All the women voting against Clinton are the BIG LOSERS.

I am a 60 year old WHITE women who has had enough of all this ….At one time I thought I would vote for Hillary thank God I havent yet….She might inspire some women but all this give it to me ,I want it ,It should me mine ,I am the queen has got on my every last nerve,,,
Just a spoiled Rich women who wants more and more…I would rather VOTE for Obama and take my chances Than vote for someone who doesn't mind distroying The party to get her way….

Shawn:

My point was not based on how Obama and Hillary did against each other in the swing states, it is based on the latest polling data as to how Hillary vs. Obama does against McCain in those states. The current data has Hillary winning against McCain vs. Obama losing against McCain in Florida, Michigan and Ohio with PA too close to call.

Agnostic Democrat   May 28th, 2008 7:31 pm ET

Again, Hillary's argument out the window and totally baseless. Primary results and current "polls" reflect nothing upon the general election. Look how many contests McSham lost to Huckabee in the south after he was the "presumptive" nominee.

Colette   May 28th, 2008 7:29 pm ET

And this woman thinks she can unite the country. What a joke! When Obama got the majority of the pledged delegates, she should have left graciously — a word she does not know obviously. She is as stubborn and more arrogant than President Bush — quite an achievement!

Mary WA   May 28th, 2008 7:29 pm ET

Why are we still talking about Clinton? She doesn't respect rules, voters, or the Kennedy's.

Turnabout is fair play   May 28th, 2008 7:26 pm ET

"gary May 28th, 2008 4:39 pm ET

OBAMA WILL LOOSE AGAINST MCCAIN WITHOUT HRC. THAT IS THE FACTS. THE HATE THAT HIS SUPPORTERS HAVE DID TO THE CLINTONS AND HER SUPPORTERS ARE GOING TO HAUNT THEM IN NOV. IAM PRAYING THAT HRC GOES INDEPENDANT AND SAYS THE HELL WITH HELPING O.B. O.B. HAS BEEN GIVEN THIS NOMINATION BY THE MEDIA, DNC, AND SUPER DELIGATES. ITS BEEN A FIXED RACE AGAINST HRC. SHE WINS A STATE AND THE SUPER DELIGATES GO TO HIM. HOW FIXED CAN YOU BE. IF O.B. DOSN'T PICK HRC FOR VP. IF HE IS NOMINATED ,BECAUSE OF HIS HATING SUPPORTERS, HE WILL LOOSE IN NOV. MCCAIN IS MORE QUALIFIED TO BE OUR LEADER. US CLINTON SUPPORTERS WILL MAKE SURE HE WINS."
========================================================

See, this is the kind of uneducated backwoods idiot that Hillary attracts, fools like "gary" here who post in all caps cause he doesn't know how to turn CAPS LOCK off and then spouts brainless crap like an outhouse-born retard. Is saying Barack Obama's name as "O.B." supposed to be some sort of slander against him because it's lost on us educated types like myself. Hillary will NOT go independant because it will effectively end her political career when she does and Bill will not let her do that. You are as ignorant as Hillary hopes you and millions of other easily led sheep are and you fit her demographics perfectly. You and all those idiots who keep threatening to vote for McCain against Barack Obama better remember one thing, if you do that to him now, we WILL do the SAME THING TO HILLARY in 2012. You better think hard if you have half a brain because turnabout IS fair play.

Hillary has not strategy or argument other than her exit plan.

Coquelicot   May 28th, 2008 7:23 pm ET

I'll bet a $1,000 she will continue to repeat she lead Obama and McCain forever. After all in her delusional state of mind …..

David from Ohio   May 28th, 2008 7:22 pm ET

Hillary loses some of the states that Obama wins based upon current polls. Obama also wins most of the big traditionally blue states. My state is filled with idiots, so it goes red in November. Clinton's claim that she is more electable is ludicrous–if she manages to steal the nomination as she plans, she has zero chance against McCain in the fall.

SlapStick, FLORIDA   May 28th, 2008 7:22 pm ET

Someone better tell this to Clinton because yet again at another Rally she is still smoking the Wacky Tacky saying that sources shows that she is the stronger candidate. I am still searching polls to find out where is she looking.

McCain 08

An American in Canada for David   May 28th, 2008 7:21 pm ET

Hey Reggie

If Obama steals the nomination McCain will get over 10 Million of Clinton votes.

And we will never ever support Barack H. Obama that is for sure.

You Obama supporters, just do not seem to understand for all of your pseudo-intellect (LOL) we will never get in line.

We will all become Independents and vote for McCain, better a strong senior man than a weak younger person such as Obama.

Y   May 28th, 2008 7:20 pm ET

@ Chris,
A better way to say it would be;
50% of Loser's supporters may not vote Winner
30% of Winner's supporters may not vote Loser

Y   May 28th, 2008 7:14 pm ET

I thought Hillary said she was leading Obama in the general against McCain. I guess she was using her customized calculator again.

Vegas Dave   May 28th, 2008 7:12 pm ET

Hillary is the candidate to beat McCain. Obama's only advantage is that he' black and has had a free ride from the media thus far.

Richard   May 28th, 2008 7:12 pm ET

When the democatic primary is finaly over Obama's numbers will go way up. McCain is an old fool, anyone who listens to him speak knows that.

minerva62   May 28th, 2008 7:08 pm ET

Hillary only shows strength in how ridiculous she can be. She's giving the Dem. party a bad name. This, "I can't quit" or "fighter" mentality of her's only works with Bill because the public is ready for this to end. She isn't looking at her actions realistically. She would like to say that people want her to continue her fisght and thats only because she's staying away from the news. She should accept that she has lost and stop shaming herself , have some pride. The public has a long memory, she may forget but we won't.

jp/michigan   May 28th, 2008 7:02 pm ET

I have 3 choices come this November. 1. write in Hillary as the nominee for President! 2. vote for McCain. 3. stay home and do not vote. Obama is not a choice.

HILLARY HAS THE POPULAR VOTE!!!!!!   May 28th, 2008 7:00 pm ET

I THOUGHT THAT HILLARY WAS COUNTED OUT?
SEEMS LIKE BY THESE POLLS SHE IS NECK AND NECK WITH OBAMA?
HMM?

WHY CANT OBAMA PULL AWAY?

THE PEOPLE OVERWHELMINGLY WANT HILLARY!!!
THIS IS WHY SHE WINS THE BIG STATES NEEDED IN NOVEMBER!
OBAMA WILL NOT GET THEM!!!
IF OBAMA GETS THE NOMINATION McCAIN WILL BE THE NEXT PRESIDENT!!!!

Got it, jot one more down in the Moron column. Julie, we dont care anymore, you are just a statistic now.
Vote how ever you want. Dont care.

Josh   May 28th, 2008 6:58 pm ET

Obama's success is bringing out two things, racially, in this country:
1. It shows how far we have come in the last few decades, but
2. It is also bringing out the nasty racial prejudice and bigotry that still exists. Here in Nebraska, I have overheard someone making disparaging racial comments about having an African-American president.

Obama is not only inspiring and very intelligent, but he is "tested" and "ready" — just as much as HRC, really. Race and gender should have nothing to do with it, but I guess they still do for a lot of ignorant Americans.

YOU CAN'T POLL POLLS!!!!! ANY scientific poll must have a margin of error. You are once again misleading the public!
—————————————————————————————————

Though it is true the "Poll of Polls" has to have a margin of error, the error applies to all three candidates. It doesn't subtract (for arguments sake) 3 from Obama and add three to Clinton… although I am sure that is how Clinton would "calculate" it…

Vera Richardson   May 28th, 2008 6:54 pm ET

There is no doubt in my mind that Hillary will reject any resolution proposed by the DNC on May 31, 2008. Bill and Hillary will not only reject the resolution but also seek court intervention. Therefore, the only way to prevent the total destruction of our party is for the undeclared superdelegates to end Hillary's blind ambition for her.

Senator Obama played by the rules and won this race fair and square. He won more state elections and most importantly more pledged delegates than Hillary.

Obama needs to reach the current 2025 or 2026 number of delegates needed to secure the nomination before Bill and Hillary Clinton file their legal challenges in court and/or Hillary executes her planned nuclear option. You can't wait. Democratic Party leader and undeclared superdelegates must pledge their support for Senator Obama before May 31, 2008.

Senator Reid, Representatives Nancy Pelosi, and Shelia Jackson-Lee, Governor Edward G. Rendell, President Carter, and Al Gore PLEASE endorse Senator Obama today and unite this party. The urgency is now. Again, I say you can’t wait until May 31, 2008.

Democratic Party leaders please don't wait until May 31, 2008, or for the primaries to end on June 3, 2008, to declare that Senator Barack Obama is the Democratic Presidential nominee. The urgency is right now!!!!!!!

Tim   May 28th, 2008 6:54 pm ET

3 Days until the FL/Mi outcome prevents a path to the nom for Hillary
3 Days until the HRC campaign goes nuclear, taking it to convention
6 Days to nomination of BArack Obama when he wins SD, Montana
6 Days to watch the Clinton Supporters twist in the wind in denial
6 more days of McCauliffe pulling imaginary rabbitts out of a hat
6 more days of dwindling arguments for why she should stay in
7 Days until the Superdelagates come out for Obama and end this
7 Days until Hillary decides to go to the convention and destroy the dem party

tick…tick….tick

I agree with you Jb. I couldn't have said that better myself!

