CNN/OPC California Poll: Clinton 47%; Obama 31%; Edwards 10%

[Adelante]

Clinton: 47%
Obamal 31% (fixed typo - 41%)
Edwards: 10%

And
John McCain: 20%
Mitt Romney: 16%
Rudy Giuliani: 14%
Huckabee: 13%

The margin of error for both samples is +/-6. I suppose it's significant that Romney and Giuliani are essentially tied.

4. Did you say race?

8. ANOTHER OBAMA SURROGATE PLAYS THE RACE CARD!!!

:hi:

3. Eweeeee Closer than I expected!

:wow:

[jefferson_dem]

5. Wow. Obama's closing in on Hillary in CA.

She was up by 20. :bounce:!

[ZinZen]

22. As a Californian

I just hope most of this state does not vote for Hillary because of name recogniton. Obama needs to come out here. Not just to the urban areas but the Central Valley that would be rich in Indy, Dem and sane repug votes.

I am also happy that California finally has a say so in this primary.

6. Wow, GOBAMA!

[Occam Bandage]

7. Wow. Obama within the MOE? There goes yet another firewall.

[TheWraith]

16. Even more so when you factor in Edwards.

My thinking is that if Edwards doesn't win SC, he pulls out and endorses Obama. That's a big chunk of voters, apart from converts.

[redqueen]

9. Astoundingly disappointing.

But then again... they gave us Ahhhnuld.

[TheWraith]

11. Give it time. I'm sure Hillary's support will fade going into Super Tuesday.

Wins in NV and SC would help, though my suspicion is that Edwards pulls out and endorses Obama if Edwards doesn't win SC. That would be a big boost.

[Nutmegger]

13. Yeah that's true.

We need one of these for California.

[skipos]

10. Wow! That is WAYYY better than I would expect for Obama. nt

[MadBadger]

12. Sadly, I think these numbers may be wrong.

Apparently Politico was also a sponsor and they say its actually a 47-31 advantage for HRC.

[TheWraith]

15. So they're trying to claim that CNN is lying? NT

[MadBadger]

17. Its a CNN/Politico poll

The results are Clinton 47, Obama 31.

[Adelante]

18. Too bad

It was nice while it lasted :)

[Pirate Smile]

14. Halprin has Obama at 31 instead of 41. One of them has a typo and neither

has a link.

I've got burned by copying one of their typos before. They need to be more careful.

The Political Wire has it as 31 also. http://politicalwire.com/

6% is a big margin of error.

19. Just saw it on CNN Bill Schneider: Hillary 47 Obama 31

[Adelante]

21. Thank you - I fixed it nt

[balantz]

20. What the fuck's wrong with California?

It isn't the same place I knew in the 60's and 70's!

[redqueen]

23. It's a huge state, with lots of variety.

If you know a few folks there and talk to them about politics, you'll quickly find out just how varied things have become.

[balantz]

24. Well, I'm glad my folks are still there. They'll drop their votes on Edwards.

[redqueen]

25. My sister (in CA) is leaning Obama. Why?

She says she doesn't know really... he just seems popular. Lots of folks like him. Also, Kucinich did that thing where he "endorsed" him.

*sigh*

[balantz]

26. My sister here in AZ is all lala about Obama too.

She even painted his picture with an Egyptian Pharoah's headress, uniter of the kingdoms and all I guess (very nice painting by the way, luv ya' sis!). She's a white boomer and I'm guessing she thinks the white good old boys have done too much damage and it's time for a black man. I don't care what color the man/woman is, I just want someone who wants to kick some ass in Washington and turn some corporate elite tables over.
