WV Poll: Clinton By 38

By Big Tent Democrat

Via MYDD, this WV poll says Clinton by 38:

56% of those surveyed indicate they will vote for Clinton compared to 18% for Obama. There are 26% undecided voters, according to the poll of 403 voters by Mark Blankenship Enterprises. Compared to a previous MBE poll in February, Clinton is up 13%, while Obama's numbers haven't changed.

In terms of the GE, Obama appears to have no chance in West Virginia while Clinton could likely win it:

The MBE poll also looks ahead to the fall election against the presumptive Republican presidential nominee John McCain. Of the Democrats and independent voters surveyed, Clinton shows up better against McCain in West Virginia. 62% of Democrats and independents indicated they would vote for Clinton over 24% for McCain. In a head to head matchup between Obama and McCain in WV, Obama received 37% support compared to McCain's 35%.

It seems clear that all the talk of Obama's 50 state strategy was just that, empty talk. His electoral map will look to the West.
