If Democrats hold a second Presidential Primary in Michigan, the race could be one of the most competitive all year. The latest Rasmussen Reports telephone survey finds that Hillary Clinton would attract 41% of the Primary Vote while Barack Obama would earn an identical 41%.
Clinton leads by seven among women and trails by eight among men. Clinton does better with low-income voters and Obama does better among upper-income voters. Obama leads among voters under 50 while Clinton leads among older voters.
Michigan voted on January 15 in violation of Democratic Party rules and Hillary Clinton was the only major candidate to have her name on the ballot. Despite that, she barely won a majority, attracting 55% of the vote while 40% voted for “uncommitted” delegates. There has been talk of a “do-over” primary so that Michigan’s delegates can be counted at the Democratic convention in August.
No wonder the Clinton camp has been silent on the issue of re-votes.
