what Tom Hayden from California had to say about "her past" this week-end. We need to go forward not reach back in time for another Clinton president.

Obama can not win he is a flawed canadate him and rev wrong need to exit the stage we are not listening to this race divider. He is trying to win over the white americans and the catholics and jews but the bottom line is we do not trust him to be in charge of our country. As a demacrat we would voye mccain over him any day. At least mccain will protect us from terrorist and not be friends with them.

Americans are finally seeing the light. Hillary is the true uniter. She's the one who has worked across party lines, reached out to Republicans, made tough compromises so that we can work together again. She's in the best position to bring the country together. She was the brunt of Republican attacks for years and yet she has the integrity to put that behind her and reach out to them.

Go Hillary!!!

HRC has done what needed to be done: Expose that fraud Obama for what he, his wife and preacher all are: Extremists who blame America first. HRC has proven herself worthy of the nomination. Obama and his running mate, Wright, have proven themselves unworthy to even hold office.

Na na na na na na na na hey hey hey goodbye Obama!

That means nothing but rather many Clinton supporters were chosen for poll radomly. Trust me, if Clinton is the nominee, McCain will be president.

I am glad,people starting to recognised the electavility issue, Obama is not prepared YET too many contraversial question, He know everything about Hillary,too many un-answer questions about Obama

Obama has a better chance of beating McCain. Those polls are not accurate. Oh, by the way, CNN is biased.

Go Obama!

She has so much personality. She Beam's…

Thankfully I have interest in the elections again. I was beginning to think it would be obama vs. mccain and I would be torn on which loser to vote for. Hillary 2008!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

charlotte

Then do the same for Hillary! Unless your a total fake as well!

Oh yeah, so when the polls show obama in the lead-should the super delegates pay attention to that as well?
i guess clinton supporters will then say-oh polls don't matter like they usually do.

some said that Clinton will need the black vote and she wont get it now after all the "racial" comments. yeah right. i want to see the black people voting republican. would be something new. hehe.

Hillary GO…

you guys and your polls, have you been right all year, stop trying cnn
it does not matter what the polls say, she cannot win only way if you give it to her so stop this bul cnn, i know you guys do not like it get used to it President Obama….

Just because the poll today shows her having a better chance of beating McCain doesn't mean that tomorrow's poll….or next week's poll…or next month's poll will be the same.

And here come the Clinton supporters to justify the polls - polls are great if they say what you wanna hear!

Bottom line - if she doesn't win Indiana (cuz she's gonna lose North Carolina) no poll in the world will matter, she'll be forced OUT.

It was only a matter of time. Change will happen with a new administration. Hope only lets you dream. The reality is Washington is a game and someone needs to play it right to help the people of this country.
Go Hillary!

The fact that republicans want Clinton to win the nomination is the BEST reason to vote for Obama!

That is only because the Republicans are voting for her to drive up her numbers. They know she will be trashed in a general election because not only do the Republicans hate her, half the democrats hate her. I do mean hate. They also know Obama will win over McCain. I would vote for McCain over her and I pray it doesn't come to that. Anyone voting for her is dooming the election and another republican will be the next president. Her lies and evilness just do not support her for president.

""The only way Obama beats McCain is to keep stoking the flames of racial division. Thats not a win-win, folks.""

Good. Then I can expect the Clintons to lose-lose.

To Pam: I guess your slate is clean then if you will NEVER …PERIOD vote for Clinton. Wake up already. Politicians are Politicians. Don't be fooled by "Change" and "Hope".

We don't want change for change's sake. We want change because the current policies are heading our country in a wrong direction. We need to change in order to get to the right path. And Obama knows the way.

I tend to agree with the artilcle. Unfortunately for Sen. Obama –many things are now coming to light regarding who he actually is as a person. The 'bitter' gun toting comment did not help situations and many small town rural Americans are even more skepticle over Rev. Wrights recent appearences on TV. Although Rev. Wrights appears to be well educated and informative; unfortunately his very negative attitude toward white americans appears to be more than apparent (such as his UNWILLINGNESS to appologize to America for very diragoritory comments made after 9/11).

