Hill surges ahead!
Like an experienced heavyweight boxer she is unleashing a flurry of punches in the last few rounds.

Hillary leads by 2 points in a Obama stronghold!

North Carolina
Clinton - 44%
Obama - 42%

Poll conducted by Insider Advantage

National Poll
Clinton 44%
Obama 41%

General Election
Clinton 45%
McCain 44%

General Election
Obama 43%
McCain 46%

Has Wright damaged Obama's campaign?
All 70% voted yes (average)
Dem 64% voted yes
Rep 79% voted yes
--
--

Favoribility Ratings
Obama's favoribility rating goes down 9%
Clinton's favoribility rating goes up 2%

Obama's favorable rating is now 47 percent, down 7 percentage points since February when 54 percent had a positive view of him. As may be expected, his unfavorable rating went up from 33 percent to 42 percent today.

Clinton’s favorable rating is up 2 points to 47 percent from 45 percent in February.

The decline in Obama’s favorable rating also is evident among Democrats: 63 percent have a favorable opinion now, down from 73 percent in February. For Clinton, 73 percent of Democrats have a favorable view of her, up from 71 percent.


Polls were conducted by Opinion Dynamics Corporation.

"What else?"
She's making REAL PROGRESS, and it's only fair to declare her MISSION ACCOMPLISHED.

Thanks to Hillary, FREEDOM IS ON THE MARCH, and if you don't support her, you're dead to her because you're EITHER WITH US OR AGAINST US.

I think Mama Harper would agree with my "in-your-face" methodology.

9. And end the end... Hillary will still lose to Obama. Numbers dont lie.
Supers are still going for Obama 2 to 1 over Clinton and he is leading her in delegates in such a way she can not come back... Those are numbers you cant argue with and the only ones that count..

10. I told you so
Being on the defensive is always a bad place to be.

Obama is getting kicked like a dog, yet he still refuses to fight back.

16. Unfortunately, 90% of the voters see only soundbites


Obama needs to speak to them in a way they can understand, not to the 10%.

13. If we were talking about votes, or delegates
That would be interesting.

We've all leared that Jeremiah Wright 24/7 isn't good for your campaign. It will end soon enough.

28. lol, no it isn't. They are brand new. And it isn't "A poll" it is an average of all polls
Tomorrow the insider advantage poll will be averaged in too.

It's the only polling source to bother paying attention to.

22. Two most recent RCP polls have Obama up +1 and +3 in IN.
The Hillary supporters will be screeching "but....but...REVEREND WRIGHT!!" at Obama's inauguration.

20. What alternate universe do
you live in. If you are depending on these numbers you are one wasted person.

Look at who is doing the polling.

It is called math 1 + 1=2 Always has been and always will be. You are supporting one who can't win.

Sorry.

this is all about Rev Wright. Without him, those polls you cited wouldn't be showing the same shift.

27. Those numbers are PATHETIC
At this point we should have had a presumptive nominee and been trouncing the Fossil Fool by AT LEAST 10 points.

Instead we're pissing on each other while biting our nails in a cliffhanger.

30. Leave it to the Hillary crowd to liken this election to a sporting event!

That's why this country is in such sad shape that it is. If we can't prioritize anything more than "just winning" as being important in how our country is going to be run, especially in the time of crisis that it is in now.

33. With blacks consisting of around 30% of the electorate in North Carolina, if Obama can't win by 10+
He is unelectable.

He is getting a bare minimum of white support in a state with a lot of affluent liberals/moderates.

44. I'm still convinced that Obama will be the nominee
even though I know he can't beat McCain. America will vote based on character, not on the issues. Barack has not been honest with the American people.

35. For weeks the talking heads (e.g., Chuck Todd) have been saying that the
Edited on Wed Apr-30-08 09:55 PM by Skwmom
winner would be the person who won where they weren't expected to. Harold Ford, the Clinton hack, has said whoever wins NC wins the nomination. Now there is a Republican pollster showing Clinton winning. What type of voting machines are used in NC?

This reminds me of PA where the Clinton Camp leaked a poll to Drudge that she would win by 10. The Clinton Camp WHO ALWAYS downplays expectations leaking such a poll didn't make sense (besides the expectation game it could depress your turnout b/c your supporters would think you were going to win anyway so why go to the polls). Clinton then wins by 9% even though this was not what the exit polls showed (exit polls that were valid before 2000 and which are used in other countries to detect election fraud).

Spare me the conspiracy, tinfoil hat crap. I was in a profession that dealt with facts and the facts surrounding the electronic voting machines in this country stinks to high heaven.
