An estimated 75,000 people came out to support Barack Obama Sunday in Oregon.

(CNN)– Amid reports that the Democratic Party’s leaders and largest fundraisers are beginning to take steps to try to bring their party together after a long, hard-fought primary campaign, the latest Gallup daily tracking poll suggests Democratic voters are beginning to coalesce around Sen. Barack Obama.

Obama holds a 16-point lead over Sen. Hillary Clinton in Gallup’s latest daily tracking poll released Monday. He has the support of 55 percent of Democratic and Democratic-leaning voters while Clinton’s support is at 39 percent.

Previously, Obama’s largest lead over Clinton was 11 percentage points, in daily tracking polls conducted in mid-May and mid-April, according to Gallup. Prior to John Edwards’s exit from the Democratic nomination race, Clinton held a 20-point lead over Obama in mid-January.

The results are based on a survey of 1,261 Democratic and Democratic-leaning voters using combined data from May 16-18, 2008. The poll has a margin of error of plus or minus three percentage points.

Kentucky and Oregon hold their Democratic primaries Tuesday. Obama is favored in Oregon’s contest and Clinton in Kentucky’s, according to CNN’s latest poll of polls in each state.

CJH, don't worry about not voting for Obama and all of you who threaten not to, there will be a republican to take your place. By the way, you were never going to vote for him anyway so please quit with the threats…I guess if McCain wins, then I can blame you for more lives lost because of the war…thanks a lot!

democrat   May 19th, 2008 3:58 pm ET

Like Hillary, I am strong and I will not be bamboozled by Obama's radical speeches,I will not vote for Obama in november , do you think after all these hates from Obama supporters we will have a united front in november , no way.

Stacy Clarks   May 19th, 2008 3:57 pm ET

LET'S UNITE DEMOCRATS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Kentucky girl   May 19th, 2008 3:57 pm ET

Go Hillary, go on and GET OUT of the race.

DRIP, DRIP, DRIP …………LOL ……..BYE BYE

OBAMA 08

Randy - Denver   May 19th, 2008 3:57 pm ET

A simple FACT is Ms. Clinton has won MOST of the die-hard Democratic states. That is a fact, now the caveats to the fact, she has not won these states by large margins as she implies, and some of these states (Specifically CA) have said in recent polls (I know Polls mean nothing) that if the vote were held today she would lose by simialr margins to what she won them by. So the point on this first caveat is this these hard Democratic states will go to the democratic candidate in November, meaning, while Mr. Obama may not win them by as large of a margin as Ms. Clinton would (debatable point) he will STILL win them and therefore her elector count is flawed, most superdelegates understand thius which is why this arguemnt has done little to sway them. The second caveat to the fact is simply this, Mr. Obama has won MOST of those states which normally do not vote Democratic AND (here is the important part) the voter turnout in some of those states has been GREATER than in the last presidential election. Meaning what you might ask, meaning this if that many Democrats turn out in this presidential election he will win those states normally granted as Republican strongholds. that is why Mr. obama is more electable than Ms. Clinton. Ms. Clinton might carry more of the "old school" in a primary but these same "old school" dems will follow party line and it will be the "new age" dems that can make the difference and win the election for Mr. Obama.

Chi-Town Cheryl   May 19th, 2008 3:57 pm ET

In with the "new"– out with the "old." The Clintons are yesterday's news. Obama is fresh, new and progressive. Even the pantsuits Hillary wears is sooooooooooo 1980's. Who wears pantsuits today? Hillary backers, you are in the minority. It's time for a change. A person is really, really out of touch if they want things to stay just the way they are today. I'm a risk taker and it's always paid off for me. I'm on the Obama express to the White House. Bring on the change!!!

OBAMA '08

Clinton supporters - come join in the fun!!

Let's get this slaughtering on the roll!!!

JohnS   May 19th, 2008 3:55 pm ET

OBAMA '08 & '12

Let's get the Democratic Party united to go after the GOP.
Check out OBAMA's response to Bush's and McCain's attack on foreign policy. OBAMA was very sharp… The GOP is trembling

The right candidate has won the Democratic presidential nomination: BARACK OBAMA. He will also win the General Elections

OBAMA '08 & '12

David Goldman for OBAMA   May 19th, 2008 3:54 pm ET

AMAZING !!!!!

CLINTON COULDN'T GET THESE CROWS OUT TO SEE HER

IF SHE & FERRARO WERE GIVING MONEY AWAY.

AVEMBE The sun   May 19th, 2008 3:54 pm ET

Man man man!!!Can't believe it HRC is second but claiming she's the first!!!?!?!….so the loser …is actually …the winner…?!!!! For the people who plan not to vote for Obama if he's the nominee or plan not to vote for HRC if she' is(…) just think about the next judge whether it will be a Rep.or a dem..;at the supreme court It may gonna be tough for women…Think about it seriously

mmartin arkansaw   May 19th, 2008 3:53 pm ET

what?only 16 points ahead?and 2 weeks left?but,hillary is more electable?it must be sinking in,to smarter hillary supporters.the ignorant one's will still be looking for her name on the ballot in nov.