Ryan L   May 28th, 2008 6:50 pm ET

Hillary Clinton recently called this a 'historic election.' Its only historic to her because she's in it. She states she cannot understand all the pressure to quit when even least politically savvy can see its really hurting the dems chances in November. She says she's more electable and yet this poll and several others show both she and Obama beating John McCain. She says the math is on her side when the average fourth grader could tell you differently and be correct. And now when even her closest supporters cannot make any of their so-called facts (fabrications) add up to her nomination, they announce its all a conspiracy against her.

Time for a reality check. Not for her, for us. I think we've had enough of a President who cannot accept the truth when it does not suit their agenda. We've had enough of fuzzy math and false reports whose only purpose is to hide the truth. And I think we've had plenty enough of a President who only surrounds themselves with advisors who ardently support such policies regardless of the facts and whom only say to the President what the President wants to believe. Lets turn the page on these administrations. Its time for us to move on with our common agendas and put all of these divisions behind the American people. We owe it to ourselves.

Voice of Reason   May 28th, 2008 6:47 pm ET

Hillary may be a good candidate, but she's a lousy campaigner. She had a lead in all the polls last year, and she lost it to Obama. The Superdelegates will make a big mistake if they give her the nomination based on 'electability'. She may be leading McCain in some polls now, but based on her 'experience' as a campagner, she's liable to blow that lead too.

Jim   May 28th, 2008 6:46 pm ET

National polls are meaningless…… "IT's THE ELECTORAL COLLEGE, stupid!"

Obama will not beat John McCain b/c of Ohio, PA, and Florida where the demographics (including 1/2 of DEMOCRATS) rejected Obama

Bill, Florida   May 28th, 2008 6:46 pm ET

These polls are pointless. The popular vote doesn't win the general election, the electoral votes do! Although undemocratic (as our nomination process is), that's how the system works! A new Gallup poll shows Hillary performing better in the crucial battleground states. Hopefully the super delegates will see this, and act accordingly, lest we endure 4 more years of President McBush.

Hillary '08 & '12

"It took a Clinton to clean up after the first Bush, and it'll take a Clinton to clean up after this one!"

Patrick   May 28th, 2008 6:45 pm ET

Folks. We need a join ticket. I am an Obama supporter. You guys aren't thinking clearly. The party is split 50/50, neither has a majority. Imagine what we can do together. This country is in deep deep trouble. All of this talk about voting for McCain if Obama or Clinton do not win is absolute nuttiness. Think about it. You can kiss abortion rights good bye, gay marriage? What's that? 4 more years of war, gas prices, home foreclosures, food cost increases, how many republican administrations does it take for America to get a clue? OBAMA CLINTON '08. Let's heal. Lincoln brought on his rivals. I know Obama can do the same. They both want great things for this Country and love this Country. I KNOW for a fact I am right about this. This is a split electorate. Like it or not, we need a dual ticket. We don't just need to win this election, we need a landslide, largest in history to show the Republicans that what happened the past 8 years is NOT Ok.

Anonymous   May 28th, 2008 6:45 pm ET

All you Hillary folks act like you are hurting Obama by not voting of him! Well the fact of the matter is Obama will be OK. He would have achieved what only a few people have and he has raised hundreds of million of dollars. He doesn't have to worry about sending his kids to college, paying his mortgage or getting an abortion. So go ahead and vote for McSame all you won't…….I bet you will feel the results before he does!!!!!!!!!!!!

Helena   May 28th, 2008 6:45 pm ET

So much for Hillary proclaiming she's ahead in all the polls. For a breakdown of all polls go to RealClearPolitics.com. Obama is leading in all categories.

35 Southbound   May 28th, 2008 6:43 pm ET

Party Divided, sad!!! She will take it to the convention, lose, and run as an independant. She is not planning her Primary exit stratedgy, she is planning her Party exit stratedgy. Seriously think about it, if President Clinton is accusing the idea of a Cover Up, to go as far as to hurt the party. I used to preface all my blogs with a "I will vote for Hillary if not Barack," but I can't do that anymore, you all make me sick, both sides of the house, I will never vote for so and so or I will stay home or I will write in or I will vote McCain. You people are ridiculous, this is the biggest election of our lifetime and to think Clinton is at this point driving it apart. She doesn't have to get out but at least try to play fair, which is a stretch. Some of her recent days say to me, she will go for the White House, Democrat or not. I am frustrated and dare I say becoming disenfrachised, again. All you negative, nasty bloggers, grow up or live with the consequences!

Farrell, Houston, Tx   May 28th, 2008 6:40 pm ET

MCCAIN WANTS OBAMA TO GO TO IRAQ WITH HIM FOR A PHOTO OP. WITH MCCAIN'S MILITARY EXPERIENCE HE SHOULD KNOW OUR TROOPS HAVE MORE THAN ENOUGH RESPONSIBILITY TO ONE ANOTHER THAN TO WALK AROUND GUARDING HE AND OBAMA. MCCAIN'S HEAD IS SO BIG HE THINKS IT'S ALL ABOUT HIM. HOW DARE HIM PUT OUR TROOPS IN FURTHER HARMS WAY FOR HIS PERSONAL PHOTO OPS.

Nick   May 28th, 2008 6:37 pm ET

I just want to know what polls Clinton is looking at. She said Obama is more likely to lose vs. McCain. Is she polling her rallies? Quit trying to ruin him. You said, Senator, you will support the Democratic candidate, do it. I will say it and won't go back on it, You are looking desperate.

Abraham   May 28th, 2008 6:36 pm ET

The reason I choose Obama to be president of united States america is that he didn't vote for war of Iraq,he knew that Bush didn't have enough evident that can justify WMB in Iraq.Get my vote Obama08

John May 28th, 2008 4:42 pm ET

The Obama supporters and pundits should not hang on blaming everyone,inorder for Obama to win the nomination.It is true both contenders are doing everything to win.That is typical presidential election process.It is unfair when one contender who has been given a easy ride,turns around to blame the opponent of doing everything to win.

I agree except you have one tiny little word wrong in your tirade it SHOULD read " The CLINTON supporters and pundits should not hang on blaming everyine, in order for Clinton to win the nomination…" hey but other than that it looks okay.

aw   May 28th, 2008 6:33 pm ET

I honestly thought I was going to vote for a democrat no matter what this year, but If Clinton ends up with the nomination based on Florida and Michigan, I just can't bring myself to do it. It is dishonest and unethical for those votes to count when everyone had agreed that they would not early in the election. More Clinton dirty politics.

William, Ca.   May 28th, 2008 6:31 pm ET

In this election, is there any doubt of the out come………Be careful, of what you wish for……It could get worst………………………..

voter   May 28th, 2008 6:29 pm ET

Of course it's unlikely that Clinton will get the nomination, you sexist elitist pigs running the Democratic Party will see to that. What would be the reaction if we had racist remarks at the level we get the sexist crap? What if someone referred to Barack's organs or put out a tap dancing doll? I bet you boys would be all over it. I'm voting McCain because he hasn't yet revealed anything like the misogynistic views of Democrat "king" makers. If he turns out to be a woman hater, I'll vote for Nader, or I won't vote at all. I don't give a flying one what happens to the Supreme Court, Iraq or the economy. I've lived through these things for most of my life, and I'll just keep on going.

Debbie   May 28th, 2008 6:28 pm ET

The fact that the polls are so close given the negatives that the Republicans have brought to this election cycle is not a good sign in a year that the polls should be showing the Democratic challenger up by at least 20 points. But that's okay. Let's disenfranchise FL and MI and then let's be condescending to Hillary's supporters because they'll all come around and vote Democratic because they are Democrats. Keep dreaming. Give us issues with specifics and substance instead of mirrors and illusion. Give us respect as voters that quite possibly we are doing a little of our own research and haven't sipped the kool-aid. November may be very interesting.

Obama Will Smith Lose May 28th, 2008 4:32 pm ET

If Obama wins the Dem Nomination:

All of the uneduacated simple white Democrats that you, Howard Dean took for granted, will be voting for John McCain for President.

While that might be true if Hilldog steals this selection from the one who has played fair and won it despite all the racist moronic sexist attacts against him by shillaries campaign all us educted, reasonable, thoughtful independants, who KNOW that the prosperity (good times for you clintonistas) of the Clinton years had less to do with Bill clinton than they had to do with Bill Gates will vote for Mre. McCain, even though we do not like his policies we trust him, somehting we cannot say for mrs pantsuits, and we will trust in our government of checks and balances to keep him in line. So we will vote for Jonny boy and a democratic legislature. no way will we allow this lying b**ch of a monster into our whitehouse!

Not sleeping at the switch   May 28th, 2008 6:21 pm ET

WOW Look at the second post down…on a thread that is about the FACT that Obama can Beat McCain it says Remember Obama Can't beat McCain

How Can A Hillabot be so uneducated that they can't READ but they can TYPE?????

I worry about the mental health of these people

NickNas   May 28th, 2008 6:19 pm ET

So much for Clintons argument eh??

She is out of this conversation and has been for weeks. Obama and McCain are running against eachother and she is attacking Obama. Hillary is over and yelling like a child at two people in a fight and she is on the sidelines calling names.

Edith Arkansas   May 28th, 2008 6:14 pm ET

They say that Senator Obama can't beat McCain in November how about those sweet apples he is now leading in the poll of polls McCain only staggering defense against Senator Obama is he is not experience to handle Iraq. He is more than have the expertise to handle all of the Commander In Chief job. If McCain is so experience why did he support the Iraq decention in the first place. Former Bush PRESS spokeman Scott McCelland has now spilled the beans and they are scrambling on how to make it go away. I don't think it will. This news will most likely call for an investigation and the truth will come out. Those democrats would be direlict of duties if they didn't investigate. It has got to be more truth than not I don't believe he would write a book like that if he could not back it up. The GATES OF BUSHGATE IS NOW OPEN an is now on the table..

cool   May 28th, 2008 6:06 pm ET

hillary i thought u r the only one that can beat MCBush but i guess u have lied to ur support again wow and u guys want someone like that someone that voted for war ????? i dont get it yet u guys always say she has exp??? whats the whole point of hvaeing exp when u dont no how to use it or dont learn anything new ?????

