Polls: Hillary Does Better than McCain and Obama in Kentucky (and FL, OH, PA)
By Deb Cupples on May 26, 2008 at 4:28 PM in Barack Obama, Electability, Electoral College, Florida, Hillary Clinton, John McCain, Kentucky, Ohio, Pennsylvania
The latest Rasmussen poll of Kentucky voters shows Hillary beating McCain and McCain beating Obama in the general election in that state:
| Clinton | 51% | …. | Obama | 32% |
| McCain | 42% | McCain | 57% |
A few days ago, Rasmussen reported the following polling results regarding Pennsylvania’s presidential election in November 2008:.
| Clinton | 50% | …. | Obama | 45% |
| McCain | 39% | McCain | 43% |
Both polls show Hillary doing very well, but the headlines of Rasmussen’s reports do not mention Hillary at all. I suppose we should be grateful that Rasmussen is still including questions about Hillary in surveys (unlike some other polling outfits).
Recent polls from Quinnipiac have more good news for Hillary: she’s beating McCain in Florida, Ohio, and Pennsylvania:
| FL | .OH | PA | |
| Clinton | 48% | 48% | 50% |
| McCain | 41% | 41% | 37% |
| Obama | 41% | 40% | 46% |
| McCain | 45% | 44% | 40% |
Meanwhile, the news is not so good for Obama, who is losing to McCain in Florida and Ohio but beating McCain in Pennsylvania.
I know, they’re just polls, and I question them regularly. However, political operatives tend to put stock in polls, especially when different ones indicate similar things.
That said, I wonder how some of the Democratic super-delegates are reacting to some of these Hillary-favoring polls — especially the ones involving swing states.
I suppose we’ll find out soon enough. Memeorandum has commentary.