Chunnie2008   May 19th, 2008 3:52 pm ET

Way to go Senator Robert Byrd, God bless you, God bless America.
Prime examlpe of how the clinton's supporters are, imagine what geraldine ferraro is saying. That is why we need Senator Obama, we need change, and we need it now.

R1100RT in VA   May 19th, 2008 3:52 pm ET

Hillary, call me a traitor to my "race", but I'm proudly one of the supposed handful of Hardworking White Americans voting for Obama in November, not for YOU.

Don in Florida   May 19th, 2008 3:52 pm ET

Obama has won this fair and square. Anyone who doesnt think should consider this; If the roles were reversed and Obama was losing on all counts, would you think it fair if the nomination were still given to him? Be honest. You wouldn't. What do we teach our children? In every contest there's a winner and a loser. Its not whether you win or lose it's how you play the game. This just happens to be the year for Obama. So we all need to just move on and get over it and unite behind him. Clinton can try again the next time.

Paul   May 19th, 2008 3:52 pm ET

It was a good try. Thanks to Operation Chaos, Hillary was able to stay in the race much longer than she should would have if not for those Rush listeners who crossed over because they wanted the chaos to continue. If the Hillary supporters were honest with themselves they know that she should of been knocked out after Texas and Ohio. Even with Operation Chaos, in the end it will be a decisive victory for Obama for the Democratic nomination. Unfortunately for Rush and Operation Chaos, the unintended effect was for millions of new Democrats added to the ranks because of the prolonged race and the interest that resulted. So for you Hillary supporters, even though some of you have the nerve to say that she won the popular vote when she is down by 700K, Hillary received hundreds of thousands of votes from Republicans who can't stand her, but did what Rush asked them to.

Shotta Nic   May 19th, 2008 3:52 pm ET

Its funny how people hate on CNN as soon as they have a "non-positive" story about HIllary, then all of a sudden, the whole world is against her.

Win gracefully, lose gracefully. Dont be spiteful and hateful. Deal with it.

Lalsomde   May 19th, 2008 3:52 pm ET

Obama is clearely the winner.We don't have time to waste right now.If Hilary loves her party and cares about her country she should not be fighting a fight that she already knows the results.We need to unify our party and concentrate on the upcoming general election.

Tex   May 19th, 2008 3:51 pm ET

The polls are reflecting what everyone else already knows! The nomination is over. Then you absolute idiots like Ferraro. She was a real loser when she ran as Veep with Mondale. She is a real loser today saying she is not going to vote for Obama. She keeps trying to throw it all back as Obama's fault for stupid racist remark and then lacks the intelligence and character to omit she was wrong. History will now remember her more for her racist remarks towards Obama and her inabilty to be human or Christian and apologize, than being the first female Veep candidate. What an idiot!

Catherine S   May 19th, 2008 3:51 pm ET

GO OBAMA!!!!!!!!!!!
Independents, Repubs and Dems ALL for Obama.
Yes, we CAN.

Jeff   May 19th, 2008 3:51 pm ET

Great news, and a testament to the wide base of support that Senator Obama has gathered. Hopefully he'll pick a VP that will inspire us, too–not Hillary Clinton

texas dem   May 19th, 2008 3:50 pm ET

Hillary is polling better against McCain because of Rush Limbaugh's Operation Kaoos (or what ever). Its the interference of the Republicans into the Democratics Primary process that has dragged this thing on this long. I think Senator Byrd's endorsement demonstrates that real party members support Obama! Come home yellow dog democrats and welcome newbies to the fold!

YES WE CAN
President Barack Obama
2008-2012

RC   May 19th, 2008 3:50 pm ET

Go Obama Go!!! Hope you win this thing.
McCain is sounding like he is being coached by Carl Rove. . nuff said.

C   May 19th, 2008 3:50 pm ET

Obama's Family will be the most Attractive Family in White House History. The Clinton's were the MOST UGLY!!

Jane L.   May 19th, 2008 3:50 pm ET

Sen. Obama has LESS votes from the people than Sen. Clinton has, and it's not over yet. If the party decides on Obama despite that fact, they cannot expect party unity in November.
Furthermore, the DNC surely better get its act together before another election. There is no logical reason for their ridiculous rules and caususes. Logically, the primaries should be conducted the same way the general election is conducted, and if that had been the case this time, Sen. Clinton would be the clear winner instead of our democratic process being subverted to the will of so-called "superdelegates."

Ken   May 19th, 2008 3:48 pm ET

I do have another question, and that is about the "Super delegates" voting. I thought that the "Super Delegates were to vote according to their states popular vote?

Why has not the media said something about both of the WV Senators have endorsed Barack Hussein instead of Hillary Clinton, who by the way beat Barack Hussein by 41 points?

Just goes to show you how partial the media is! Senator Byrd and Senator Rockefeller should be ashamed and should change their vote to represent the will of the people!

Hillary Clinton should receive both Senator's of WV votes, and again, be nominated to become the nominee of the Democrat Party. Hillary Clinton has beat Barack Hussein in the popular vote as well.

