Rasmussen-N.H.- Clinton 38% Obama 22% Edwards 14% Kucinich 7%
Clinton’s current lead is a bit smaller than it was in September, but it’s the fourth straight poll in which Clinton has been ahead by at least 15 percentage points in the first-in-the-nation primary. In all four surveys, Clinton’s support has stayed in a very narrow range from a low of 37% to a high of 40%. Clinton also leads in Iowa, the first caucus state, and in national polling.

As in earlier New Hampshire polls, Clinton benefits from a significant gender gap. She leads Obama by 23-points among women and by just six points among men. Obama does best among younger voters and liberal voters.

Fifty-two percent (52%) of Clinton supporters say they are certain they will vote for her and nothing will change their mind. Only 39% of Obama’s voters are that certain along with 29% of Edwards voters.

2. President Dean Is Watching Closely
Dean's 30% lead one month before Iowa ensured him a victory.

:rofl:

3. I Guess Denial Is One Way Of Coping With Bad News
Edited on Sat Oct-27-07 10:50 AM by DemocratSinceBirth
But inner peace only comes with acceptance.

6. OK, I Accept That Dean Did Not Win The Nomination
Despite being up by 30% only a month before Iowa.

Do you also accept (as I do) that polls, even days before primary season, mean little or nothing?

7. The Final Polls Should Be Consonant With The Results
Edited on Sat Oct-27-07 11:43 AM by DemocratSinceBirth
But I think I understand the question you're asking me...

Polls are mere snapshots but they are fun to look at and it's better to be winning than losing...

4. Hmm...Dodd doesn't look like he got a bump for his good deeds this week
Only at 2%. Too bad. I was hoping he would get a nice bump.

5. Seven Percent For Kucinich Is A Respectable Showing
It's a bit higher than in other NH polls... These polls do have margins of errors and all that...I look at them as a guide book and not a manual...

8. The winner in Iowa will get a bump in NH.
If Hillary loses Iowa, she's vulnerable in NH.

If she wins Iowa, she'll steamroll everyone in NH.

9. That's The Conventional Wisdom And You're Probably Right
But it's also an expectations game...

Gary Hart lost IA 40% -16% and used that momentum to clean Walter Mondale's clock in New Hampshire...

16. Hillary's problem is that her national inevitability
squeeze play (trumpeting polls, twisting arms for endorsements, etc) makes it impossible for her to downplay expectations in Iowa. She will be expected to win Iowa.

14. Obama and Edwards are just not catching up to Clinton when
you look at the polls on this site since January 2007 to present. Maybe their message is, for the most part, too similar to what Clinton is saying???