Electability is a very, very serious concern right now and I for one believe Sen. Clinton is seeming more electable than Sen. Obama.

Hillary is a FAKE!

Wake up Hillary supporters!

If the remaining superdelegates split 50-50 then Hillaty needs to win EACH state with 66% of the vote!

All I can say is that if Hillary gets the nomination, I will be forced to vote for McCain. It looks like the Clinton's back stabbing, lying ways are working again.
50 year old college educated white Texan for Obama.

The only way Hillary can win is if the Superdelegates ignore the results of the previous 40 nominating contests. If the Superdelegates overturn those results, neither she, nor any other Democrat in any race will get my vote come November. CNN: stop spinning for Hillary.

i will vote for whomever wins the nomination but i am still supporting obama. the mudslinging that the clinton camp seems to want to continue slinging really takes alot of credibility away from her and she is a very intelligent woman…i used to respect her way more than today. it seems like she is trying to curb it but there are the fringe groups that align with her and they continue in the slinging… i worry that if she is the candidate, we will once again have a republican in office. for every woman that votes for hillary because she is a woman, there are 2 people to vote against her due to bill's past behaviors and just the fact that during his two terms, the media portrayed her as an ice queen and that residual is out to sink her ship.

Common sense prevails. Liberals are only interested in symbolism. Democrats must be focused on one thing - winning in November. Obama is inexperienced, and unelectable. True, he is the most inspirational out of the 3 but is also the most inexperienced.

The consolation prize for the rude Obama supporters will be this - Clinton will be forced to put Obama on the ticket by the DNC - even though in my opinion that would still be a mistake. Obama should have waited until he had the resume before running. Too ambitious or as some might say - blind ambition.

Hillary will beat McCain in the fall, or McCain will defeat Obama.
Democrats must decide.

Clinton won't get my vote. Can't stand the lying, cheating, stealing, manipulating woman. Her political background is shameful.

Obama will have the most popular vote and the most delegates in the end. If the superdelegates take away an earned nomination from Barack Obama, Shrillary will lose in November. Period.

Substance is what Hillary offers. She offers this PLUS, energy, enthusiasm, grit, stamina, knowledge, experience, intelligence and a sheer determination to work hard to get the job done from day one. What does the opponent offer?
You have heard it a million times - words and hope, (his record is mediocre at best!)
I am tired of rhetoric and tired of empty words. For someone who has chosen "words matter" as his platform, we sure have seen that some of these words have shown his disconnect with so many AMericans. Unfortunately for him, not even in his platform of words and unity he can deliver effectively. It is time for all Americans to rise up and elect the Democratic candidate that can and will do the job for ALL of US!!!
Let substance prevail

Whose rating won't fall after long weeks of barage of negetive press and campaign. Men, this guys have had it from everyone, from Clinton, McCain and Wright. What do you expect. but I think it is a good thing for him to be down now and after the storm and if he can win both Indiana and NC. Watch the tide swing again. This is politics.

LOL…. these polls CHANGE EVERYDAY. People say believe the polls when they are doing good in them, and the polls dont matter when they are not doing well in them.

If you are swayed by a poll that changes everyday than I would question how much common sense you have.

The media is lying to Clinton supporters by trying to show that hillary has a chance of winning the dem. nomination.

She cannot catch up in ELECTED DELEGATES at this point. This is what WINS elections, not POLLS.

If you don't believe me, then just ask Al Gore, who won popular vote, but LOST elected delegates.

This lie needs to stop now.

Obama please drop out !!!!!

Go Hillary!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

people's votes in primaries would decide by june3, who is better to face McCain and not the polls or cnn or the clintonites speculations

Go Hillary….yes she will!!!!

