South Carolina: Clinton 36% Obama 34%

Thursday, December 06, 2007

New York Senator Hillary Clinton’s lead over Illinois Senator Barack Obama in South Carolina’s Presidential Primary has disappeared. The latest Rasmussen Reports telephone survey of the race shows Clinton with 36% of the vote while Obama is the top choice for 34% of the state’s Likely Primary Voters. A month ago, Clinton had a ten-point advantage. In September, the former First Lady was up by thirteen points.

Currently, John Edwards is a distant third at 13% in South Carolina and no other Democrat tops the 2% level of support (see crosstabs for current survey).

Fifty-one percent (51%) of Clinton’s voters name Obama as their second choice. Fifty-nine percent (59%) of Obama voters name Clinton as their second choice. Among supporters of John Edwards, Clinton is the second choice for 34% while Obama gets the nod from 16%.

1. Oprah's very popular.

:shrug:

[aquart]

3. And so she should be.

[emilyg]

15. Just read an article on AOL - Oprah is in the 20 most disliked

by black women.

[PresidentObama]

GOBAMA!

[aquart]

2. Clinton and Obama have never been that different.

That, of course, is what they don't like about each other.

[Bitwit1234]

4. Are the American Idol audience voting for Oprah I thought

Obama was the candidate. But then we all know he'll never win so why bother.

[Nedsdag]

8. Did Hillbots such as yourself wake up on the wrong side of the bed?

You guys are really cranky!

Just as cranky as your candidate!

[Adelante]

5. That's exciting, thanks for posting it

Interesting that Clinton's and Obama's second choices go to each other.

Edwards voters go to Clinton instead of Obama.


DU - Just like REAL LIFE :rofl:

[TeamJordan23]

6. The trend is Obama. Let's hope he continues to peak. nm

[Captain Hilts]

7. THIS is where Oprah will be of help to him. nt

9. Thanks for posting. He is on a roll...that's undeniable...

The first major goal -- cancel the coronation and prove viability. That's been done. People now know he can win. Next step -- seal the deal and bring it home.

10. Glad to see that Edwards isn't getting any traction in this...or

In the polls from yesterday that showed Hillary with a large lead...

[Colobo]

12. Let's say it, dear Elmer:

GOBAMA! :bounce:

[maddiejoan]

11. Kudos

for Oprahma.

[THUNDER HANDS]

13. it's a horserace...a meaningless one, but interesting at this point

Whoever wins Iowa changes the dynamic of the race, so these polls are pretty much meaningless. Still, fun to watch.

[BeyondGeography]

14. The real big news: Black voters in SC now 51-27 for Obama

and those are pre-Oprah numbers.

[Colobo]

18. That's what I like!

[Occam Bandage]

19. Wow. That's a real turnaround for Obama. Good to see.

[elizm]

23. When the 20,000+ from the rally decide to vote in the primary...How sweet it will be. :) nt

[Imagevision]

16. Hillary represents old school politics, aren't you fed up with the same ole - same ole stuff?!?

Barack Obama I believe represents REAL change in how government should be run.

[Cha]

17. I think

hillary and her advisers needed to go to an Intelligence School with integrity and ethics as subjects way back in 2001 and keep a steady course. And that would be a very different course than the bushites were leading her around by the nose.

[zulchzulu]

20. Hillary HATER!

:sarcasm:

Good news indeed...

[Occam Bandage]

21. I'm glad to see Obama tightening it up. If he wins Iowa, places a close 2nd in NH, and wins SC,

I think he'll have the legs to win the whole thing on Super Tuesday.

[AtomicKitten]

22. Obama is a forward trajectory in motion.

[elizm]

24. Ain't no stoppin' him now! :)

[AtomicKitten]

25. truer words were never spoken

Gobama!

[BeyondGeography]

26. LOL...new theme song?

[elizm]

29. LOVE IT!! :)

[Occam Bandage]

27. If you got that notion, I second that emotion.

[Colobo]

30. Absolutely!

[ellisonz]

28. Gobama.

[JeanGrey]

31. I figured that when I read they were attacking Obama's

kindergarden record - talk about ridiculous. And if she keeps going down it will get worse.