OBAMA is our BEST hope!   May 28th, 2008 5:59 pm ET

To all the "fed up Dems" and "white women for McCain" Not a chance do we believe a word that comes out of you! Obviously you’re a ploy by the right wing nut jobs to suggest the Dems offer something other than a positive change for this country!

Huh???   May 28th, 2008 5:59 pm ET

To those who say they won't vote for Obama because he won't win… What kind of a dumb reason is that? Do you only vote for winners?? Maybe if you vote for him he will win!!

Sherri   May 28th, 2008 5:59 pm ET

We have 2 candidates that can beat McCain. That is great news for the Democrats. Now Democrats, are you going to defeat yourself by jumping ship and voting for McCain? Please think about it before you saddle our nation with a third term of Bush and company. Neither Hillary or Barack would ever want you to do that.

Republican for OBAMA!!!   May 28th, 2008 5:58 pm ET

Hillary or bust supporters, If you can’t see whats best for the country and put your lousy pride in front of true american patriotism then just stay home! America doesn’t want your vote!

Hillary! stop cheating, stop lying, stop flipping on whether the delegates should be seated only when it serves you!

Its over! Youre hurting the Democratic party and ultimately hurting America! Pack it up and go home!

OBAMA 08!

GO HOME HILLARY!!!   May 28th, 2008 5:56 pm ET

It’s obvious the right wing nut jobs are trying their hardest to debunk Obama by sighting whatever they can, pretending to support Hillary so they won’t have to face the best candidate come this November.

You can expect a lot more of this from the right because they know their time is nearly up, and it couldn’t come soon enough!

Obama 08!   May 28th, 2008 5:55 pm ET

Hillary supporters, don’t betray this country and the democratic party. We need a change from how this country has been run for the past 8 years. Hillary would have been a great president but Obama will be just as good or better.

Swallow your pride and realize the bigger picture. We NEED this now more than ever! Don’t divide and fall, let us stand tall and concur this political catastrophe the republicans have gotten us into.

Obama! Our NEXT president!   May 28th, 2008 5:55 pm ET

Hillary supporters. Valiant effort, but the game is up. Don’t do the disservice to this country by trashing Obama. He's the best person for this country right now and the people have spoken on that!

Democrat for president 08!

What if?   May 28th, 2008 5:50 pm ET

From NBC/NJ's Mike Memoli
CLINTON ARGUES NATIVE RIGHTS, ELECTABILITY
KYLE, S.D. — In a somber speech before a small crowd on the Pine Ridge Indian reservation, Hillary Clinton again pledged that Indian Country “will have a seat at the table in my White House.” She also argued that the “ultimate question” facing primary voters is which candidate can win in November.
…………………………………………………………………………………………………….
“IN MY WHITE HOUSE“, not OUR White House.
Are there any Native Indian employed by Senator Clinton now if so can someone tell me the percentage?

Interestingly, as Republicans have begun criticizing Barack Obama for not having visited Iraq since 2006, Clinton mentioned that she has visited both Iraq and Afghanistan with the Arizona senator. Her last visit was in early 2007.
…………………………………………………………………………………………………….
By CHOICE Senator Clinton, Once you return as the Senator of New York, we ENCOURAGE you to continue your visits. President Obama may be planning a visit very soon, you may be able to accompanying him when he goes to Iraq and Afghanistan .

“I don’t run for president because I need any more publicity,” she said. “I don’t run for president because I need the adulation or the celebrity. I don’t run for president to live in the White House again. … I run because I believe that we can do so much better in our country, and that the unkept promises are corrosive. They undermine trust and accountability. They begin to eat away at what should be the relationship between our people and our government, and between government to government in Indian Country.
———————————————————————————————–Again; please check with the voters in New York who voted and are still waiting to see past promises.

“So I’m here to make a solemn pledge, a pledge I have done my best to honor already as your first lady and as a senator, a pledge I will continue to honor as your president. I will be your champion. I will fight for you. I will stand up for you. And I will work my heart out for you.”
———————————————————————————————–
Tell them the truth you didn’t win to be their President…..

Ryan   May 28th, 2008 5:50 pm ET

also, McCain is not an issue….my niece could beat him in a debate….and she's 3.

Steve from California   May 28th, 2008 5:49 pm ET

Looks like McCain is gaining. However these polls do not reflect the electoral college. Obama seems to show a little weakness in the states Democrats need to win to attain 270 electoral votes. Hillary Clinton's wins in the big states is significant. Obama's primary wins in the red states of course do not mean he'll win those in November. Florida and Michigan are probably out of reach with the DNC debacle. Clinton's claim she's more electable is probably correct. However, it doesn't matter as Obama will get the nomination. Can he beat McCain? We'll see.

Donna Hughes   May 28th, 2008 5:49 pm ET

Maybe if Mccain wins the Democratic party will know that a lot of Democrats don't want a far left leading their party. Also about being educated, it isn't your education that counts but your IQ. I know a lot of people that haven't been to college but has done just fine. The far left people are all so NASTY!!!!!!!! We should all learn to disagree without getting so nasty. Also most of our country was built on the backs of the every day joe. It was our generation that provided you with the chance to get your higher education. it would be nice if you all learned to show some respect for your elders. They have lived through a lot and are the ones that have the wisdom. I hope to think I have gained knowledge from living. I went through the school of hard knocks and believe me that is an education on life. I find the obama supporters to be an arrogant bunch. Through these Blogs I have decided I am no longer a Democrat and I come from at least 6 generations of Democrats. My ancestors would be ashamed to be called Democrats also.

Chi4Obama   May 28th, 2008 5:44 pm ET

This poll obviously did not include voters in Kentucky and W. Virgina (smile).

Remember Harry Truman?   May 28th, 2008 5:44 pm ET

In the 1948 Dem primaries, he was considered the "loser" all the way up to the convention. Nevertheless, he worked his behind off, crossed the country twice by train, talked to the voters about real issues at every whistlestop. His opponent, Dewey, sort of "brushed" him off while delivering "canned" speeches with the big bucks supplied by his supporters. Guess what! Harry woke up the morning after the election THE WINNER! The voters really are NOT stupid, after all. GO ALL THE WAY, HILLARY!

JB   May 28th, 2008 5:42 pm ET

To all of the uneducated "hard working white people" that Hillary so proudly touts as her supporters:

Newsflash:

If Hillary won a State in the primary, it doesn't mean Obama can't win that State against McCain in the general election. Do some research and figure out how this thing worked.

And to those who complain that blacks are voting for Obama. If you are a democrat, it didn't seem to bother you that 92% of blacks always vote democrat. Is that wrong, and do you hear Republicans whining about that.

All of you Hilliots need to grow up and come to grips with the fact that you lost. Now get in line and support Obama. Or are you going to cut off your nose to spite your face. Truly dumb!!

Reggie   May 28th, 2008 5:38 pm ET

Hey Julie, If Clinton cheats and gets the nomination, my vote is for McCain…how about that for a change. If Obama gets it, Barack Hussein OBAMA is my candidate!!!

hmmm   May 28th, 2008 5:38 pm ET

Chris May 28th, 2008 4:39 pm ET

Simple Maths my friends
50% of Clinton supporters will NOT vote Obama
30% of Obama supporters will NOT vote Clinton

Now those who can add (so called educated Obama supporters)
Now you know why and how Clinton is more electable than Obama
____________________
its not a matter of electability, my friend. the reason more Obama supporters would vote HRC if (God forbid) she was the nominee, is because we are smart enough to realize that ANYTHING is better than another 4-8 years of republican rule. And sadly many HRC voters who are bitter over their candidate's loss still haven't figured that out.

David, Santa Rosa, CA   May 28th, 2008 5:37 pm ET

Mickey Mouse would poll better than McCain. It will be interesting to see how the McClellan book effects McCains numbers (if at all).

January will not be here fast enough for me. We're gonna see some crazy stuff over the next 7 months… mark my words. GW and Dick have not taken our souls yet.

Put Bush/Cheny/Rove/Libby on trial for war crimes and treason!

Extinct   May 28th, 2008 5:35 pm ET

How about this? Obama represents the Democratic party. Done deal McCain is a lame duck, so he's got to be replaced immediately as the Republican candidate. Hillary becomes the Republican candidate. She used to be a Republican anyway. This way we can have a head-to-head, powerful, dynamic, authentic race for the U.S. presidency by the two best qualified candidates, Obama and Hillary.

Obama represents the Democratic pary. Hillary represents the Republican party. McCain goes home, or Iraq, whichever he chooses.

Julie   May 28th, 2008 5:34 pm ET

What about taking a poll of my vote. It's for McCain if Obama gets the Democratic nomination. If Hillary gets it, I vote for her. So add one more count for Hillary.

Chi4Obama   May 28th, 2008 5:32 pm ET

Note to CNN,
I don't understand how your "Poll of Polls" contains "0″ sampling error. Yes, it is true that your poll averages data, among many different polls. However, if all of those polls have a certain degree of "error"; how is it that your poll does not.

In fact, almost every poll has a certain degree of error. Including yours. If you don't believe me, just compare the data from your "Poll of Polls" to the actual "results" from the Democratic primaries.

But on another note. Obama '08.

Good point. Except that the contests in all those swing states you mentioned was between Clinton and Obama, not between McCain and Obama. The latter might have MUCH different results.