Hillary Clinton for President 2008

Fraizer   May 19th, 2008 3:47 pm ET

Finally! Now can we put the nail in the coffin of all these bitter, hysterical, Clinton supporters (yes, I said Bitter). The histironics are best directed at their unfortunate spouses. not at other voters who might disagree with them. Just like the south lost the war, this battle has concluded! Get over it, already.

Larry Buchas   May 19th, 2008 3:47 pm ET

These polls are all over the place.

The Democrats need to reach Hillary's supporters. It will be interesting to see what they have in mind.

I'm a Barack supporter and I can't help but give her credit for putting up a hard fight. It's supposed to be competitive. She just followed the will of her supporters by not giving up. You have to admire that, everyone!

One Love!   May 19th, 2008 3:47 pm ET

VERY, VERY COOL OREGON!!

That is impressive!!!

Dixie Dem   May 19th, 2008 3:47 pm ET

Yes We Can…………………………….all of us Dems that has been badmouthed and kicked around by the Obama train will vote for McCain.

Ron L   May 19th, 2008 3:46 pm ET

SHE IS NOT, I REPEAT NOT MORE ELECTABLE!!!

KEKE   May 19th, 2008 3:46 pm ET

HILLARY DOSENT CARE ABOUT YOUR POCKET BOOKS ISSUE SHE DOSNT HAVE THEM PROBLEMS ALL SHE IS WORRYIN ABOUT IS WINNIG BECAUSE IF YOU TRACK BACK SHE UP LIFT JOHN MCCAIN IN HERSELF AND SAYS HER OPPONENT GONNA DELIVER NOTHING BUT SPEECHES.YALL BETTER LOOK OUT BECAUSE IF SHE CARE ENOUGH SHE KNOWS OBAMA HAVE A CHANCE SO WAY SHE CONTINUES TO TIRE HIM DOWN I THINKS SHE HAVE SOME REPUBLIANS IN HER SHE VOTED FOR THE WAR.

Viet Nam Vet   May 19th, 2008 3:45 pm ET

CJH-

Then vote for him in bad conscience.
I was for Edwards- - -Then Hillary
I WILL vote for OBama

For any true Democrat you cannot do less

I want us out of Iraq. It will take time but we have to start and we will
when obama takes office

We should have a national holiday to party when bush slinks into the sunset.

I hope Obama forms A committee to charge bush, cheney, rice & rumsfield for not upholding their oaths of office and war crimes

elle   May 19th, 2008 3:44 pm ET

I not at the age to vote yet. I am a year off . I will be 17 is summer.

Carl   May 19th, 2008 3:44 pm ET

The only one to think this is not over is Hillary. She is so delusional that it's scary.

Sock it to ya   May 19th, 2008 3:44 pm ET

DEANS DOZEN google it.

Obama was handpicked by the Dems old school.

That is why all the old school is backing Obama, and turned their back on Hillary.

Ben   May 19th, 2008 3:43 pm ET

To all of you Hillary haters. Good way to unite the party by your childish name calling and cheap labeling. Your divisivness will cost you and this country IF your candidate happens to win the nomination. Let's please keep this civil and factual.

J   May 19th, 2008 3:43 pm ET

Jim T, her followers are bigots? Would you vote for Condoleeza Rice if she ran for the GOP? Wouldn't that make you a bigot too? Let's face it, a lot of Obama's ideas are radical…and not in a good way. He may represent a vocal minority, but he does not represent what is American.

Joe   May 19th, 2008 3:42 pm ET

IT'S OVER HILLIARY!

JUST GO AWAY ALREADY AND TAKE YOUR STUPID
SUPPORTERS WITH YOU!!!!!!!!!!!

THANK GOD FOR CHANGE. YES WE CAN! OBAMA '08!

NONE   May 19th, 2008 3:42 pm ET

Hillary's head is the size of one of those Easter Island statutes.
Man, that's frightening.

OBAMA IN 08

and it's good to see that "blackmanphobia" still grips the good ol' U S of A. It doen't matter…We still here, We still ain't using verbs, and as far as your daughters go…..well, you already know! THANKS.

Time to move on   May 19th, 2008 3:41 pm ET

OBAMA ONCE IN LIFE PRESIDENT
GO OBAMA 08

mary cleveland, ohio   May 19th, 2008 3:41 pm ET

I just read the Washington Post article mentioned on the CNN Political Ticker Page. The article is about Hillary Clinton's avoidance of discussing her 1960's - 1970's employment("internship) with a group of attorneys in San Francisco, who represented Communist organizations and people tied to the then Weather Underground.
A successful attorney(s) in the Washington Post article called her a hypocrite for attacking Obama for the fact that he had and Wm. Ayers, a now board member of a charity in Chicago where Obama also sat as a member. The Clintons have a very, very shady past, so shady he shouldn't have ever been elected to begin with.

This is why Clinton needs to get out of the race. She is watching what she is saying about Obama now, somewhat, however, her attacks have contributed to damaging the party. Obama has been a straight up guy. He is the winner and she needs to get out of the picture entirely so we can win in November.

kay, NM   May 19th, 2008 3:41 pm ET

I don't want a change in the wrong direction.

