Wednesday, January 30, 2008

A Rasmussen Reports telephone survey of the Massachusetts Democratic Presidential Primary finds Hillary Clinton attracting 43% of the vote while Barack Obama earns 37%. The survey was conducted on the night that Massachusetts Senator Ted Kennedy endorsed Obama but before John Edwards dropped out of the race.

Edwards picked up 11% of the vote in this survey while 4% said they would prefer some other candidate. Five percent (5%) remain undecided.

A poll conducted Sunday night in neighboring Connecticut found Clinton and Obama tied. Nationally, Clinton has a modest lead over Obama in the Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll.

3. Clinton leads by sixteen percentage points among women while Obama leads by five points among men

In Massachusetts, Clinton leads by sixteen percentage points among women while Obama leads by five points among men. Clinton’s support is more solid at this time than Obama’s. Among those who say they’d vote for the former First Lady, 74% are “certain” they won’t change their mind. Just 62% of Obama supporters are that certain.

5. Polls always tighten up.

Whether it's a media creation or simply a symptom of the undecideds finally making a choice I don't know.
