Bad news> 23% of Dems say Obama Should Drop Out

By Pejman Yousefzadeh, May 23 2008

So we have this result of polling done to gauge whether more Democrats want Hillary Clinton to drop out of the race. The result may surprise people:

As Barack Obama inches closer to formally wrapping up the Democratic Presidential Nomination, the number of Democrats who want Hillary Clinton to drop out of the race has declined. The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that just 32% of Democrats now think Clinton should withdraw from the race. That's down from 38% who wanted her to exit the race just ten days ago. A month ago, 34% thought she should leave the race.

Among all voters, including Republicans and unaffiliated voters, 33% now say Clinton should leave the race. An earlier survey found that 29% of Democrats say she should run an Independent campaign for the White House. Clinton supporters are evenly divided on the question.

As for Barack Obama, 23% Democrats say he should drop out. That number has remained quite consistent through all surveys on the topic.

Wow. Obama has all but wrapped up the Democratic Presidential nomination and the Hillary-should-drop-out faction is larger than the Obama-should-drop-out-faction by only 9 percentage points? The mind reels.

Still, one cannot ignore the poll results indicating that more and more people want her to stay in through the end. And given the bad blood that has developed in the Obama campaign, any prospect that Hillary Clinton will continue to stay in the race will be an unwelcome one in the Obama campaign.
