OH/MO/KY-SurveyUSA: Clinton better positioned than Obama to beat McCain

[Sam Spade]

Although these polls are not worth much in the long run (though who knows), this poll (along with others) is the reason why you saw the Obama speech yesterday.

Exactly right.  These polls compared to Survey USA's polls in February - the internals tell it all.

Among white voters:

Ohio:
Obama went from down 7 to down 19

Mo.
Obama went from down 3 to down 23

Kentucky
Obama went from down 35 to down 43
(I didn't think it could get any worse here)

Memo to Obama.  Don't pick Reverand Wright as your running mate.  In a sense, he already is.

Scary

The good news for Obama is that this doesn't necessary mean it's a permanent deal.  In fact, I think he'll get at least some of those whites back after this newscycle runs its course.  Heck, we're 8 months out.

Should the Democratic nominee be Obama, if OH and MO want more of the failed same with John McCain, that's their problem. Obama and Clinton are closer on the issues than either are to McCain

I'm not expectating KY to be anything other but Republican. It has two senators well to its economic right. Sad really

Obama is still the same man running for president as he was on Feb 5, when he won the Democratic primary in MO. He hasn't changed

No reason why he shouldn't given the FACT that Obama is not running for the Black man [sic] any more than he is for the White man [sic], the Latino man [sic], the Asian-American man [sic] or the Native American man [sic]

That is why I endorsed him

If Obama is losing by 36 points right now in KY, I wonder how bad he'd be doing in Oklahoma!

[Fmr. Pres. Duke]

Bandit your deliusonal if you think Obama would do well in Kentucky.

He'd do great compared to Hillary.

Boone and Spencer are only 2 counties.

So allowing the Republicans to cross 60% in Kentucky is better than what Hillary could do?
