3. Zogby Interactive poll - validity is not yet shown - lousy past history n/t

5. Zogby has is reputable

Zogby is a very reputable polling service. There numbers were right on the money in 2004. This isn't an "interactive" poll. I suspect this is a scientific poll.

Zogby Poll: Half Say They Would Never Vote for Hillary Clinton for President

Other top tier candidates in both parties win more acceptance; Richardson & Huckabee favored most

While she is winning wide support in nationwide samples among Democrats in the race for their party’s presidential nomination, half of likely voters nationwide said they would never vote for New York Sen. Hillary Clinton, a new Zogby Interactive poll shows.

The online survey of 9,718 likely voters nationwide showed that 50% said Clinton would never get their presidential vote. This is up from 46% who said they could never vote for Clinton in a Zogby International telephone survey conducted in early March. Older voters are most resistant to Clinton – 59% of those age 65 and older said they would never vote for the New York senator, but she is much more acceptable to younger voters: 42% of those age 18–29 said they would never vote for Clinton for President.

Whom would you NEVER vote for for President of the U.S.?


Clinton (D) 50%
==============================================================================================================

After the Zogby telephone survey in March's 47% was reported, later polls showed Hillary at 41% - less than the other candiates - up to 46%, depending on the telephone poll.

Zogby is pro-Obama - and this mix of telephone prior and online current so as to show a bad trend was noted by the professionals and he was called on it.

4. Thanks, brooklynite - Appreciate the latest info

Between the Zogby, the McClatchey, MSNBC, ABC, NBC, CNN and every other poll that's come out within the last few weeks, it's enough to send a person into statistical overload, LOL.

6. The bottom line is they're all tied...

...so it depends on how each campaign turns out its voters. I'm inclined to give Edwards +2 points on the basis that he has Union support which will turn out reliability and stay till the bitter end.

more interesting story is actually in the Republican race. If Uncle Fred doesn't make it into the top 3, he's going to have a hard time claiming "momentum" to last through NH and SC. Also, where's the Ron Paul "surge" that all the fundraising was pointing to?

[Penndems]

7. "I'm included to give Edwards +2 points . . ."

From your keyboard to God's ears, brooklynite.

My instincts are telling me that Huckabee's gonna take the lead on the GOP side.

I might be wrong, but it seems as if Ron Paul might be the Ross Perot of the campaign season - a spoiler who pulls votes away from whomever the Republican nominee might be.

9. I agree with that...

Huckabee has the support of the Evangelicals, who are highly likely to participate in the
caucuses. Churches have highly organized methods of arranging for transportation
to and from the caucuses and encouraging people to attend.

Huckabee will take Iowa.

[dchill]

10. And I'll give him another 2...

so that's 4, right?
:)

11. It would be great if the Clintons finish third in Iowa, then lose New Hampshire.

I wonder if we could be that lucky...

[Capn Sunshine]

12. That's starting to look like reality

We're ahead in NH as I write this!
We already feel like Iowa is a fait accompli

13. Go with it, kid. Go with it.

[aquart]

14. "The Clintons"?

Never a minute without a smear. Cute. Bill isn't running.

People who are snide, even vicious in victory are...well...Republicans.

[killbotfactory]

15. Right. Bill isn't running.

Hillary is just taking credit for every good thing his administration has done, and has the same damn people ready to go back into the white house, but they're not running as a team.

16. Zogby Said Kerry Would Win Election, Election Night, Hillary Wins NH

I can wait for the Obama supporters to get a dose of reality.

[IndianaGreen]

19. The Clintons 2-for-1 deal. Vote for Hillary and you also get Bill and his baggage

As to being vicious, no one can beat the viciousness of the Clintons' DOMA and "Don't Ask-Don't Tell."

17. To ALL you Obamawannabe's... Go check out the video posted..Obama is a RW ASS!

18. That's the first time I have noticed

Hillary polling third. Yes, it's all within the MOE, but still ...
