33% Afraid of Clinton in New Poll
It wasn’t that long ago that the DNC made a big deal about conservatives not being able to choose a candidate. The details of their purely political statements are fading now with the only recollection that they viewed a large % of undecided GOP voters to mean there were no candidates to excite the electorate. It was stupid then and it is stupid now.
But another report on the latest polls offers some political humor, some ‘I told ya so’ and indications not constructed on this blog for which there is a shared sentiment. First of all, the report announces 37% of likely Democratic voters still have no idea for whom they’ll cast a vote. If 2 out of 5 Dems still don’t know who they will pick for President, why are so many expecting Senator ‘did nothing, do nothing but fail’ Clinton will win the lefty nomination? If all the polls are of likely voters, how does 37% undecided, 40% for Clinton and maybe 35% between Obama and Edwards equal 100?
If you think about the recent surge for Huckabee, or any other significant ’stories’ in the campaign, it is reasonable to expect that there are probably as many people who have not decided who to vote for as there are those convinced they have made their selection. This blog and the person doing the typing for this post announced support for Mitt Romney last June or earlier. There are others known here who have selected Fred Thompson and maintained that position since well before his announcement or even forming a committee.
While the DNC made light of things early in the campaign, they probably are not laughing off the mere 35% of likely Dems voters saying they’re excited about HRC for President. The DNC may have been avoiding the obvious conclusion that the GOP had more to offer and the campaign season started early so people had plenty of time to make up their minds with a wide field of reasonable choices to attract a variety of conservative preferences.
Huckabee and Romney still show as tied in Iowa. But for the Dems, Clinton is fading while Obama and Edwards are holding their own. Giuliani playing for the big states and Clinton losing her lead means Iowa will likely fall to candidates not leading the national polls. Clinton and Giuliani are also not leading in New Hampshire. That leaves lots of room for everyone else and may change the whole ball game after the first few states are finished voting.
It was fun displaying results here earlier of a Zogby poll that raised some reader complaints. It was an internet poll under uncommon conditions and the referenced report today from Zogby may be unique also. It features Obama and Huck ’surging’ nationally. Ya, whatever. Point is, little is being said about Clinton in terms of leading. Most Clinton support continues to recycle old news.
