RAS Poll: Obama: 46% McCain: 43%; McCain: 46% Clinton: 44%
Edited on Thu Feb-07-08 04:33 PM by book_worm
So Obama is up by 3 nationally over McCain and Clinton is down by 2.

So in effect a toss up, but still...

Go ahead, put your faith in a poll this far out from the convention, let alone the election.

6. What worries me is that the dirt on Obama hasn't come out - people know little about him.
I'm afraid that his poll numbers are going to crash once the media and the Repubs start to really attack him. Hillary has been attacked 24/7 and her numbers look pretty good - I think that her numbers will be better once people start paying attention to from McCain on how it's okay w/him to be in Iraq for another 100 years.

He's gotten a free ride from the media up until now.

I would feel a lot better about Obama if his numbers were to hold up after being thoroughly vetted.

11. No, they would not do that to a fellow democrat.
The republicans will not give a damn. Watch out what you wish for.

I'm not particularly worried if there is dirt.
The shit they make up usually ends up being worse. John Kerry was a war hero and they turned him into a coward. Jesus Christ himself could be our candidate and they would trash him.

7. Hopefully democtrats will start voting with their brains...
obama is clearly the better head to head match up against mcCain... this has been documented millions of times... the clinton camp people have not answered the arguments ...


1. clinton already has dump trucks worth of opposition research on her.
2. Despite the fact that these things have been debunked she will still have to continually debunk them.
3. Several cross over voters will vote for obama but not hillary
4. Obama can go head to head with McCain.

Result the largest democratic majority in modern times...

15. Just promise me you would say the exact same thing if it showed Hillary winning.
By the way, I must comment that I like your sig and I think that is a very beautiful picture of your candidate! :hi:

12. I'm amused by all the Hillary supporters now discarding this poll but they will point
to any poll which would show their candidate ahead and say "See, Obama can't win the general election."