Eric Thornley   May 28th, 2008 5:30 pm ET

Enough is enough. Hillary needs to drop out now. She is only hurting the chances the Democrats have right now to beat McCain in the General election, and from my perspective, those chances are quite good.

Give the man a chance, if he doesn't do good, then you can run in 2012 and will have plenty of support then.

Hillary supporters, stop, think for yourself for at least five minutes.

Those who don't understand the electoral college don't understand Hillary's argument.She wins the Electoral college though they both might poll the same numbers.Obama might get 100 percent AA votes and lose by lesser margin in red states with large AA DEMOCRAT voters.But Clinton can win the bigger states and win the election even if she losses by a wider margin in the red states..

Hillary run as a third party candidate,you have my vote and wallet.don't let the loudest segment of the party take this party hostage.

To ALL of the HRC supporters that will NOT VOTE FOR OBAMA :

This must mean that you are in support of:
1) A never ending war that has cost us over 4,000 lives.
2) A candidate that admits he doen't "know much about the economy"
3) George Bush (squared)
4) Non Universal Healthcare
5) A 71 yr. old candidate, that on occasion resembles "Mr. Potato Head".

Just keep these points in mind, when you plan to vote against Obama in order to spite the Democratic party.

Poll of Polls vs Reality   May 28th, 2008 5:18 pm ET

CNN everytime you quote your Poll of Polls, I go look at the real data. What I saw on Real Clear Politics is Obama leading Hillary in EVERY SINGLE MAJOR POLL.

Numbers are numbers…facts are facts. Opinions are a dime a dozen so just quote the facts please.

Hank Wilfong Jr.   May 28th, 2008 5:17 pm ET

Hillary Clinton is "history". She will NOT be on the ballot in November. So why the insistence on polling how she "would" poll against John McCain?

Tell you what. Since we're hypothecating, why not see how George W. Bush would poll against John McCain. Clinton has as much chance of running against McCain as does his partner in policy, George W.

Also, why not take a poll to determine whether she ought be his McCain's running mate. Her and her husband have been kneecapping Barack Obama so much already. Why not make it official?

obamamama   May 28th, 2008 5:16 pm ET

He never sponsor any legislation,never had any hearing on a subcommittee he heads,3 month after winning his senate seat he runs for another office.other than that I have no problem with Obama.he is great at his job..don't let this empty suit fool you.not been to Iraq in 2 years? no problem,a speech can solve anything.now where is that speech.

Patrick   May 28th, 2008 5:13 pm ET

Everyone needs to remember, HRC critics included, that the election is based on a state by state result, not a national result. One could have a greater national vote, but still lose the election – case in point – Gore in 2000. If Obama is unable to win Ohio, Pennsylvania, Michigan and Florida as the some current polls suggest, he can't win the election. Those states have 85 electoral college votes – 30% of the total needed to win, whereas the states that people think Obama may capture from the red column have very few electoral college votes – less than 5% of the electoral college votes. Obama fans should be concerned that he only won the equivalent of 221 electoral college votes to Clinton's 303 and it takes 268 to win. That is the reason why Clinton has a valid point.

Chris In California   May 28th, 2008 5:12 pm ET

Well, I'm glad to see CNN corrected this article – and finally decided to add to the article to now include Hillary Clinton instead of leaving her out as was earlier done.

Obama 08

T L   May 28th, 2008 5:07 pm ET

The problem of Obama is that a lot of his votes are in smaller states. Those votes will heavily collide with McCain's for a smaller number of electoral votes. That leaves typically democratic states vulnerable. The % is there, but the votes more localized in the states in which you can't win, those votes won't get you the electoral votes. Even if you win those red states, you give up the blue states. Clinton has less of those votes, her number is more solid. By winning OH, PA, and FL, plus AR, that almost guarantees the white house. Polls may not be entirely accurate, but they do reflect something. Look at NC, Obama blew Clinton by 14 pts in the primary, but he most recent survey for general election shows that Clinton has a much better chance to win NC than Obama. It doesn't help if you can't get the votes from the other party. Clinton can get more women from the GOP to vote for her, there just aren't many African Americans in GOP for Obama. That's why Clinton keeps claiming she's more electable. Both Obama and Clinton are playing dirty, just Obama has his aides did the dirty work, the Clintons say things themselves. Clinton is desperate and hungry for power, but she does have the knowledge and a more thoroughout plan. Among the 3 candidates, she is the most capable to turn this country around. Inspiration just won't do right now. Change conservatively is the right move at this point.

Dan, TX   May 28th, 2008 5:07 pm ET

The Clinton supporters are saying they'd vote for McCain over Obama.

That's why McCain should be killing Obama in the polls.

Once Hillary endorses Obama, he'll have a 10 point lead. Any fool knows this.

I have said time and time again Obama is as much competitive with McCain as Hillary is. And tha's just because Obama is new to the national scene while Hillary and McCain are old cargos. Give Obama time to present his case to the American people and he will win this election come November but only if Hillary can get out of the way.

scdemocrat   May 28th, 2008 5:03 pm ET

paulie_nj, YOU ARE A PROPOGANDIST AND AN IDIOT. If Obama is a Muslim, then I guess the Rev. Wright issue was just made up. GET OVER IT CLINTONITES, Hillary LOST and will NOT be our nominee. Time to get to the business of beating McCain. To all the Clintonites who say the Obama supporters are mean, maybe you should read the posts on here from your fellow Clinton supporters and re-think your opinion on that matter.

Now I See   May 28th, 2008 5:03 pm ET

Hillary's plan is really very straight forward. If she stays in as long as she can one of three things will happen:

1) She gets the nod from the superdelegates
2) She divides the party enough that the only way to beat McCain is to add her as VP
3) She muddies the Dem waters enough that Obama doesn't beat McCain thereby fulling her prophesy and setting her up for a run in '12

She has never been about what's best for anyone but her.

mary, Dallas, Tx   May 28th, 2008 5:02 pm ET

I guess I will vote for McCain because Hilliary supporter are such liars and are willing to believe anything. – NOT.

Why would you be so stupid as to vote for someone who will continue to make your living conditions worse? I say to those who say that they will not vote for Obama, then don't vote for him. Who is it going to hurt. Not Hilliary, Bill, Michelle or Obama but it may hurt you, your family and your friends. Let's take a step above stupid.

The DNC rules stripping Florida and Michigan made Obama not contest Florida and Michigan, so how can Obama who played by the rules be made to punish by giving Hillary popular votes and an increase in delegates? If Hillary was any other candidate at this juncture of the race, she'd be run out of the race, but everybody, including the media, is allowing Hillary to bully them into giving her what is not due to her. Let the media expose Hillary for being a disagreeable contender who, as President, may agree with world leaders on issues, and then conveniently change her mind if it suits her. The woman is a National Disgrace!

Dean   May 28th, 2008 4:57 pm ET

I am appalled at the obvious paid off people who are writing in support for Clinton on almost every CNN blog using a variety of underhanded tactics – such as "if not Hillary than McCain," "She's the only viable candidate," "the only one that can beat McCain", and various other derogatory comments made about Obama – and whats eerie about all of them is that they are all very similar in style – almost automated in their nature and say the same thing across the entire forum. And like clock work they appear under every ticker post.

I fear people will buy in to this stuff thinking it's real people. It seems to be a concentrated effort by the same group. I'd like to know whether CNN is seeing the same IP address posting these messages.

It is not the national polls, it is the polls in the states that are toss up in November where Hillary is leading (Ohio, Florida, West Virginia) so CNN needs to stop being misleading so that Obama can be nominated and McCain can be elected like all the rich shareholders at Time/Warner want. It is the electoral college, not the general election. Remember 2000? Are we so lazy to think? Are we that short-sighted? Democrats need to borrow from Bill Cosby's latest book "Come on, people". Wake up.

To Ronnie – It sounds like you are trying to shove Senator Clinton down our throats. How are the superdelegates trying to push anyone on you? Senator Clinton is the one behind in the delegates that were VOTED by the people. Two states where neither candidate campaigned and one did not have Senator Obamas name on it is being shoved down our throats. Senator Clinton and her campaign (with two of them who made the decision, Ickes and Flournoy – to strip those delegates) are now trying to change the rules. I didn't vote for Senator Clinton and never will. It has nothing to do with race, gender or anything. I've done my research and I just don't trust Senator Clinton. She changed her campaign them for every state, dismissed the small states, called the caucus' illegal, and then expects those same people to vote for her. Her campaign is the one at fault for her position now. They let her down. If the shoe was on the other foot, Senator Clinton herself would be applying enourmous pressure for Obama to drop out and you know it. To his credit, Senator Obama has stayed out of that, and his campaign manager has not called for her to drop out either. True, some supporters have stated, but they are not official campaign personell. I'm not advocating she drop out, but in my view she is the one tearing the party apart.

elias   May 28th, 2008 4:39 pm ET

the media gave a free ride to obama all this time, and she is still standing, now the republicans will play with him like a toy in november, when the result comes out a lot people will look fool, these polls are favorable for clinton and less for obama, alot of people has to start to behave nice with senator clinton, without her there is no win for the dems.

gary   May 28th, 2008 4:39 pm ET

OBAMA WILL LOOSE AGAINST MCCAIN WITHOUT HRC. THAT IS THE FACTS. THE HATE THAT HIS SUPPORTERS HAVE DID TO THE CLINTONS AND HER SUPPORTERS ARE GOING TO HAUNT THEM IN NOV. IAM PRAYING THAT HRC GOES INDEPENDANT AND SAYS THE HELL WITH HELPING O.B. O.B. HAS BEEN GIVEN THIS NOMINATION BY THE MEDIA, DNC, AND SUPER DELIGATES. ITS BEEN A FIXED RACE AGAINST HRC. SHE WINS A STATE AND THE SUPER DELIGATES GO TO HIM. HOW FIXED CAN YOU BE. IF O.B. DOSN'T PICK HRC FOR VP. IF HE IS NOMINATED ,BECAUSE OF HIS HATING SUPPORTERS, HE WILL LOOSE IN NOV. MCCAIN IS MORE QUALIFIED TO BE OUR LEADER. US CLINTON SUPPORTERS WILL MAKE SURE HE WINS.