Richard   May 19th, 2008 3:41 pm ET

I don't believe anything from the media any more….

Go Hillary!!!…. Clinton '08!!!

Sock it to ya   May 19th, 2008 3:41 pm ET

CNN you can delete all the negative posts about Obama you want.

Come November, millions of us Democrrats are going to knock you out when we vote for McCain.

You have been biased for Obama from day one, why I don't know. Can't wait to sock it to ya, for deleting all of my posts though, that is gonna make me so happy.

Alex   May 19th, 2008 3:41 pm ET

I thought I was the only one who noticed that CNN showed ONLY Obama addressing "a crowdless crowd" in Oregon yesterday.
Had I not read the Huff Post I would have thought he was speaking to his wife and two daughters and NOT 75,000 good souls!
Way to go future U.S,.A President!

PJ   May 19th, 2008 3:40 pm ET

Never in my life have I heard or seen more cruelty, viciousness and mean-spirited commentary. I doubt very much that Hillary Clinton has done anything to any of you except to fight for the America she knows we can be. Regardless of who you support, being a patriot and caring about the issues we face in this country should be the priority. This is not a personality contest - it's about who has what it takes to clean up the mess left behind by eight years of GW and his cronies. These blogs seem to be a contest to see who can write the nastiest comments in print without anyone knowing who they are!

jay, ny   May 19th, 2008 3:40 pm ET

I have to laugh at these so called "more educated" yet very niave obama supporters. Where do these choices for vp come from…the bottom of the barrel? Sebielus who….a nobody….Jim Web…give me a break, he won a small victory and is another newbie, Ted Strickland might be good….Bill Richardson? are you kidding, that man has less traction with the electorate than a summer tire on an icy road in alaska….the vp choice must be either Hillary or someone from a highly contested swing state that obama obviously lost in the primary. The election lies in the swing states people wake up!!! It doesn't lie in Kansas and Virginia!!

RW   May 19th, 2008 3:40 pm ET

Tjaye   May 19th, 2008 3:40 pm ET

Beat her like she stole two Friday's out of the month??? LMAO!

I will be LOOKING for a chance to use that messf! LOL

Anyway…I agree with you. We need to end this and get on with winning against McBush. She tried and found dirtily and valiently…but, she didn't win. Its not the end of the world to be in second in the Dem nominee contest ESPECIALLY being the first woman to make it that far as a serious candidate. She can be a trailblazer for the next woman, who may actually win. But, she needs to be gracious now.

Obama O-8!

Karen Poore   May 19th, 2008 3:40 pm ET

What world do you live in?

The only sympathy I feel is for the people that have fallen for power hungry Hillary lies.

We need new politics >>>>> Obama

km   May 19th, 2008 3:40 pm ET

The longer she stays in, the easier it is to see that she is doing this to benefit Hillary…not the dems…not the country. The polls reflect people's opinion of that tactic.

JeffRob   May 19th, 2008 3:39 pm ET

Phil (5th post) is spot-on.

"Hillary is your personality cult leader. We know this. You would vote for her if she was running against Kennedy."

That is exactly right. Any Democrat who isn't solidly behind Obama at this point either hasn't listened to a word he's said, or has a problem voting for a Black man.

If you're the former, please start listening. We need your vote, and now!

If you're the latter, well, you should start listening, too. Maybe you'll learn something.

God sent him   May 19th, 2008 3:38 pm ET

Come January 08 it will be exactly 20 years of Bush and Clinton together. We need a change and I hope the American people open their eyes and the see the light.

VOTE OBAMA.

I think if the democratic party doesn^t accept that Hillary is getting more popular vote and doesn^t select her as their nominee then Hillary should go independent ….

Superdelegates Turned Down $1 Million Offer From Clinton Donor

Mike - Texas   May 19th, 2008 3:37 pm ET

Just remember, OBama has dropped 10 percentage points to Hillary in Oregon in the last week and a half. If she had another week and a half, then she'd beat OBama in Oregon. He is dropping fast.

Turnabout is fair play   May 19th, 2008 3:36 pm ET

Clearly she is NOT more electable. She leads in NOTHING except delegates and that is about to be taken off her win column as well. What makes you think she is more electable? I'm not going to bash Hillary but I just want to know why you think she is more electable? Why are the superdelegates STILL going for him more than for her if she's so electable? Tell me Adam from NY.

Make a choice everyone, do you want 4 more years of Republicans blowing smoke or do you really want a new direction that takes us into the next century? This 57 yr old white blue colar new Democrat wants change and encourages all democrats to unite behind the winner of this nomination and lets kick those die hard, McSameold republicans out of the White House and Washington DC.

WE WILL VOTE FOR McCAIN!!

Pat in Cali   May 19th, 2008 3:34 pm ET

Hillary's husband is a weakness. McCain's wife is a weakness. We're not electing their spouses, but some really nasty comments can be made about both of them.

It's a shame when the only way you can look good is to tear somebody's spouse down and you take a coward's approach and let someone else do it for you. What kind of war hero is that - attacking a woman to get at a man?

