Gallup Poll: Hillary Ahead and Rising

A Gallup Poll released today shows Hillary has been gaining support the past three days and nationally leads Obama 52% to 39%.

The increase in support for Hillary Clinton at the national level that Gallup saw in interviewing conducted Sunday and Monday continued in interviewing Tuesday night. Gallup Poll Daily tracking conducted Feb. 3-5 now includes three consecutive days in which Clinton has done well, giving her a 13-percentage point lead over Barack Obama, 52% to 39%.

Democratic preferences in Tuesday night's interviews -- mostly conducted before Super Tuesday election results were known -- were similar to Sunday and Monday night's interviews.

New post-Super Tuesday numbers will be out tomorrow.

    The viral Obama candidacy has peaked. If they were secure they would not come out punching after an alleged big win. The negative spin makes them seem desperate. I think they got all they could get in voters. The threats will not work.

    but the fact that they came out punching, means something internal has told them that they NEED to change course...being an overt attacker opposed to attacking through surrogates may be what their polls say Obama should do...but SOMETHING has given them an indication that their current campaign needs to change approach...

    Then I read about Patty Solis Doyle and others taking no pay, and about Clinton kicking in her own money.  That is the sort of commitment I always want to see.

    So I plan to donate another $100 tomorrow.  And I read that the drive is going so well that I'm going to see what I can give up for Lent -- after all, it is Ash Wednesday, right after Super Tuesday. :-)

    Interesting read (none / 0) (#29)
    by Bob In Pacifica on Wed Feb 06, 2008 at 09:23:07 PM EST
    Stephen Zunes' piece at CommonDreams.org, goes through the candidates' different foreign policy teams. With the likes of M. Albright, Sandy Berger and the rest, the reason behind Clinton's inability to admit that voting for Bush's war powers was wrong is now quite clear. All of her advisors were and are for invading Iraq. So if Joe Wilson is onboard with Clinton now, then let's just say his next career move is to trade in his hero/victim status for a spot on her team.

    What with the recent revelations of Sibel Edmonds that Brewster Jennings had already been exposed and compromised to the Turks and the ISI in 2001, the Bushies didn't really expose Wilson's wife a few years later. She'd already been exposed to the Safari Club. Surely if she were working back at the office in Langley instead of overseas, the operation was already over. Hmmm. So if Plame and Wilson knew that Brewster Jennings was over years ago, what was the big deal?  

    Just saying that I would be careful with trying to exploit a Republican career diplomat whose hero status may have a more interesting than heroic background story in order to essentially make a rude comment against Obama's intuition. After all, he is leading in the delegate count and a month ago he was supposed to have lost. Intuition or luck, he's in a good position today.

    New rumors of Clinton campaign shake up (5.00 / 1) (#13)
    by standingup on Wed Feb 06, 2008 at 08:11:36 PM EST
    Politico is speculating on this in a new article:

    Longtime Clinton friends say she recognizes the peril in careening between near-death primary night experiences and small-bore victories.

    Although the friends did not have details, they believe she may go ahead with the campaign shake-up she had been planning just before her surprise victory in New Hampshire.

    I am taking this with a grain of salt but it would probably be the best move she could make, especially if Penn is one on the way out.  She could use some one who can think outside the box right now.

    I was just checking CNN's site and they have Clinton winning one more delegate than Obama even though he won the popular vote easily.

    I didn't like this when it happened to Clinton in Nevada and I still don't.

    I do think they need to take Alabama out of the Obama column on the blogs that are giving so much attention to the number of states won though. After all, didn't Obama claim victory after the fact in Nevada? :)

    He did claim Nevada as a victory (as he slinked away on his plane)

    I don't like the popular vote not counting, either.  Leaves a bad taste in my mouth.

    How folks can say that Clinton is the "establishment" candidate at this point when Obama is raising so much money and getting so much support is beyond me.  He lost MA.  He lost NY, NJ and CA.  And, yes, I know he won CT, but big whoop.  If I hear "in her own backyard!" one more time I am going to puke.  This is a piling on, a ganging up, a whatever you have it and the fact is SHE IS STILL STANDING.  And for those of you keeping track, George "Obama has to win two of these three states: CA, MO and NJ" Snuffuluffagus had NOTHING to say about how Obama failed on all counts this evening.