I am tired of people saying if Obama win the nomination they are going to vote for McCain, What about Obama supporters what make people think if Hillary is nominated we will not do the the same thing,
Some people seem to think they have the monopoly on voting for others if they candidate is not nominater this is a two way street people

I read a comment by somebody saying that Hillary's experience as first lady is not real experience. I say to those of you who may feel this way: You have not done your homework. Hillary has accomplished much in her life, way before being first lady. She has done so much for the poor, women, children and under privelidged. I think so many of you out there would be astounded by her contributions. I know I was shocked once I started doing my own homework on each of the 3 candidates.

I think it would be wise for each of us to really research each candidate before making a decision on who we really think can get our country back on track.

OVERSTATED. NO ONE BELIEVES THIS ARTICLE.
SHAME ON YOU ALL.

Finally! I think the nation's high school crush-like infatuation with Obama is finally fading away. Maybe now we can start to focus on the real issues in this election like soaring crime rates, joblessness, homelessness and all the other problems that needs the attention of a strong democrat in the White House.

Why do people hate Clinton so much? B/c she is a woman, let's just admit it. People CAN'T stand a strong, successful, ambitious woman. It scares the hell out of them and offends something deep down. People are not objective in this country. They're ruled by their prejudices and fears.
Looking at her versus McCain, and looking at their proposed policies only, she is by far better for this country right now: affordable/free healthcare, environmental protection, measured approach to Iraq, tough on defense, protection for children.

Another poll by Rasmussen shows her losing to McCain by 2 points. The poll was taken during the same time as this AP poll. I hate how the reporting of these polls focusing on one poll. Check out pollster dot com to see the all of the polls side be side.

these polls are silly. so after obama wins IN and NC, i'm sure it will say he has a better chance.

the election process has been completely taken over by the media.

I'm a proud Hillary supporter and generally fall to the Democrat side when it comes to issues. During the weekend we talked about the different options for president and we all agreed on one thing. If Hillary didn't get the nomination we were going to vote ro McCain. Many might say it's because she tore the party apart but we all just agree that Obama isn't ready for the position yet.

Another four years of Bill running rampant in the Whitehouse, I don't think so.

Go Hillary!

Thank you for staying in the race and fight for us.

This is CNN CRAP!

Obama vs McWar is around 46/47% to McWars 43/44%

A differnce of a few percent!!!!

The margin of error can bring these numbers to Obama having a wider margine!

You have to be compleatly stupid to use these numbers for anything!

Who is the hack that wrote this anyways!!!!!!!!!!!!

Look… It doesn't really matter. The dems have a big problem. A screechy old lady or a racist black guy. Either way McCain wins.

AMERICA IS WAKING UP. WE CAN ONLY HOPE THAT NORTH CAROLINA AND INDIANA ARE AWAKE, AND NOT BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMANIZED

Vote FOR you candidate, not AGAINST the other.

If you are picking your candidate based on their ability to beat McCain, somethign is wrong.

The argument that "my candidate has a better shot at beating McCain" falls on deaf ears for both Hillary supporters and Obama supporters.

First Poll in ages that shows Clinton doing better than Obama - get right on CNN :-/

Never mind that Obama has been in a strong lead all along? Are we to interpret that the opinions expressed in the new poll will remain unchanged from now to eternity? Come on, give me a break!

A concernd citizen

Have any of you Clintonistas done any actual research on your candidate? Any of you???? Other than what's on her website? You all are in for a sad awakening. Her scandals are way over the top and she has not been vetted whatsoever this election cycle. She'd lose by a landslide because believe me no one will vote for her. People that I talk to have remembered all the scandals she was involved with and believe me there will be more. I can not believe she's going to have to testify in November right when the election is happening! You people are so blind.

All a single poll proves is what the individuals polled felt. You need far more than one poll to indicate a trend and far more than a trend to be accurate in interpreting the results. No matter what you think of Clinton/Obama this means nothing (though CNN would like you to think differently as it gets you to look at their website so they can sell their add space for more).

Finally, the Obama hype is fading. GREAT.

How often has Hillary "disagreed" with polls? Many many times Hillary has come out to talk all about how "polls don't say anything"…. oh wait that's right… that's only when the polls DON'T favor her!