What if?   May 28th, 2008 4:39 pm ET

Well no need to say more…..

Ty   May 28th, 2008 4:39 pm ET

Hillary's argument has been flushed down the toilet.

Chris   May 28th, 2008 4:39 pm ET

Simple Maths my friends :)
50% of Clinton supporters will NOT vote Obama
30% of Obama supporters will NOT vote Clinton

Now those who can add (so called educated Obama supporters)
Now you know why and how Clinton is more electable than Obama

JT Johnson   May 28th, 2008 4:39 pm ET

So this means that when the democrat party splits and shreds, the polls will be McCain 75%; Obama 25%?????

Seth   May 28th, 2008 4:38 pm ET

Keep an eye on Clinton and her supporters. Every day they sing a different tune.

Prior to her coming out saying she would lead in popular votes, she and her supporters were claiming superdelegates should vote their conscience. Now they are saying that superdelegates should vote their constituencies.

They will say and do anything, on any given day to get this nomination. And they expect that people want a president who is SO shady, and blatantly disingenuous?

Jason P. from Orange County   May 28th, 2008 4:38 pm ET

"THE REASON WHY OBAMA HAS ONE PERCENT OVER HILLARY IS CAUSE OF HIS BLACK SUPPORTERS.

Hillary Clinton 2008/2012″

And the reason Hillary has so many supporters is because the cast majority of this country is filled with uneducated morons.

Jon   May 28th, 2008 4:37 pm ET

And why did you leave out Hillary in that poll??????????Not that I support her. I will vote for anyone but B.Hussein Obama………

FactCheck   May 28th, 2008 4:36 pm ET

> WE WILL REMEMBER IN NOVEMBER!

Good for you… and remember the next four years when you are jobless, homeless, without healthcare and paying gas prices out the wazoo.

bridgette   May 28th, 2008 4:35 pm ET

That kind of defeats Hilary's whole argument doesn't it. That was her purpose for staying in the race. Let's put this to an end and move on the general election. I think the media, Obama, McCain, Democrats, and Republicans are here already. I think the only one that is not there yet is Hilary. I even think Bill is their. He just does not want to come home and get a frying pan in the back of his head. It's over and it is time for the country too move on to the general election.

MST   May 28th, 2008 4:34 pm ET

Most of us still remember when Saddam Hussein was caught by coalition forces, he was still saying "I am the President of Iraq", Milosovic said similar after reality caught up with him, so no wonder Hillary and Bill are still telling people "I am winning, I have the most popular vote…" Un fortunately, people tend to be in denial up till the end! It is sad, but we have seen it many times, after the people have spoken for a CHANGE (Romania, Serbia, Iraq, Iran, etc)!

Batman   May 28th, 2008 4:33 pm ET

If we all vote together for our party then anyone can beat McSame. I cant wait for the DEMS to bring back my cousin from Iraq

susie   May 28th, 2008 4:33 pm ET

I wonder who these people are they polled. The last one was 400 people.

Michael   May 28th, 2008 4:33 pm ET

That 10% unsure worries me. That usually means they are against Obama.

Obama Will Smith Lose   May 28th, 2008 4:32 pm ET

If Obama wins the Dem Nomination:

All of the uneduacated simple white Democrats that you, Howard Dean took for granted, will be voting for John McCain for President.

So chalk up another loss for Deans Dozen. I would rather die than vote for Obama. All of my Democrat friends say the same. In reality I am glad, because Dean you turned your back on us, shoved Obama down our throats, now we're throwing up.

Seems like you old school Dems, Dean, Kennedy, Dodd, Kerry really pissed us off this time. You turned your back on the Democrat's most viable candidate, Hillary. Now we are going to return the favor. I am going to turn my back on YOUR CHOICE Howard Dean, and will be voting Republican for the first time in my life.

At least I know McCain is a patriot, has pride, and shows and has shown his loyalty to his country. Therefore I will vote for McCain with a smile on my face.

Hillary or McCain………….take your pick.

yardstylze   May 28th, 2008 4:31 pm ET

Then where the heck is HIllary getting her numbers from.

Shawn   May 28th, 2008 4:31 pm ET

I WILL VOTE FOR MCCAIN AND 100 MORE YEARS IN IRAQ AND $10 GAS AND OVERTURNING OF ROE VS WADE EVEN THOUGH I AM DEMOCRAT….AND EVEN THOUGH OBAMA AND HILLARY'S POLICIES ARE NEAR IDENTICAL….

BECAUSE…

BECAUSE…

BECAUSE…???

OBAMA SUPPORTERS ARE MEAN!

Harerta Tesfa   May 28th, 2008 4:30 pm ET

Folks, let's forgo our party rules and select our nominee based on these schizophrenic polls. One Clinton is beating McCain, the next is Obama's turn. The only consistent fact is Obama is sticking to the rules he agreed upon, Hillary is flip-flopping every day.

neverobama   May 28th, 2008 4:30 pm ET

Hillary should have been the only choice!!!

Obama is a joke!!! Get him and his ugly wife out of here!

VOTE ANYBODY BUT OBAMA

Addis - observer   May 28th, 2008 4:30 pm ET

… this country believes in Polls?? these polls are not scientific; right? and.. above all the sample they take is very negligible… "driven by polls, not by principles" .. that is what i am witnessing…

HerbTee   May 28th, 2008 4:30 pm ET

Hmmmm…wasn’t Hillary Clinton spouting off in Montana earlier today telling everyone within earshot of her shrill screech that Senator Obama will lose against McCain? Once again, this woman proves she can bold-face lie while looking directly into the cameras with a straight face. June 3rd can't come soon enough so we can finally get rid of the Wicked Witch and place Obama in his earned place as the Democratic nominee. Hit the road to hope Hillary…Hope, Arkansas that is!

Obama/Webb for 2008 OR Obama/Sebelius for 2008

Liar, Liar pants on fire   May 28th, 2008 4:29 pm ET

so I thought Hillary said she has the majority votes across the board and she can win against McCain?

Such a liar.

SlimSista   May 28th, 2008 4:29 pm ET

TO RONNIE…

SO WHAT DO YOU CALL HILLARY WHO IS TOURING ALL THE STATES? HOW BIAS YOU ARE…….WRITING HILLARY'S NAME ON THE BALLOT STILL ISN'T GOING TO GET HER ELECTED….

UNIONDALE, NEW YORK

Annette   May 28th, 2008 4:29 pm ET

Senator Obama lead will only increase as he travel throughout the states. These polls are showing that fact.

smw   May 28th, 2008 4:29 pm ET

Could the Hillary supporters please answer one question: if the situation were reversed, would Hillary suggest that the convention nominate Obama because her lead was unfair? If the answer is no, go stuff it.

TunnelVision   May 28th, 2008 4:28 pm ET

Hmmmmmh!!! This poll of polls suggests that her latest remarks in Montana saying that he is more likely to loose in the General Election are not only incorrect but they actually refer to her…

Hillary will win Puerto Rico with ease. Bill Clinton ensured that by releasing 16 Puerto Rican FALN Terrorists from prison inorder to secure her Latino vote in New York. Clinton wins in Puerto Rico even if she isn't on the Ballot go figure.

She can't do anymore damage to Obama. He's still standing cause more of America is educated than Sen Clinton anticipated

wwf   May 28th, 2008 4:28 pm ET

Yeah, write in Clinton's name. That is really go to show everyone. Show everyone how big a fool you are. The blood of Americans will be on your hands and on the hands of every Democrat that votes for McCain just because Clinton did not win. As Hillary would say, "SHAME ON YOU".

daniel   May 28th, 2008 4:28 pm ET

If Hillary drops and campaigns aggressively for Obama, his lead
over Cain will just take off. That'something to think about Hillary if you dnot
want to loose the White to a Repubcan. Mayou could even be the VP.

Obama will win.   May 28th, 2008 4:27 pm ET

OBAMA FOR PRESIDENT.
SIMPLE AS THAT.

marouf   May 28th, 2008 4:25 pm ET

obama is the best

Il voter   May 28th, 2008 4:24 pm ET

This is Dem election year. Both Dem candidates are exceptionaly good.
But this year even if dems decides to contest Dog, that will also win against Big Mac.

Vig   May 28th, 2008 4:23 pm ET

In terms of averting another 9/11 – Clinton or McCain are the better choices then neophyte and puffed-up Obama. The "group think" mentality that has over taken certain segments of the voting public and endorsed a celebrity candidate, which is what Obama amounts to, put us all at risk for another national disaster.

John   May 28th, 2008 4:23 pm ET

Obama can not beat McCain. You do not fool us press.

martin   May 28th, 2008 4:22 pm ET

if hillary would drop out ,obama would lead by more.unfortunately,she will insist on taking this to the convention,and further dividing the nation.how sad that our politicians insist on lying to the american people and people still vote for them.i will have a clear conscience,when i vote for president obama ,in the fall.the rest of you can live with your shame if hillary or mccain are elected.

Felly   May 28th, 2008 4:22 pm ET

What do you expect? This is a good year for democrats with all the White House scandals of George Bush, Dick Cheney, Karl Rove and McSame.