    Shouldn't it tell us something that the middle class wants Hillary?  The latte dems talk all the time about the little people, the cause of the greater good, the social services, etc, but now, as a group, they are forcing a candidate down the throats of the very people they want to "save."  The middle class doesn't have time for hope and dreams of unity.  They are fighting for their homes, their children's futures, their very lives.  They want real world solutions and someone willing to work for them.

    I am hoping that the people fight back.

    Super Tuesday Victory Generates More than $4 Million Online in Single Day

    The Clinton campaign today announced that it raised more than $4 million online in the day after polls closed on Super Tuesday. It was Hillary's biggest single day of contributions since the campaign's launch.

    The campaign had set a goal of raising $3 million in three days -- and exceeded its target in less than 24 hours. The new goal is $6 million in 72 hours.

    "We are gratified for this tremendous outpouring of support," said Clinton Campaign Internet Director Peter Daou. "From over a million volunteer hours to millions of dollars in contributions from thousands of online donors across the country, Sen. Clinton's grassroots support is a key part of her campaign's success."

    In the past 48 hours, more than 35,000 donors have contributed to the campaign, helping Hillary keep pace with the combined fundraising power of Sen. Obama's campaign, MoveOn, and Sen. Kerry's 3 million person email list - to which Sen. Obama now has access.

    Just about the only thing that would cause them to rally around McCain is if they think he's being attacked dishonorably.  Then he'll probably get their votes.  IMO, attacking McCain on "character" would be a really stupid mistake.

    if I have to.  But as noted he's burned a lot of bridges.  You could be right but....

    Quite a few people are not politically active.  One of Obama's less endearing traits is his tendency to jab at the base and especially Hillary's base.  It's one thing to go after the nominee but he also makes little jabs at her base.  His most notable recently is his statement that while her voters will, of course, vote for him his might just not do the same.  Then his wife comes along and with amazing tone deafness says she'll have to think about working to support the candidate if it's not her husband.  What's worse is that she talks about Hillary's tone with complete deafness to the tone she just put out.  

    So while hard core political junkies will undoubtedly be able to overcome their revulsion and vote for someone who acts so arrogantly other voters may not.  We may have a serious problem if he continues to act so arrogantly about the people who aren't supporting him now.  

    For someone who sells himself on being able to bring people together he's amazingly divisive.  If I had seen any sign that he actually had that ability of bringing people together I might have supported him.  But from the beginning I've been turned off by his tone of us vs them.  Donnie McClurkin was the turning point for me.  If he had that ability it would have shown up there.  But he followed the same old same old throw the constituency under the bus politics we've seen again and again.  He's just a pol and not a very good one AFAIC.

    Half the states have already voted, and it makes no difference if those states decide to move in one direction or the other.  If every voter in New York and California decides to prefer Clinton at this point, the Gallup numbers will move but it won't amount to a hill of beans.

    So does that mean (none / 0) (#34)

    that if she looses the next round of voting, she is a HUGE deal because the polls had her ahead?

    We need Hillary Clinton.  She has been tested. She knows how to fight the GOP Machine, the SwiftBoaters, and their corruption.

    She can win and will win.

    Obama is a great speaker, but we need someone who knows how to win in Washington.  We need Peace & Prosperity again. A Clinton did it before and a Clinton will do it again.

    Why is Obama afraid to debate Hillary?  Because he is short on specifics.  Hillary has a plan, Obama does not.  He's a great talker, but we need a doer.

    Hillary is a winner.

    Know matter what it comes down to the votes and if they keep their promises. I just came across "The Leagues" FaceBook page. They ask you to vote for your favorite presidential candidate and your three top issues. After you vote they give you the result of your city. The result surprised me. I thought that my city were complete democrats. Check this out heres the link Apps.facebook.com/theleague