Of course Hillary has the better chance of beating McCain. She is the better democratic candidate. The more Al Sharpten and Rev, Wright talk, the worse of a chance Obama will have.

It is real shame that elections are still subject to the racism that persists among americans. Worse still is the media's (ie CNN, MSNBS to name a few) acceptance and use of it in defining a candidate's electability. It is clear that Dr. King's dream is far from realized

Obama needs to focus on winning reelection as a Senator… he better walk away soon for Hillary to have a chance…

notice what the so call polls say???she has a better chance,does'nt say obama cant win.nice try media.guess this is hillary last attemp to nowhere.lol

Polls come and go…….but Rev. Wright isn't doing Obama any good at this point. There is some concern out there, but I think it is still probably too late for Hillary.

Bottom line, neither candidate is perfect, but we can't allow one candidate to demonize the other. Supers, make up you minds, will you please?

Alex in TX…. I so agree with you!

Apparently polls have become nothing more than a reflection of the results of the most recent primary/caucus. After Obama's huge NC victory, the poll will shift back in his favor. People are too fickle and too easily manipulated for polls to have any meaning whatsover.

The only important number is:

Who has won the most delegates?

Answer:

Barrack Obama

Unless Clinton can get more delegates, then none of these other numbers mean anything. And, the fact of the matter is that it is IMPOSSIBLE for her to do so.

Let's end this farce already so we can unite the party.

IF YOU ARE SELECTING WHICH COMMENTS TO POST, HOW COME MOST OF THEM ARE PRO HILLARY? AMERICA DOES NOT DESERVE SUCH OBVIOUSLY BIASED JOURNALISM

I find it strange that we're paying attention to general election polls before the primary season is over. I don't think we'll have a clear view of the match up until the nominee on both sides is chosen, and the real debate begins.

Who are these people polling? I've never received a call. How about you?

she cannot win the election with out black votes so go ahead an nominate her and she will not win in November OR in 2012 because if Black people have not forgotten 400 years of in justice do you really expect them to forget 4 years after the nomination is stolen. The democrats will not get in for the next 400 years!!!!

at least thats what the polls say today….
if the democratic party could stop bickering with one another maybe they could unite and defeat McCain in a landslide.
unification don't pay the bills though.

I don't buy this.. maybe for democrats she beats McCain by nine points.. but unless this poll was taken in Vermont or some other lib hideout– I don't buy it.. she has the strongest negatives in history. No one I know wants her in the Whitehouse. No one I know wants Obama either.

Dems - this is your election to lose.. if you lose this one.. you should just give up.

Only Hillary Can Save This great Nation—-YES SHE CAN

Give it a rest. Obama is the one. Polls are a brief snapshot in history and the fools that vote for Clinton have to have a moment or two to savor in a race that is pretty much in Obama's hands. Go PRESIDENT OBAMA.

Hillary is a lying two-faced fake smiling sneaky witch. I'm a democrat and if she wins the nomination, McCain will definitely get my vote.

There is no doubt that Hillary will not be able to beat McCain. She is a liability to the Democratic party. Enough said.

The week before it was just the other way around … so ?

Yeah and next week it will be vice versa so whoopdi do we all know who is the best to beat Mccain and no poll of 2,000 is going to tell me other wise there is Three Hundred Million People in this Country when I see One Hundred and fifty million people polled then that is when i Believe you

If CNN were ESPN, their coverage would consist of nothing but errors and analysts trying to explain to us that by the guy STANDING NEXT to Derek Jeter missing one grounder, he himself might now miss alot of grounders from here on out and ruin his shot at the Hall of Fame.

Of course they wouldn't show us any other highlights, stats or his good plays, or tell us he's still leading the league and filling the seats with millions of new baseball fans.

That one error by his friend who doesn't even play baseball would be replayed over and over for a whole season.

Get back to the news, CNN. Now.

