Third National Poll Has Clinton Breaking 50% - USA Today/Gallup

[wyldwolf]

Presidential hopeful Hillary Rodham Clinton for the first time (for this poll) wins the support of 50% of Democrats and Democratic-leaning independents, a USA TODAY/Gallup Poll finds, and she commands the most enthusiastic backing of any contender in either party. (She's at 53% in the latest ABC/WaPo poll and 50% in the latest Opinion Dynamics poll.)

Positives tick up two points.

Here's the interesting result:

(Asked of Democrats and independents who lean to the Democratic Party)If the following wins the Democratic nomination for president, which would best describe your reaction -- you would vote for her/him enthusiastically in November 2008, you would vote for her/him, but mainly as a vote against the Republican, you would vote for the Republican, or you would stay home on Election Day and not vote?

Hillary Clinton: Vote for enthusiastically - 64% Vote for, mainly against the Republican - 22%
Barack Obama: Vote for enthusiastically - 49% Vote for, mainly against the Republican - 31%

9. Three polls? This sounds fishy to me

Does anyone else find it to be a remarkable coincidence that three separate polls are are showing similar results? At the same time! This is obviously a conspiracy hatched by the MSM-corporatists.

11. I think it is very odd that the polls agree.

There must be a conspiracy among the corporate-owned pollsters. Must be that. Nothing else but a deep, dark conspiracy could explain such an amazing confluence of the poll results.
