Zogby: Primary and General Election Poll

[Mr. Morden]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but is 25% the highest that Obama has gotten in any national Dem. primary poll ever?  Also the first poll I've seen in which Obama beats Clinton among blacks.  I also think this might be first ever national poll in which Romney does better than Gingrich.

[Mr. Morden]

Another interesting tidbit from this poll:

"Among those Republican voters who consider themselves “very conservative,” Romney wins 23%, compared to 22% for former U.S. House Speaker Newt Gingrich. The much–ballyhooed very conservative vote is split even more among second–tier candidates, with Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice winning 13% support and Sen. Sam Brownback winning 9%. Giuliani (4%) and McCain (3%) failed to win more than token support among this demographic."

Of course it's to be expected that the most conservative voters would prefer other candidates over Giuliani and McCain, but I wouldn't have expected them to be doing *that* poorly among that group.  That is a bit surprising.