This is only because of all the distractions going on with Barack right now. I HOPE that America sees the hypocrisy that is the Clinton brand. She has proven that she will destroy, even a fellow Democrat, in order to win the White House. Her plan is to dilute his candidacy so much that he will have no way of winning come November. This will be a sad day for America and a sad day for where our country could be heading.

America, please look at AND LISTEN to Hillary. She is NOT telling you the truth. She IS telling you what you want to hear.

Bonzo the Chimp could beat McCain!

pleaseeeeee what pro hillary pundit took this poll
She has so many negatives she could never win against MCain
By the time the republicans are finished with her she will be toast
Besides 62% of the american people have an unfavorable opinion of her
Everyone knows the idiot Rush Limabaugh is sending out republicans to vote for her ..how democratic is that and there should be laws against it
They are afraid of Obama thats why they want Clinton
they know she is too disliked to ever win
not only that, any person with any intelligence know Rev wrights opinions are his own
they are* NOT the opinions or views of Obama*

I'd like to see obama debate mc cain in the fall ! There is no way he'd win ! He 'd make the democrates look stupid and weak!

Good for her, what a poor choice that would be for America. Bush's thrid term versus Liar Liar……

I am so tickled at how the polls don't seem to matter to Clintonites until they favor "Hell"ary… this is too funny.

Maybe it's me, but someone who runs a campaign into debt can't tell me diddly squat about how she can fix the economy. That's like a someone who is broke trying to tell a millionaire how to make money.

Of course Clinton skips over NC or even fails to acknowledge it. Even Clintonites are saying NC is no big deal because Obama is going to win it anyway but yet are willing to say Obama couldn't win PA when Hillary was expected to win anyway - and NOT.. get it N-O-T… by the double digits she wants to toot her horn about. How someone can go from a 33% point lead a couple of months ago to single digits and still say they have momentum is a kind of delusion that requires strict medication and 24 hour psychiatric watch.

the polls will flip and flop!!! let's move on..

obama is ahead and will always be ahead… hillary is trying to make an argument that media will take hold of and report… i bet obama has the superdelgates that he needs to win… we all know she will not be able to beat him in it… i bet obama is just going along, knowing that he's going to get it… he has the superdelgates in the bank!!! and hillary is the only one who are teying to get more superdelgates!!!

hillary just DROP out!!!

Once she drops out his numbers will shoot back up. There are lemmings in the voting populous that will go in whatever direction they think the crowd is going. Including over a cliff. It's always been this way. The same folks yelling hosanna in the highest on Sunday will be yelling crucify him free Barabbas on Friday!!!

well sorry hillary clinton but so far the delegate race says otherwise. Lets stick to the rules and stop polling people on how they feel about cheating the election.

These polls swing back and forth and they only capture people that have voted in the past. They don't capture the hundreds of thousands of newly registered voters. I wouldn't give them much weight.

my dog has a better shot than Obama

I have never been included in any of these polls. Let me give my opinion right here, right now….Hillary is unelectable, period. For myself, a Democrat, I will vote for Ralph Nader if Hillary gets the nomination.

Such a shame that the only thing propelling her is negative campaigning - what a mean spirited person who will do anything to "win." In my view, the ends do not justify the means.

I am deeply deeply ashamed and dissapointed in this campaign and the primary system in general.

Obama can not win in November.

poll this and poll that. these polls don't mean anything. everyone that knows anything knows it is to early to poll the general

Check the latest polls on Real Clear Politics and find out that Obama does better in most recent polls.

"Yes She Will"? Yes she will lose to Barack Obama. Hillary, time to join the Obama camp and start chanting YES WE CAN!!!

Barack '08

Oh, and let's see how you fair with 8% of the African American vote if you should pull off stealing the nomination. Trying to make this about race is just ridiculous in the light of how she has alienated this key block of the Democratic vote….

Clinton supporters have known this all along. Obama is unelectable and unqualified to be president. There is absolutely nothing in his past of substance that would indicate he should be even running for president much less actually hold the office. If we want the White House back in November it is time to vote smart, vote Clinton.

Bush - Clinton - Bush - Clinton?

What has a great nation come to?