Hillary can't balance her campaign budget, how do you expect her to balance the national budget. Clearly that should make her unelectable.

AJ, IL   May 19th, 2008 3:34 pm ET

Brenda, CNN is in the tank for Hillary. If you want to get better delegate count numbers I suggest you go elsewhere (i.e. MSNBC or AP). The only delegate counter that matters is on Obama's website. He is within 110 total delegates of clinching the nomination!

Hillary's campaign has never kept an official count of the delegates since they figured the contest would be over on Feb. 5th!

daniel   May 19th, 2008 3:33 pm ET

Bye bye to Hillary, we enjoined your campaign while it lasted.
I think the country is turning a new leaf, to a different kind of politics.
A more civil campaign. No more "gutter politics" at least for another
generation.

When you care enough to elect the very best…………Hillary should take the offer of combining her campaign funds with Obama's……..like Hillary quoted; the results are like a hiring decision…….Hillary take the buy-out……..pay your campaign bills and save what little dignity you have left.

Eric   May 19th, 2008 3:28 pm ET

Hillary would be horrible for this country. She is George Bush in a pantsuit, sporting a slightly different agenda. Thank God she has no realistic chance left.

I'm sure Senator Obama is not perfect. He is, as we all are, human. But I think he is far more grounded than Clinton.

Good try, CNN. Rasmussen has Obama up 2 points. Why do you skew the information like this? Disgusting.

Kris Duke in Virginia Beach   May 19th, 2008 3:27 pm ET

It is clear that Obama will win the Primary battle, and the race against McPlain in 2008. George Bush should just step down 6 months early and let Obama take over now for the good of the country. The Republicans have done enough damage over the last 8 years…

Obama '08!!!

GO HILLARY!!!!!!!

Without OBAMA   May 19th, 2008 3:27 pm ET

Go Obama????

NO OBAMA!!!!!! NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

ONLY She or McCain 08′

LBowie   May 19th, 2008 3:25 pm ET

It is great that the Democratic party is now coming together to support the presumtive nominee Obama. I do plead that all of Hillary's supporters please do what is right and support our candidate. I am a democrat first, before i am a candidate nominee. Please keep in mind that the republicans have created a heap of a mess and we need someone to help our economy, foreign relations, environment, and health care issues. I don't think the republicans can do that.

Obama 08….

Ratgurl   May 19th, 2008 3:25 pm ET

Let's poll ALL of the US, and let's see who supports Obama over McCain! What? That's not 'til November?

Karen from Texas   May 19th, 2008 3:25 pm ET

Let's unite (real Democrats). We have to in order to win the White House. Stop listening to the people who are writing in these blogs posing as Democrats. They are not! Many are Republicans making these comments. I will vote for whoever the Democratic nominee is. That's the bottom line!!!!!

Tom   May 19th, 2008 3:24 pm ET

Clinton does not even know what she is talking about

Vote for Obama

Angel for Obama   May 19th, 2008 3:24 pm ET

This is great news for the Obama Camp. Change is happening and peopel are listning to the message. "YES WE CAN"

"Obama 08 enough said"

If Obama chooses Kathleen Sebilius, it's over for him. She's got skeltons in her closet - just watch and see.

Bush and him have created so many with their illegal immoral war ….
No wonder !!!!

It is amazing Farraro is willing to take a womans right to choose and not give woman a equal wage as a man to spite the country for her candidate losing an election.She is the most bitter,hateful,and detriment to women causes than any person I know.

Molly   May 19th, 2008 3:22 pm ET

Hillary Clinton is the one to beat McCain
OBam is the WEAK candidate
Let the people VOTE and COUNT them!

No - we will NOT stop saying Hillary or McCain Never obama -
because we do have a choice on the best qualified to lead our country.
Hillary is QUALIFIED - Obama is NOT

JERRY   May 19th, 2008 3:21 pm ET

the reality is … crystal clear ..obama cant win without the 17,000,000 and counting supporters…that the experienced senator and former first lady has in her pocket….and she can win.. without his… ….. fact
fact… fact… fact………fact…………… in your face obama supporters

hillary 08………………or mcain08………………………………

George M. Kesselring   May 19th, 2008 3:20 pm ET

Obama is in more trouble than he knows. I am a solid Democrat and have many friends, most of which say they will not vote for Obama. It has nothing to do with race, but his lack of experience. He has not even finished a tour in Washington, and has no idea as to what it atkes. If He is elected, we better have a good Democratic congress to save his behind….His election is very much up in the air, and we gmay get another four years of McBush….!!!

Molly   May 19th, 2008 3:19 pm ET

HILLARY CLINTON WILL CLAIM THE NOMINATION AFTER HER BIG BIG WIN IN KENTUCKY!!!

Is that all it takes - but - she does have more popular votes!!!

