: TalkLeftCBS Poll And WSJ Poll: Obama By 3, Clinton Supporters Reluctant
By Big Tent Democrat (index)
Update [2008-8-20 19:52:7 by Big Tent Democrat]: CBS poll also has it 45-42 Obama.
The NBC/WSJ poll has Obama leading 45-42, but Obama still having trouble with Clinton supporters:
[P]erhaps the biggest factor keeping the presidential race close has been Obamas inability to close the deal with some of Hillary Clintons supporters. According to the poll, 52 percent of them say they will vote for Obama, but 21 percent are backing McCain, with an additional 27 percent who are undecided or want to vote for someone else. . . . For these reasons, Hart believes that Clintons speech on the Tuesday night of the Democratic convention will be a significant event. The Democratic convention is more than a coronation, he says. It is an event where the words of Hillary Clinton are probably going to be exceptionally important.
Oh, and Clinton would lead McCain by 6 49-43, in a hypothetical contest. But hypotheticals do not matter. And yep, picking Clinton for VP would solve Obama's problems to a great extent imo.
