Zogby: Obama Leads Hillary Nationally By 14 Points tpmelectioncentral.talkingpointsmemo.com By Eric Kleefeld - February 20, 2008, 10:07AM The new Zogby national poll gives Barack Obama a huge lead over Hillary Clinton for the Democratic nomination, with 52% to her 38%. The internals show the two tied among women voters, with Obama winning men by about two to one — consistent with his Wisconsin win last night. The poll also shows Obama to be a much stronger Dem nominee against John McCain: Obama (D) 47%, McCain (R) 40% McCain (R) 50%, Clinton (D) 38% There is one caveat, though: Zogby's polls for the state races on Super Tuesday showed significant error in Obama's favor. On the other hand, the internals of this poll match up pretty well with the Wisconsin exit polling.

The timing for this Primary season is imo a little insane as it is being held in the severe winter and flu season. I question how these primaries can truly be representative for both parties----i.e. in Virginia we had only a 32% turnout for both parties----not very representative of the will of the people. That is why the caucuses and Conventions are important as they counterbalance Primaries held at times when there is not maximum participation of the voters. While I do not support Hillary it is unfortunate that she has the flu in the midst of the Primary. In contrast, the television personalities can function as they sit in front of a camera and pontificate on the latest twists and turns of the Primaries; whereas these candidates do not have that luxury. mj