I have seen polls also - say Clinton is ahead of McCain by 5 pts.
but they are not on the obama cheerleading squad.

less media more issues   May 19th, 2008 3:19 pm ET

That's because that's how the media is covering it. That it's over. It isn't.

lezah2   May 19th, 2008 3:19 pm ET

I've sent an email to your editors complaining about your not allowing Clinton supporters to post. You are so unethical and unprofessional.

arnab   May 19th, 2008 3:18 pm ET

what popular vote are u talking about , Hillary has been beaten pants down by Obama everywhere , did u forget the 10 straight wins that Obama had , Go Obama

Mike   May 19th, 2008 3:18 pm ET

Still not convinced that I should vote for Obama in Nov. Yes, it sure looks like he's the Democratic nominee, but I don't yet have confidence in him. McCain is a more Moderate Republican which is why I am considering voting for him.

Mike, CT

David D Kollie   May 19th, 2008 3:18 pm ET

One thing demoncratic voters ought to know is that those who say they wouldn't vote for Obama or Hillary are not all supporters of either candidates. If you remember, some republican voters have shifted to vote demoncrat simply to impower a candidate from the demoncratic party who McCain might be able to win easily. Right now as I am concern, the Republican has not thrown ads about Hillary. This is because they know that she not going to get the nomination. The distraction now is to make D voters think otherwise.

andy k   May 19th, 2008 3:17 pm ET

that's because Hillary's supporters are moving to McCain since they feel that Hillary won't get the nomination.

Chicagoway   May 19th, 2008 3:17 pm ET

i dont buy into this claim that obama will lose because he doesnt have the support of clinton supporters. A large number of clinton supporters would not have voted in this election anyway. Take my mom for instance. In all my years growing up she never voted for anyone and she says that most of her women friends were the same way. So, there are many women who are casting votes for the first time in years. Let the hillary supporters stay home, alot of them were not going to vote anyway.

Jim   May 19th, 2008 3:16 pm ET

I was originally an Edwards supported and when he dropped out looked at Obama and decided to support him. I could never support a woman who lies and would stay with her husband who it a cheated not once but several times. I believe she only stay with him so she could run for pres. now.

Hillary Mentiluise   May 19th, 2008 3:16 pm ET

I don't understand why Hillary supporters would vote for John McCain. They are not seeing that McCain has no intention on being a champion for their cause. I think Obama can win without Hillary's supporters. he beat her. She was tougher to beat than McCain. Why wouldn't Obama be able to win without hillary's supporters. As far i am concerned they are not that smart, and they can all go to hell. We'll win without them. We already got the magic number and the winning solution.

Obama 08!

Auntie Coosa   May 19th, 2008 3:15 pm ET

The Nomination is Barack Hussein Obama's to lose.

He keeps using bullying threats, he may just dig a hole he cannot climb out of.

The "women folk" have an insight into his remarks that his supporters do not want to admit is true.

Okay, Barack, sweetie, hang on a minute and I'll answer your question.

YIKES, DYKE!   May 19th, 2008 3:15 pm ET

give it up!

Roger   May 19th, 2008 3:14 pm ET

I guess if Obama beats Hillary by a 40 point lead all of the super delegates will back Hillary like they did Obama after WV.

BHO   May 19th, 2008 3:14 pm ET

USA must need a CHANGE. That is the real message. People cry, bark or suggest racist rants never make sense at all.

I hope Americans will get their FIRST half WHITE/Black president

Terry Frakes   May 19th, 2008 3:14 pm ET

Dont have to worry on my vote. Sorry Hillary, but i can not give my support to Obama, he is not to be trusted, he is unexperienced, he is a racist and he is everything that i was raised not to be, so there for, i will have to vote for MCCain or not at all.. I am so upset, that people truelly believe this man is going to keep this country from becoming segregated…

JERRY   May 19th, 2008 3:14 pm ET

june 3… we all will know ……we all will know the real obama

charlene   May 19th, 2008 3:13 pm ET

you must be polling all of obama supports, because i dont buy it , i listen to people in geranal and they want their vote back from obama, so stop trying to push him on other, and that railly today they were there for the free band.

Oh Boy. I can hear McBillary whining already.

Obama went hard at the GOP and it forced the Dems to fall. Brilliant strategy…

I would also ask all Obama supporters to say a hateful word or two about McCain too. Preferably something hateful and mean about his age. Thank you so much.

TimeToUnite   May 19th, 2008 3:11 pm ET

Hey, Warren Buffet and a host of others have endorsed Obama today, WHERE IS THAT NEWS CNN???? Start getting with the program and reporting positive news, not divisive comments from Ferraro. Who cares at this point? It's time to move forward. Also, where is the article showing that 75,000 people MOSTLY WHITE!!!!!! Showed their support for Obama this weekend? Or are we peddling that crap that only minorities are supporting him? Even though they represent a dot on a board…meaning their numbers are roughly 20 percent of the entire population. GET WITH IT!!!!

