In the latest poll among democrats, taken May 16-18
Barack Obama 55%
Hillary Clinton 39%

this advantage wouldnt be so high unless a number of Hillary supporters changed their mind. Thanks!

I think part of the reason Obama's popularity is going up is because Hillary is seen as a poor loser

Not to mention, she has been holed up in KY of all places.

Thats because most people across the United States are actually educated. She only does well with less educated folks and people over 65 years old. Yes I prefer Obama. I started as a Edwards supporter. I would be a Hillary supporter if she didn't lie so much and do and say anything she feels is needed to win votes. I just view her as to dishonest. She does have a lot of good traits, but honesty is not one of them. I honestly believe if Hillary was more trustworthy Obama would never be where he is now.

I think people are coming to terms with what seems to be the out come of this nominee process. We as democrats really have to pull together and work together to get in the White House. I dread to think what the next 4 years would be like if the Republicans win in November because the democrats can't or won't come together.

Much love for this post Hillaryduck, it would be sad if we dems lose because of a lack of party cohesion.

Exactly.

We've learned from Al Gore and John Kerry not to rest on our laurels.

Hmmm. Good point! That probably does explain the double digit lead in the polls.

Even Bush gets 33% out of this same bunch, so there is nothing too amazing about it.
