Gallup Analysis: Clinton Has Swing State Advantage
May 28, 2008 11:51 AM
An analysis by Lydia Saad at Gallup of Gallup Poll Daily trial heats for the general election over the past two weeks seems to re-affirm Sen. Hillary Clinton's argument that she is likelier to beat Sen. John McCain than is Sen. Barack Obama.
"Clinton is currently running ahead of McCain in the 20 states where she has prevailed in the popular vote," Saad writes, "while Obama is tied with McCain in those same states. Thus, at this stage in the race (before the general-election campaigns have fully engaged), there is some support for her argument that her primary states indicate she would be stronger than Obama in the general election.
"The same cannot be said for Obama in the 28 states and D.C. where he prevailed in the popular vote. As of now, in those states, he is performing no better than Clinton is in general-election trial heats versus McCain. Thus, the principle of greater primary strength translating into greater general-election strength -- while apparently operative for the states Clinton has won -- does not seem to apply at the moment to states Obama has won."
Are the Democrats about to nominate their weaker candidate? What say you?

Considering that the pundrity in general pronounced Hillary dead after she won Indiana & have found ways to keep writing new obits for her campaign this is actually surprising that she's still polling stronger than Obama. It's sad that my party is probably just going to waste this election.

Fair play!