Montana is Obama Country   May 19th, 2008 3:10 pm ET

Thomas   May 19th, 2008 3:10 pm ET

“The states I’ve won total 300 electoral votes,” she said, explaining that 270 electoral votes are needed to win in November and that many of the states Obama has won will go for John McCain then .

lezah2   May 19th, 2008 3:10 pm ET

CNN won't let Hillary supporters get our comments in–Rasmussen poll shows Obama up 2 points, one of the lowest yet.

mik   May 19th, 2008 3:09 pm ET

Do Obama buy CNN?

fayola   May 19th, 2008 3:09 pm ET

This is great. Hopefully everyone will start seeing that Obama is the one and we can get this ball rolling. Its time for Change

lezah2   May 19th, 2008 3:07 pm ET

Good try, CNN. Rasmussen has Obama up 2 points. Why do you have to show your ignorance by doing such dishonest things as skewing the news. Disgusting.

uko   May 19th, 2008 3:07 pm ET

The press say's Obama campaign, but I say Obama movement.
This is a movement, it is not a campaign. It is a rapid development of people and ideas toward changing the politics in Washington.
Watch out for a wide margin over McCain.

Kevin   May 19th, 2008 3:06 pm ET

Does anyone really care who Geraldine Ferraro votes for? Geraldine, please find a large rock and crawl under it .

BREAKING NEWS:

HILLARY HAS LOST THIS NOMINATION. THE WINNER IS BARACK. GET OVER IT CLINTON SUPPORTERS.

kent   May 19th, 2008 3:05 pm ET

i'm sure this is going to turn into another 20 pages of comments like: "if hillary loses i'm voting for mccain" or vice-versa. seriously guys, this isn't a popularity contest. regardless of who becomes the democratic nominee, democrats need to unite behind him/her. stop being childish/sexist/racist and start acting in the best interest of your country.

Dylan   May 19th, 2008 3:05 pm ET

Clinton supporters -

I understand your unyielding devotion to your candidate. You're free to support her as long as you want, BUT the small-minded, short-sighted and petty "if not Hillary then McCain" comments need to stop NOW.

If this nation is forced to endure four more years of endless bloodshed in Iraq and a Supreme Court stacked with right-wing ideologues who can't wait to overturn Roe, you'll have no one to blame but yourselves.

Democrats, as Lennon once said: "Come together. Right now…"

It's raining men!   May 19th, 2008 3:05 pm ET

You could be costing us the election.

Super Delegates should vote NOW.

Joe from PA   May 19th, 2008 3:04 pm ET

Now what is Hillary's argument for staying in? Will it be she is better looking? She holds a better record when playing Parcheesi? Her grades were better in high school?

I guess she will have to go to her original underlying argument that she had the whole campaign which is - I AM ENTITLED TO THE PRESIDENCY AND NOBODY CAN TAKE IT AWAY FROM ME

Farrell, Houston, Tx   May 19th, 2008 3:04 pm ET

Democrats let's not forget whether you are for Hillary or not, she is still one of ours and we need her to help take Obama to the presidency. We don't need to talk negative about her no matter what she says, the proof is in the count. Obama will defeat John McCain.

rupa   May 19th, 2008 3:04 pm ET

hi
i am soo happy that . I hope obama wins and becomes president. I wish macain had a heart attack or something he is such a dumb m.u.f. Mcain doesnt have any special experince. Obama has better judgement than mcain old v young.

Debby   May 19th, 2008 3:04 pm ET

1,261 voters thats all they polled????? They don't even include the states they conducted it in. 1.7 million people voted in Florida and Clinton won most of them and their votes aren't even being counted.

Keith   May 19th, 2008 3:04 pm ET

It amazes me to see how many people in this forum (primarily Obama supports) are acting like Middle School children, poking fun at the other candidate.

Hal   May 19th, 2008 3:03 pm ET

Howard Dean must have a gun at the head of these Senators who are giving their vote to Obama in stead of going with the will of the people in their state. WV is a good example of that. Clinton won that state by a wide margin. If you are a Democrat you could just as well not vote at all. No wonder so many are not voting . I will leave the Democratic Party and become a Republican and be proud to join where your vote counts. The DNC has just ruined the party with all the caucuses . It should be just the vote of all the people.

maya   May 19th, 2008 3:02 pm ET

Well, then Obama should win both states tomorrow by large margins- if he is such a strong Dem Candidate and we are all falling in line with him. I mean, the media have all proclaimed him the winner- let's see some winning!

I'll hold my breath.

KCD   May 19th, 2008 3:02 pm ET

How about that… so tell me again (ridiculous) Clinton supporters… who is more electable? How many times to stats and facts have to slap you in the face before you wake up?

AJ   May 19th, 2008 3:01 pm ET

Has anyone noticed that CNN stops comments when they might be critical of Obama when they reach a pretty low number, but ones that seem to be attacking Clinton go on and on? I'd like to make a comment regarding his whining about people making comments about his wife. She's the one who has been opening her mouth saying pretty stupid things during the course of the campaign. If Obama is going to cry about negative comments made about her, he should be keeping her at home. It's not just Obama who will be representing America but that wife of his also. Forgive those of us who feel that both Obama and his wife are arrogant, unpatriotic low- rent trash, but we have the right to speak out too.

Pat   May 19th, 2008 3:01 pm ET

I am not voting Democrat. I have never been so disillusioned and I have a college degree. Imagine that!