If this country thinks that the future lies with postmenopausal bidies who hide their feminity under shapeless pantsuits and try to appear more machos than men, so be it !

You dont need this article to figure out Obamas lead at all is due to MEDIA HYPE and a better ground team in caucus's.

The actual fact is he wont win the general election because there isnt much behind the surface with Obama.

go to electorialvote.com and see for yourself

Obama is losing to Mc Cain in a general election and Clinton is beating him handily.

If Clinton gets the nomination it will be back to voting for the person who will do the less evil. Who will it be, a liar or a fool. It will be a hard choice. All of a sudden Ralph Nadar doesn't look so bad.

I give a different answer every time I'm asked, just to throw them off, and I'm a Democrat.

Lord knows what Republicans do to screw with these polls.

It's going to be impossible to beat McCain without the black vote, or the youth vote, or the white collar vote, Hillary. If you steal the nominee from Obama, this will happen, and you won't have a prayer to defeat McCain. We will stay home, and McCain will win.

~~

35 years of ghosts in the closet waiting to come out!

Not to mention Bill's problems

…

The way the Dems are going especially the negative Clinton attacks…

Looks like McCain will have a cake walk

I think with the worsening economy people are starting to realize we did prosper under the Clinton administration. More young people I know are looking into that and they are researching it and I find many are switching to Clinton. We need a Clinton in there to make it right again. Later on when our country's economy is stable then vote for Obama later on. We can not gamble running our country with someone so new to the system.

CLINTON "08″

I am a democrat and I wouldn't vote for Hillary if my life depended on it.

OMG some of you people amaze me. If Obama's ahead in the polls the polls are great and Hillary needs to drop out. If the polls don't favor him well then poll's just don't matter. They are the same on the changes they wish to make. He is as big of a liar as she is. But she will get my vote because she is the one with the spine to stand up and get things done and if she doesn't get the nomination then I will vote for him because the changes they want to make are virtually identical. Wake up people ALL politicians are liars including your precious Obama but either one of these is preferable to McCain and if you can't see that then you will have only yourselves to blame when McCain wins and we have another 4-8 years of the Bush mess.

These polls must have been taken by Fox News.

CNN and the rest of the MSM, are really trying to force feed us a Hillary Clinton presidency. The only poles that really count are on election days, and Obama is leading in total delegates & total votes. PERIOD.

CNN and MSM, please stop feeding the public this fairytail.

When Obama was in the lead in all the poles, we weren't feed that he was the most electable.

Go Hillary!!!!!!!!!!
The world needs her
Yayyyyy

People are seeing the hypocracy that is Obama… and as things continue there will be a larger than 9 Point lead for McCain should Obama get the nomination… which is very unlikely!

No Bama No Way

Too bad people can't see real dignity and honesty as positive values in a President. They'd rather cheer for a liar like Hill.

Is this the same poll that the Clinton campaign just conducted? Oh, that's what I thought!

OBAMA '08

She has what it takes! Period!

“The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Monday shows John McCain and Barack Obama once again tied, with each attracting 46% of the vote. Four percent (4%) say they would vote for a third party option and 4% are undecided. In a match-up with Hillary Clinton, it’s McCain 47%, Clinton 44%.” In North Carolina, Barack Obama has opened up a twenty-three percentage point lead over Hillary Clinton. The latest Rasmussen Reports telephone survey finds that Obama attracts 56% of the vote while Clinton earns 33%. A month ago, Obama’s lead was just seven percentage points.

Why do people trust this kind of polls at all? The results are only because that the Obama supporters are more mature democratic supporters. Most of these well-educated affluent voters will vote for Democratic anyway. However, Clinton supporters are some narrow-minded idiots, who would threat to vote for McCain in the fall.

BTW, I do not trust this kind of poll at all. I know lots of people like me who will vote for Democratic in November anyway, but they will lie to the poll that they could vote for McCain if their favorite candidate do not get the nomination.

This is one independent who will vote for McCain, if Hillary is nominated.