Johnny   May 28th, 2008 4:21 pm ET

Not a good day for Clinton to make an electability argument.

Jerry   May 28th, 2008 4:21 pm ET

Look at this Hillary how you going to tell us that Obama cant beat McCain check again Hillary goodbye Clintons no more of you as our president na na na na na goodbye Hillary

fred2..since another stole my name   May 28th, 2008 4:21 pm ET

The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Wednesday shows that John McCain attracting 47% of the vote nationwide while Barack Obama earns 43%. McCain has been “ahead” by at least two percentage points on four of the last five days

Cornell grad for Hillary   May 28th, 2008 4:21 pm ET

For all the Obamabots on here who keep trashing Hillary and her supporters, remember the old saying that an ounce of honey will get you alot further than a gallon of vinegar. Obama's supporters are full of hatred and are the main factor in preventing HRC supporters from getting behind Obama. I know that I will be voting for McCain come November. FYI – I'm a male graduate from Cornell University, so think twice before casting all HRC supporters as ignorant racists. Those types of accusations are exactly why I will never ever vote for Obama.

steve in mn   May 28th, 2008 4:20 pm ET

The results of this poll sort of makes it rain on Hillary's parade, doesn't it? We all know, however, that she'll manipulate things any way she can to server her own purpose. This is what we've learned to expect form her. Kind of like George Bush, huh? This isn't the person we want in the White House.

Steve   May 28th, 2008 4:20 pm ET

I wonder how Clinton will spin this one.

Probably they will say that McCain picked up 3% on Obama but picked up only 2% on her.

noemi in los angeles   May 28th, 2008 4:19 pm ET

My vote is for Obama. If Hillary wins fair and square, I'll vote for her. However, if Hillary STEALS the nomination from Obama, I'm not voting in this election.

Flander Annapollis   May 28th, 2008 4:19 pm ET

When Hillary spouts about being ahead in every poll, she just lets the people see that she is still lying, distorting, and being BAGDAD BOB

Linda31   May 28th, 2008 4:18 pm ET

Has Clinton seen this poll??? Oh, I know its not one she well count. Especially since Obama leads by a larger margin.

Jimbo   May 28th, 2008 4:17 pm ET

This is more spin from CNN trying to stick up for Obama and show he can win. Realisitic people know he has a better chance of losing than winning and this is a year which should be a Democratic landslide. He is going to struggle to win Michigan and even PA. Michigan is going to come back to haunt him in Nov since he blocked a revote there. He won all the red states which are going for McCain in Nov. It just goes to show you how screwed up the nomination process it. It allows for the nomination of the weaker candidate. It's going to be John Kerry and Mike Dukakis all over again…

Concerned mother of a 14 yr old!!   May 28th, 2008 4:17 pm ET

What does Hillary have to say now? This is one poll that says Obama can win against McCain more than she can? Again Hillary, what polls are you referring to?

ab   May 28th, 2008 4:17 pm ET

Here is one thing to remember about all polls….. regardless of whom the numbers benefit. Ask yourself… how many people was in that poll? 100? 1000? 10000? 1000000? Think about this when you are considering the 'polls'. It means very little if the polls were not conducted with the majority of the people voting. By the way.. you are going to get different results based upon demographics!

Obama '08

Kathy   May 28th, 2008 4:16 pm ET

My question to the “under 30 generation” who for the first time in their lives “found their voice”… in Obama…..where have you been? Why not until now have you not exercised your right to vote? You place your faith in a man who has not been tested, pocesses little record of accomplishment and little to no experience in international or economic matters. Go back and check the record…Obama released his platform weeks after Clinton released her Solutions For America agenda. His were extremely similar to hers. The Clinton campaign reacted to the release of the Obama platform by saying…”at least his is not that different than ours” So I ask you, what does this man stand for when he copies what it convenient to his campaign? For shame!

Life to you folks seems rather simple. I suppose in your minds, Obama offers a sense of entitlement both for himself and his supporters — your/his time has come. The simple fact is that if you look past his rhetoric there is little substance. You buy into his chant of “change..yes we can” with little thought or experience as to the complexities involved in bringing about change. Some of you worship him like he is a “messiah”, here to save us from ourselves. He may in fact be anointed the nominee, and you like him, will think nothing can stop you. The simple and relevant truth is……. One can fool some of the people some of the time…but not all the people…. all the time.

McCain may represent a party for which I may not find a lot of common ground however, I respect his honor, integrity and sacrifice to our country, the scars of which he still bears as a testament to his courage…. And I will place my hope for change in him.—he is not Bush… He has earned my respect and most likely my vote and the votes of millions of others who feel the same way.

For the sake of our country and that of our future….thank god there are more of us than you, and we will not allow this fantasy to continue past Nov. DNC party chairs and uncommitted superdelgates…..you either stop this false prophet now….or we will do so with our votes come Nov.

And to all those, Obama supporters, who have previously responded to my comment, or wish to now I say this…you are being fooled by the joker himself-Obama. Study up on your American history….this man will put up a pretty decent fight, however in the end, he will join the ranks of Kerry and other far-left liberals….bitter and clinging to his religion wondering why he came so far only to have the door slam shut on him.

Dennis   May 28th, 2008 4:16 pm ET

And yet, Senator Clinton would have us believe that Senator Obama is losing to Senator McCain.

Matt--Nebraska   May 28th, 2008 4:16 pm ET

'

Notice the emphasis that CNN puts on Obama AND Clinton both leading McCain.

But they don't put any emphasis that their margin has narrowed since the last 'Poll of Polls'.

Dishonest Journalism 101.

McCain is gaining momentum. After the DNC steals this nomination from Hillary, McCain will put Obama behind him once and for all.

Responsible, Honest Change.

McCain '08!!

jim t   May 28th, 2008 4:15 pm ET

of course both clinton and obama are beating mcshame

BUT OBAMA IS STILL WHOOPING CLINTON!!!

IF NOT OBAMA THEN MCCAIN, NEVER CLINTON

OBAMA '08 – '16

Ted van Tol   May 28th, 2008 4:15 pm ET

It seems that Obama can beat McCain and the campaign is
not even started yet.
With a litle luck McCain will endorse Barack Obama when he had a few debates with him. Obama will lead America to a better futere and
the old politics are finely over. Thats not only good for America but it
will effect a lot of countrys in this world.
Barack Hussein Obama, black, "no-experience", not even fifty years old and leading the election for President of the USA.
This man must be something special, and he is!
Americans you do not realize how blessed you are with your new President. It realy is a miracle and we in Europe are even more
enthousiastic than you are. But that will change soon I know for sure.
Be proud and protect this man from evil.
He will bring change, yes he can!

With love, from the Netherlands

Veterans support the candidate that supports you…that would NOT be McCain….He is a traitor to Veterans!

thegoreyears   May 28th, 2008 4:13 pm ET

HRC: "And based on every analysis of every bit of research and every poll that’s been taken and every state that a democrat has to win, I am the stronger candidate against John McCain in the fall."

Umm, no.

Tell the truth   May 28th, 2008 4:13 pm ET

The pools mean nothing right now. The Dem or split right now. When there is just Obama aginst McCain this will turn about 10 points for Obama. Obama or Hilliary could and will beat McCain.

Chi4Obama   May 28th, 2008 4:12 pm ET

Interesting. This should be a troubling sign for the Repbulicans.

John McSane has not even been fully vetted yet as a candidate. He has literally been running "unopposed" within his own party for months. Wait until ALL of his negatives are microanalyzed once the General Election starts.

Whereby the Democrats have been battling tooth and nail driving up each others' negatives for months. But yet after Rev. Wright, Sniper Fire, and "Bittergate". It's interesting that, both candidates still poll better than McSane in the General Election.

On a side note, I am just drooling to see Obama rip apart Grandpa McSane in a one on one debate. Can't wait for the General election to begin. I'd say that June 4th would be a nice start date :-)

Democrats unite.

Plainsman   May 28th, 2008 4:12 pm ET

Kind of kills Clinton's argument that she is more electablte doesn't it. Go home Hillary

Eric   May 28th, 2008 4:11 pm ET

Well, there you have it. Where is Hillary's argument that she is more electable if polls show that she and Obama do equally well against McCain? And don't tell me popular vote shouldn't matter… if it had, we wouldn't have had to deal with 4 years of Bush.

Lindsay   May 28th, 2008 4:11 pm ET

Could you please make sure Hillary Clinton gets a copy of this information?

Xavier, St. Louis, MO   May 28th, 2008 4:10 pm ET

Like I say about all polls, they change like the wind. I know Obama is leading and will beat McCain in November. However, I don't know why the polls still has Hillary name on it. She's toast! History! A has been! Finished! Game Over for her! She lost! Good Riddens!

Also, she can kiss her VP chances goodbye, especially with her comments about RFK and Obama will lose to McCain. If he lose, her name still won't be on the ticket.

M in MN   May 28th, 2008 4:09 pm ET

How are you going to spin this one, Hillary?!?

IHH   May 28th, 2008 4:09 pm ET

OMG Karl Rove said Hillary is more electable. Bill the liar says she has earned this. God says Hillary walks and water and parts the Allegheney River, while doing a beer and a shot and duck hunting too. OMG. The hags say Hillary must be ordained because the ERA failed and they need something to placate their old, bitter, babyboomer selves.

Linda from Prescott   May 28th, 2008 4:09 pm ET

Obama will win the general election.
Hillary will probably still be running after the election.
I have to say I've never seen anyone so determine to redefine new math, old math, no math….it's all about her. It hurts me to think that I once supported HIllary, she has shown me that she would be the wrong person to elect…who the heck could in good conscience could vote for a perswon who has been caught in so many lies or mis-states, cannot manage her own campaign fund and is not concerned with the party or country as a whole but merely with hers and Bill's entitlement to a Hillary Presidency.