Lorna, NY   May 19th, 2008 3:01 pm ET

I think Hillary has a serious mental issue. How can you be a world leader if you beleive it's your way or the highway. This is all about Hillary now and not about democratic party or the American people.

Mary   May 19th, 2008 3:01 pm ET

This poll may or may not be correct. It depends who is paying for the poll and the desired results wanted. Worked for political party for 8 years and know how numbers can be varied.

Marty   May 19th, 2008 3:00 pm ET

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Obama forever!   May 19th, 2008 3:00 pm ET

What a wonderful time to be alive! Obama will lead us to the promised land. He is such a revelation and I can't understand how all of you who support that witch can't see Obama for the blessing that he is. I don't know where our great nation would be without such an amazing leader. There is something truly special about him that inspires me with such hope.

President Barack Obama in 2008, 2012

rachel   May 19th, 2008 3:00 pm ET

After suggesting that the primary was over weeks ago does this surpised anyone? If barrack wants to bring the dem party together he has lots of work to do and hes just not getting it yet. Complaining about his wife beign attacked wont bring it together especially when voters know that Hillary has been attacked the same way and Michelle has been the one who attacked her several times. POST CNN

Kate   May 19th, 2008 3:00 pm ET

Way to go, Obama!

Former Obama Supporter   May 19th, 2008 3:00 pm ET

This is only because the media is counting Hillary out and saying that she has no chance. This cause Americans to just give up and say that they are going to vote for Obama. If media coverage was fair and balanced, then the polls would be different.

Jagdish , Vancouver,Canada   May 19th, 2008 3:00 pm ET

just the beginning……does Hillary know this ??

shamous mc   May 19th, 2008 3:00 pm ET

doesn't matter.
The only polls that matter are the polls that matter to her.
She still has the popular vote…she said so.

bill from pa   May 19th, 2008 3:00 pm ET

It's time for Clinton to pack up her show and go back to New York. Anything she does from now until the convention just enhances McCain's chance of winning.

vw   May 19th, 2008 3:00 pm ET

hillary is spewing out, shes a vile - corrupt human and so is her

followers of bigots that are nothing but divisive

Joanna, Oregon   May 19th, 2008 2:58 pm ET

Obama's achilles heel is MIchelle—-he puts her out on the campaign trail but gets hysterical when she is criticized—–well, duh, don't put her out there—

Hopefully more Republicans like our friends in Tenn. will remind people that although she is not proud of her country, she managed to take $4.2 million out of the economy last year.

McCain08′

Freida NYC   May 19th, 2008 2:58 pm ET

The only reason he has such a "lead" is because the Obama camp and the media has already crowned him as the dem nominee. But, that is far from true–Hillary has the popular vote. As Hillary says "this thing is far from over!" There you have have it!!!!

Hillary all the way! :-)

Brown   May 19th, 2008 2:58 pm ET

Good. Everyone must admit these polls are a joke! When Obama is doing well the poll reflects that. This is the same for Hillary. Every other week the polls show something new, so who cares?

Obama is the winner. Lets move on.

Alice Jones   May 19th, 2008 2:58 pm ET

Sad thing is I wouldn't care if Obama or HIllary got the nom, what's really sad is that if Obama gets it, the people who are saying they will vote for him, will turn around and vote for McCain :(

Anything is better than McCain. Even though I like McCain, I don't think he's the right person for president. If Hillary could find some place to put Bill (a monastery comes to mind), I might consider voting for her in a later election - 2012 or 2016. It'll be interesting to see if the Democrats can come together to win this election in November.

Tim   May 19th, 2008 2:54 pm ET

This is awesome!!!! CNN can you tell us why Geraldine Ferraro I at the top of the Political Tinker. Sen Bryd's endorsement of Senator Obama and the fact that the Gallop poll has Senator Obama 16 points ahead of Senator Clinton for the nation should be #1 and #2. Stop your bias…please. Just do your job and report the news!!!

Roger   May 19th, 2008 2:54 pm ET

Consider that the writing and this the wall. It is over Hillary and time to reconcile behind Barack "the democratic nominee" Obama!

Nope-Dems are too Stupid   May 19th, 2008 2:54 pm ET

McCain will win in November. Dems are doing to themselves what they have been doing to the rest of the country…being divisive and calling each other sexists and racist at every turn.

I bet it sucks Democrats..to be on the receiving end of your own crap!!!!

And when which ever communist candidate you bring forth this November loses, you will blame each other…and your party will never again be the same.

And the rest of the God loving country can be forever be rid of you loony liberals!!!!!!

McCain in 2008/Iraq in 2013/Iran as soon as they want to come get a piece of us!!!! and Venezuela while we are at it!!!!!

Maybe we can get some focus now with the larger margin and get to the general election….I know Hillary doesn't want to show she is a quitter BUT please go away you said you would once their is clarity in who is the nominee and we are almost there. Please let us citizens of the US get onto making this a Democratic election not a Republican again.

Where are the Hillary poll lovers. You didn't want to believe the number (most delegates won, most states won and popular vote), now the polls and numbers match. Don't let your anger, hate, or hostility
