Clinton fares best with voters 55 and older and those who have a strong Democratic voting history. Ominously for Clinton, her negatives are higher than are those of Obama and Edwards. Obama supporters believe that he will end the current polarization of politics.
“Edwards remains a factor in this race and if he polls well could be the alternative to Obama if Clinton collapses,” continued Johnson. “However a sizeable number of Edwards’ supporters indicated that they may change their vote and if so, they are predisposed to switch to Obama. Richardson is a non-factor in the race.”
When Democratic voters were asked what they most looked for in a presidential candidate, one who represents change or one with experience 54% said one who represents change, 27% said one with experience, and 19% were undecided.
“The problem for Clinton is to convince voters that she can bring about fundamental change,” said Johnson.