Go Senator Obama…..we are behind you.

Lake side   May 28th, 2008 4:09 pm ET

This proves that Hillary Clinton is a shameless liar for saying she is leading by more in the general election.

And she wants to cheat the process by using rule-breaking primaries in Michigan and Florida.

I will never vote for a liar and a cheater.

tren   May 28th, 2008 4:09 pm ET

Take that Clinton!

NELSON   May 28th, 2008 4:08 pm ET

All the speculation of people switching parties and not voting for Obama vs Hillary, is exactly that. I believe Obama is going to get the most votes ever in the General Election from republicans as well as democrats. Americans want change.

unite the dems   May 28th, 2008 4:08 pm ET

well there goes the last pathetic argument from the clinton camp that she is more electable. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE NO MORE CLINTONS, NO MORE HILLARY, NO MORE BILL. PLEASE SUPERDELEGATES, SEND THEM HOME. THEY ARE DIVIDING OUR PARTY AND ARE TRYING TO HURT OBAMA'S CHANCES SO THAT SHE CAN RUN AGAIN IN 2012.

Rob   May 28th, 2008 4:08 pm ET

So I guess that ends the claim that only Hillary can Beat McCain in November huh

Peter Damoah-Afari   May 28th, 2008 4:08 pm ET

Meaning, Obama is equally electible. He is currently leading, so where lies the argument of Hillary to stay in the race?

Bart   May 28th, 2008 4:07 pm ET

Electoral colleges matters stupid.

Clinton 08   May 28th, 2008 4:07 pm ET

As for my vote between Mccain and Obama i'm voting for neither. I will NEVER vote Republican and NOT vote for Obama for one reason and one reason only. I use to say if not Clinton then Obama, well because of this recent Clinton supporters bashing Obama supporters have been doing. "no wonder, only old uneducated people are voting for Clinton". Well excuse me last time I checked i'm a 21 year old University student, and i'm smart enough to realize Obama will not win the nomination in November.

Wait for it...   May 28th, 2008 4:06 pm ET

cue the HRC crew….POLLS DON'T MATTER…Where did they poll these people?? I don't care!! Obama is a poopy head and I won't vote for him!! NO NO NO!! We want the GIIIIRLLSS TO WIIINNN WAAAAH WAAAAH WAAAAHH!!!

Y'all know polls only matter when they say what Hillary's people want them to say.

CNN – please pay attention the daily adjusted rules.

Where's the truth   May 28th, 2008 4:06 pm ET

As promising as this is and as happy as it makes me, does it take into consideration the electoral map,or is this just the popular vote? As we saw in 2000 the popular vote wasn't enough with an Electoral College that favors the Repulbican in the race. Start showing a poll that takes the electoral map into consideration and I'll start reading into it.

Farrell, Houston, Tx   May 28th, 2008 4:06 pm ET

Chris In California   May 28th, 2008 4:05 pm ET

More misogyny, CCN???

What's the reason you left out the stats for the female candidate in this article? First, Jack Cafferty and others who are allowed to make what certainly sounds to me like sexist statements about a woman with continual misogynistic attacks, disrespect, and disdain against Hillary Clinton (and, in my opinion, ALL women as a result) and then you put her name in the title of your article but only list the two MALE candidates in the race along with the "unsure" percentages in your list of the "National General Election Poll of Polls?"

You've turned into TABLOID TELEVISION, in my opinion! I have not seen ANY true journalistic integrity from CNN or MSNBC in months. FOX provides a more rational, honest discussion for viewers/readers even though I am a Democrat and even though CNN has always been my source for news.

NO LONGER! As a woman, I do not tolerate the out-of-hand dismissal of the female candidate in this race, despite what your personal biases may or may not be!

Debby   May 28th, 2008 4:05 pm ET

McCain is catching up to both of them. This isn't good for Obama if he is the nominee especially in those rural counties where McCain will probably get the votes. Hillary has a better chance than Obama with McCain plain and simple.

B - NYC   May 28th, 2008 4:05 pm ET

Notice how the media down-plays Senator Clinton's lead… Think about it, she is tied with Barrack Hussein Obama (dare we not speak his full name) with the press beating the crap out of her and one fourth the money he has…
She is in fact a true leader and will not quit for us…

Can someone name just five things that Obama has done for his state or our country?

No… You can't because he has not…

Clinton or McCain-Never Obama   May 28th, 2008 4:05 pm ET

CNN – you really need to get better proofreaders. Where is Hillary's name where the total percentages are shown?

CNN please help the American people. You cannot stand by and let Hillary Clinton disenfranchise our party without standing up for the people. I think it is absolutely ridicules how this woman is making up fairy tales and over exaggerating on every level in order to win. I will not vote for her if the DNC gives the nomination to her by stealing it away from Obama. He has won in both popular vote and delegates and now superdelgates. She wants the people's vote to count who only voted for her. She had no problem with caucuses until Obama started t=winning them. How is it far to count primary votes but not caucus votes? How is any of this far. HILLARY CLINTON is ruining any woman's chance of ever hold this high position.

Hillary For President   May 28th, 2008 4:05 pm ET

THE REASON WHY OBAMA HAS ONE PERCENT OVER HILLARY IS CAUSE OF HIS BLACK SUPPORTERS.

No McSame   May 28th, 2008 4:05 pm ET

After what we heard today about Bush and the boys and yes McSame is a part of it, I should be able to beat McSameAs Bush. WAKE UP PEOPLE.
Obama is our hope. We the People can put a stop to this. It is time to put a stop to the lies and send Bush back to Texas ans to retire John McSame before it is too late. We have a chance to CHANGE all of this right now. Only a FOOL would would vote republican. What are they trying to do to the name and reputation of this great country.

People want change. It's hard to deny that. It comes down to who's going to lower my grocery bill, honestly.

“She is likable enough.”

Deb   May 28th, 2008 4:04 pm ET

Hillary is Unelectable !!!!

Millions and Millions of people won't vote for her because of what she's done to this campaign. Clinton's are a disgrace.

Conservative Buyer- CA   May 28th, 2008 4:04 pm ET

There goes Hillary's claim she's more electable. The poll of polls also suggested recently Obama is up 13 percent from Hillary and up from 7 percent as he was previously.

PAR   May 28th, 2008 4:03 pm ET

It is abundantly clear that John McCain is the only beneficiary of this long drawn out democratic primary. If the democratic party is to win in November we need to rap up this nominating process in early June.

MJE WPG   May 28th, 2008 4:03 pm ET

Hillary,please explain how you can keep trying to BS the American voters that Obama can not beat McCain in the general election. The only sure thing is that Obama has a far better chance of beating him than you.
Please take that useless excuse of a husband and just go home to ????????????.

Crush Rush   May 28th, 2008 4:03 pm ET

44%?These people want more of the same?They must be saddistic.

George, Los Angeles   May 28th, 2008 4:03 pm ET

If Obama is the nominee – this will all be a moot point. McCall will definitely win in November.

Elisabeth   May 28th, 2008 4:03 pm ET

I really start to believe that the ongoing nomination procedure is RACISM. The Democratic party (DNC) are so over-excited by the light from the rest of the world and are so eager to show the world that the United States of America are able to elect a biracial candidate as President of the Union that they forget descency, electabilty, fairness and its own foundation – DEMOCRACY and EQUEL treatment.

This fact might contribute to the disaster which will take place in November when the Republicans will be the winner in the General election…. !

LOU- OBAMABOTS WILL ATTACK YOU   May 28th, 2008 4:03 pm ET

OBAMABOTE are all out today . they had a lot of koolaid today , so they stinking the place with thier burps and stinky thinking

Debbie,NJ   May 28th, 2008 4:03 pm ET

Let's see what kind of conspiracy theories Hillary and Bill come up with now. This isn't the first time he beat McCain in the polls. The polls normally only got reported when Hillary was on top. It's about time CNN did some fair reporting.

Kenneth M   May 28th, 2008 4:03 pm ET

PUT THAT IN YOUR PANCE AND SMOKE IT.

NO-BAMA   May 28th, 2008 4:02 pm ET

HILLARY IS STRONGER –ACROSS THE BOARD — CONSISTENTLY — IN BATTLEGROUND STATES — AND WILL CLOBBER McCAIN IN A GENERAL ELECTION….

KEEP FIGHTING 4 US HILLARY ! :)

Berat, Park Ridge, IL   May 28th, 2008 4:02 pm ET

YOU CAN'T POLL POLLS!!!!! ANY scientific poll must have a margin of error. You are once again misleading the public!

Tim   May 28th, 2008 4:02 pm ET

Kinda throws a wrench in that more likely to lose argument, doesn't it???

Obama 08/12

Jason, Texas   May 28th, 2008 4:01 pm ET

Well, could you please send this to Mrs. Clinton. She's a moron.

Tony   May 28th, 2008 4:01 pm ET

Interesting very interesting. At the end of the day nobody in their right mind wants McAnotherBush in office. He can't really campaign as a man on his own with those Bush tax cuts he voted against and now he is 1000% for them. This never ending War ( didn't we claim victory 5 years ago?) he claims he wants a victory. Did we claim victory in Vietnam? We lost that War and the writing is on the wall we lost this War. Let's make sure we don't put this Bush clone in office unless you want your grandchildren fighting this 100 year war!

Geraldine Coleman   May 28th, 2008 4:01 pm ET

Way to Go Obama- We are with you all the way. SUPPPPPEERRRRR!

