Independents Flocking to Obama
Posted by Paul on March 27, 2008
Amazin.g. Two new polls out today:
In a PPIC poll, in the general election, Obama beats McCain handily in California, while Clinton narrowly edges him out.
Obama 49
McCain 40
Clinton 46
McCain 43
Could Clinton lose California?
Meanwhile, his numbers in Conneticut have jumped as well
Obama 52
McCain 35
Clinton 45
McCain 42
Says the Q-poll:
New York Sen. Hillary Clinton initially was the favorite among Democrats before the Feb. 5 primary, but lost to Illinois Sen. Barack Obama, 50-47 percent. In a hypothetical matchup, Obama is now in a stronger position than Clinton against Arizona Sen. John McCain in the state’s general election. Independent voters support Obama, 45-38 percent and voters younger than 45 back him, 63-30 percent.
There is also an NBC poll out today that show Obama weathering the Wright storm. Watch Tim Russert break down the poll numbers.