What happen to the fact that Hillary went into the Pennsylvania 6 weeks with a 25-35 percent lead and came out with a 9-10 percent lead. How do you measure that. Can you imagine a similar decrease in her lead if Obama had campained in Florida and Michigan.

Polls are worthless. They're just a media tool to drag out stories. If this contest looks over, there's nothing left to report on. If it looks like Hillary's making a comeback, the news goes on and on.

Most Democrats I know feel that Hillary is closer to GWB than McCain is, and they're leaning towards McCain if there is a Hillary/McCain matchup. I will personally probably vote for a third party because I don't like either one of them.

But, I admit, I think McCain is a more qualified and more trustworthy candidate than Clinton. It's really sad, because I used to really like Bill, but after seeing how they have run this campaign, I can't stand either Clinton. I thought they were above this, but I was wrong.

Whatever! She should have used a better political strategy. Unfortunately, there are more that 5 or 6 states that matter. I think she should understand that you can't use an electoral vote arguement in the primary which is base on deligates. Oh well, too little too late! Obama '08!

The only way I'll support Hillary is if she overtakes Obama in the pledged delegate count. Any other scenario would be viewed as "stealing" it from Obama, pure and simple.

-Obama-08

I have known that for months. Obama will never win in the General Election!!!

Go Hillary!!!

Hillary is now and has always been the most dependable candidate …she gives specifics and she actually has answers and plans to help us out econimcally the concept of GREEN COLLAR JOBS is absolutely undeniably brilliant ,and she knows what will bring gas prices down because she UNDERSTANDS how the economy works !!!! if you want help at the gas pump vote HILLARY !!!!

FOX NEWS ROUND TABLE SAID IT BEST AND THEY ALL AGREED.

THEY SAID HILLARY IS THE BEST CANIDATE !!

FOX HAS SAID FOR A LONG TIME NOW THAT HILLARY WOULD BE HARDER TO WIN.

OBAMA WAS VIRTUALLY UNKNOWN BEFORE THIS ELECTION AND IN THE GENERAL PEOPLE WON'T TAKE THAT RISK.WITH EVERYTHING THAT KEEPS COMMING OUT A LITTLE AT A TIME THEY ARE AFRAID WHAT ELSE SO WE NOT KNOW ABOUT OBAMA.

WE ALL KNOW EVERYTHING ABOUT HILLARY, SHE'S FACED IT ALL BEFORE. OBAMA HAS NOT.

Go Hillary!!!!!!!!!!
The world needs her

I will make this short… "IF" Hillary is the winner of the Democratic
party, I will vote for McCain !!! Lesser of the two evils, ya know.

GO OBAMA GO !!!

Those who think that Hillary can beat McCain should imagine a likely republican add contrasting the footage showing the war prisoner with that of Hillary narrating in vivid details her war-zone experience as she came under sniper fire in Bosnia. Issues of honor, courage and credibility will be raised and the voter will hear her public admission of having lied followed by the question: can America afford to elect an admitted liar for president?

Nice try!!! It will never happen.
This is OBAMA's turn….

Hillary should drop out now while she still have a bit of credibity

Hillary will never win,she is a sore loser and a liar.I hope she never drops out,im having fun watching her cry herself out of the race.Keep up the goodwork Hillary,you are tearing the party apart.

There are polls–and there are polls.

I think it would be speculative to say anyone is in the lead in a general election that is more then six months away. I would be saying the same thing if FDR, JFK, or anyone was running for president. I take this with a grain of salt.

I read about a poll, called the Primaries, that says the people think Obama is better. But what do polls matter, right?

I don't understand why Hillary supporters want to steal an election from the obvious winner?

We know what happened the last time an election was stolen!!!

It's no way she will be ahead in popular vote or delagates come June.

Numbers don't lie but desperate politicians do!!!

Democrat's 08

Hillary is vulnarable and cannot beat McCain in November. Monica Lewinsky, 1994 Genocide in Rwanda on Foreign policy, Trip to Bosnia, etc could heat Hillary in November especially on Independant voters.