End primary now   May 28th, 2008 4:01 pm ET

If democrats think they will solve Hillary problem by pleasing her they are mistaken. Giving her any advantage in Fl or MI will make her more difficult and she will hold till convention.
Fl and Mi delegates should be seated 50/50 without reference to the primary in January. Any other formula will make the party weak on setting any rules in the future. Hillary needs to be out by 6/3

Venus   May 28th, 2008 4:01 pm ET

This is great! Hillary is not going to like this poll! Neither will the Gov. Rendall of PA! But I love it!

Hey Hillary – who is stronger to beat McSame?

Go Bam!

fairandstraight   May 28th, 2008 4:01 pm ET

The 10% that is unsure will come on over to the Dems when they realize what McCain meant when he said, " I will never surrender to Iraq." As he laughed as if he had said something cute.

The reality of the thing is, it doesn't matter how many points our front runner wins by, just as long as the republicans are out of control.

I wonder what the Clinton's will say now?

Stay strong Obama and maintain your cool.

somewhere in the US   May 28th, 2008 4:00 pm ET

Please, people, can we end this now? Hillary has thrown every trick out there and it has failed. I am an Obama fan and would like to see him win the General. And for all of the Hillary people saying I'll vote for Mc Cain if not her, then you better think really hard about it. My town had one of our own killed over the weekend in Iraq.

ChicoSez   May 28th, 2008 4:00 pm ET

When older dems are told that they are not important anymore and that like McCain, they should get out of the way of the new kids on the block. Well, the party is now yours, all the new faces like Kennedy,Kerry, Dean, Daschele, Dodd, Pelosi will b e running Washington now, they'll turn things around. Wait, aren't they running things now? Wheres this change Obama keeps talking about? The old party establishment sure likes this change artist. I don't like him and you can have this new party and I'll vote for John McCain. And if Roe v Wade is so important to you Obama girls, why didn't you vote for the woman? You get what you deserve. I've voted the straight party ticket since 1970 and have donated thousands of dollars to the party and its candidates. Now Obama has driven me out of the party. Win or lose, I'm done with the dem party,

spencer   May 28th, 2008 4:00 pm ET

Sounds to me like Hillary is the better choice for everyone…My voters choice is Hillary or no one…………..

Yasriel   May 28th, 2008 4:00 pm ET

So much for the polls arguement of HRC. Obama is way stronger and cleaner than both HRC and McSame combined.

Andrew from Illinois   May 28th, 2008 4:00 pm ET

Hmmm….what did Hillary say about being more electable?

Jeff   May 28th, 2008 4:00 pm ET

"You have to ask yourself who is the stronger candidate?" she (Clinton)continued. "And based on every analysis of every bit of research and every poll that’s been taken and every state that a democrat has to win, I am the stronger candidate against John McCain in the fall."

Capt. Smash, Salt Lake City, Utah   May 28th, 2008 3:59 pm ET

HOW CARES ABOUT THIS STORY GUYS, COME ON:

CNN YOU ARE BLOWING IT AGIAN. WHO CARES ABOUT HILLARY THIS STORY IS BIGGER THAN WATER-GATE DO YOUR JOB!

PLEASE CNN: STAY ON THE REAL STORY WE RELY ON YOU FOR INFORMATION: 4000 DEAD AND FOR WHAT! WHAT DID WE ACCOMPLISH GOING INTO IRAQ!

THIS IS THE WORST CRIME EVER MADE BY AN AMERICAN PRESIDENT. COME ON CNN THINK, YOU HAVE TO THINK! DO WHATS RIGHT FOR ALL AMERICANS, DIG DEEP THIS IS THE STORY THE WORLD NEEDS TO KNOW!

The media is the real story. . They let us down with Bush and Iraq! They really let THE AMERICAN PEOPLE down.

Over 4000 dead, what do you say to those families? BUSH, MCCAIN and CLINTON, need to apologize to all AMERICANS for sending them to there death's! Bush should be removed from office ASAP. Congress should start the Iraqi WAR hearings immediately find the truth please behind this WAR! Remove Bush from office, this will show all of America, the government still works for the good of the people. George Bush has destroyed the creditability of the presidency; even 4000 times worse then Bill Clinton and Monica scandal. If we ever need to go to war again how can we trust congress and the White House to do the right thing?

The only way congress can restore there creditability; as a functioning body of this government, is to hold formal investigations in this horrible American tragedy the Iraq War. I feel so bad for those families that give there loved ones to this American tragedy, THE IRAQ WAR!

Obama 08
For the good of America

Dex Dean   May 28th, 2008 3:59 pm ET

Note the closeness of the polls. Hillary and BIlly Bob have their own agenda, the Clinton Agenda. Win at all cost, Forget the party or the will of the people. How much did Billy Bob get paid by the likes of Citibank and others for speaking engagements who thought Hillary would be in the White House. Who donated to his Library? Where there is smoke there is fire. Very sad that these two represent part of our country. Time for a change!

Uncle Sam   May 28th, 2008 3:59 pm ET

Rasmussen Reports Daily Presidential Tracking Poll has it McCain 47% and Obama 43%.

Kerry   May 28th, 2008 3:59 pm ET

President Obama :)

Dee Okla.   May 28th, 2008 3:58 pm ET

That poll can not be right because Hill says she is winning and I know she would never lie to us (yea right).

Will someone please tell her that she is not the only one who can beat mcsane.

LOU-THE TRUTH TELLER   May 28th, 2008 3:58 pm ET

lou

i am listening to ur radio show right now

we the hill-dems who are not welcomed into new dem/liberal party are becoming INDEPENDENT —- and we will vote for whomever you will say to —

thx —keep up with ur work of honesty

don,t get sold like SUPERDELEGATES

UniteAmerica   May 28th, 2008 3:58 pm ET

Well, how come hillary says she is the stronger candidate?? I seems both Barack and Hillary are stronger than John.

Keith R.   May 28th, 2008 3:57 pm ET

"The poll of polls does not have a sampling error."

Because it is statistically invalid to average averages.

There's a reason too.

Ben   May 28th, 2008 3:57 pm ET

HRC….the polls speak for themselves…so dont use scare tactics on innocent Americans.

AtlantaDan   May 28th, 2008 3:57 pm ET

Just imagine how easy it would be to win if we all could hold hands and play nice. It is time to put them both on the ticket and win. We are much stronger with a united party than all this bitter division. I will only vote for a ticket that includes Hillary. You can not take away the fact that 17 MILLIOIN people voted for her. Put the egos down and lets win!!!! I will if you Obama folks will. We will need EVERY vote come Nov. The past few elections have been decided by very slim margins…. how can Obama risk it??? He does not have to.

Charlotte   May 28th, 2008 3:57 pm ET

10% undecided? That could swing either way..

Ronnie   May 28th, 2008 3:56 pm ET

News Week don't count because they allways slant to obama, and besides Obama is the "Tourist!
"Touring" is ALL Obama has done during these primaries. Touring all 57 states, and one to go AK,and HI with the money of the blind sheep he's leading to slaughter, touring on the tail of the liberal media, touring on a couple of books he wrote (and even there he stole the title "Audacity of Hope" from that pastor whom he now "disowns. "Touring" on the coattails of Hillary Clinton, whose EVERY PROGRM he now mimicks as "his own," touring on his 120 "present" votes in the Illinois Senate, and now "touring" in Florida, now trying to convince the voters there to go for him. By the way, folks, Obama kept himself on the ballot in Florida, and if he had won — which he did NOT — he'd be "touring" to the convention in a much better position. I'm not interested in a "tourist" as president. I'm intersted in a proven native. I WILL WRITE IN HILLARY'S NAME ON THE NOVEMBER BALLOT if the DNC and back-stabbing superdelgates try to shove Obama down our throats

LOU-THE TRUTH TELLER   May 28th, 2008 3:56 pm ET

LOU

I JUST WANNA TELL YOU , U R AN AMERICAN HERO.

tidho   May 28th, 2008 3:56 pm ET

The media should not have release polls without getting Hillary's blessing first. Its irresponsible and sexist.

Perrell, Lincolnton, NC   May 28th, 2008 3:56 pm ET

Well as we all know the argument that the Clinton's have been arguing about the polls have her up well they have and Obama up with the exact percentage points… Just give it a rest so we all can come together as one party and win in Nov.

JJ   May 28th, 2008 3:56 pm ET

So what argument does Clinton have now? They can both beat McCain so I wonder what her strategy will be next.

Chi4Obama   May 28th, 2008 3:55 pm ET

There goes Hillary's argument about electability.

Ratgurl   May 28th, 2008 3:55 pm ET

Are you sure that wasn't as such:

Obama: 46 percent

Unsure: 44 percent

McCain: 10 percent

?

;)

Barbara - 65 yr old white female in NC   May 28th, 2008 3:54 pm ET

To each his own (poll) – they're a dime a dozen.

Just give us facts – not your opinion of which poll we should listen to.

Thanks.

EDW   May 28th, 2008 3:54 pm ET

Hmmm, what do you have to say to that Billary. I plan to vote democrat regardless of the outcome. I don't want my friends to be in Iraq till 2013, I want to be able to put gas in my car, and I want a future for my kids.

Dems 2008

Luisa   May 28th, 2008 3:54 pm ET

Okay HRC now what? I thought you said Obama could not beat McCain…as usual the people are proving you wrong. AGAIN

No Way   May 28th, 2008 3:54 pm ET

Remember, Hillary is the only person that can beat McCain.

SLO Bear   May 28th, 2008 3:54 pm ET

Superdelegates, take the crocodile out of the pool, so Obama can swim against McCain.
