Hillary Clinton Leads Nationally Again

by @ 3:24 pm on March 5, 2008.

The latest Rasmussen Tracking Poll shows that Hillary Clinton has regained her national lead over Barack Obama:

The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Wednesday shows Hillary Clinton leading Barack Obama nationally by five percentage points in the race for the Democratic Presidential Nomination. Clinton now attracts 48% support while Obama earns 43%. Daily tracking results are collected via nightly telephone surveys and reported on a four-day rolling average basis. Virtually all of the interviews for today’s update were completed prior to the announcement of Clinton’s victories in Ohio and Texas last night.

Prior to the past three days, Clinton had trailed Obama every single day for three weeks (see recent daily results). Clinton has regained a solid lead (twelve percentage points) among women nationwide. That margin that expands to twenty points among white women. Yesterday’s victories for Clinton mean there is a growing likelihood that the campaign could stretch on in to the summer without a winner. Rasmussen Reports will be polling the Democratic Primary Race in Mississippi, Pennsylvania, North Carolina, and other states this week.

Clinton is likely to get a bounce from her victories yesterday as well and while the national polls don’t pick the candidate, they do show trends that are usually reflected in individual states as well.

She’s also overtaken Obama in the Gallup tracking poll:

PRINCETON, NJ — Hillary Clinton has moved ahead of Barack Obama in national Democratic nomination preferences, 48% to 44%, in polling conducted Sunday through Tuesday.

The latest three-day average primarily reflects Democratic attitudes before the outcomes of Tuesday night’s primaries were known. National Democratic preferences began to shift in Clinton’s favor on Sunday, gained momentum on Monday, and remained favorable to her on Tuesday. Any impact her success in Tuesday night’s elections may have on national preferences will be reflected in tomorrow’s Gallup Poll Daily election tracking report.

Here’s today’s chart:

    Hillary Clinton is not leading nationally. She put all emphasis on 2 big states without the attention to the smaller states. This is her way of saying I do not care for the small people in America although she and her husband are from small town USA. She will lose to Senator Barack Obama. Her momentum has a vicious streak that this country no longer want.

    She does not lead nationally, you are looking at propaganda. Obama is still ahead in delegates, and has the popular vote, and has enough superdelegates to win the election today if we had the vote between he and McCain. Hillary will lose to McCain and that is why all the talk show host and TV media that is basically on the Right are pushing Hillary. She can not go toe to toe with McCain or any other candidate on the Republican side. The dirt the Republicans will throw at her is so solid. Here is one part of what she will get: “Clintons to face fraud charges” http://www.worldnetdaily.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=56868 - and there is way so much more.

    She is bi-polar and skitzophrenic and that is part of the dirt, they have the medical records on her from when her husband was doing his two terms in the White House, she does so many drugs it is weird. The broad is dangerous, and we don’t need a sicko like her in the White House. Just look at her demeanor, it is so fake, she is the only one who thinks we are fools.

    She lied about Obama being involved in a scam on his NAFTA stands, and in reality, it is her who is the liar, because she is so pro-NAFTA and proud of what her husband did that it stinks when she says she will work to modify it. Hideous.
