Poll: Obama-Clinton Divide thecaucus.blogs.nytimes.com April 30, 2008, 3:17 pm By Dalia Sussman As the Democratic nominating contest rages on, most of Barack Obama’s supporters say they would be satisfied if Hillary Clinton wins the party’s nomination for president. But that positive sentiment is not entirely reciprocated among Hillary Clinton’s supporters, according to the latest New York Times/CBS News poll. More than six in 10 Democratic primary voters who support Mr. Obama in the poll say they would be satisfied if Mrs. Clinton wins the nomination. But among Mrs. Clinton’s supporters, just 49 percent say they would feel satisfied if Mr. Obama wins, while 50 percent would be dissatisfied. Nearly a quarter say they would be very dissatisfied. Of course, these feelings are being gauged as the Democratic race is still going strong, and those who currently forecast personal dissatisfaction with the other candidate’s victory might soften their stance once the nomination is secured and the party tries to unify for the general election. Still, the gap in satisfaction between the candidates’ supporters is noteworthy. At the same time, majorities of Democratic primary voters support a so-called dream ticket, regardless of which candidate occupies the top spot, according to the poll. About two-thirds say they would like to see Mrs. Clinton choose Mr. Obama as her running mate if she wins, including just over half of Mrs. Clinton’s supporters. Nearly as many say they want Mr. Obama to pick Mrs. Clinton, including just over half of Mr. Obama’s supporters. Regardless of who ultimately wins the Democratic nomination, voters overall expect a Democratic victory in November. Fifty-six percent think a Democrat will win the election, including 79 percent of Democratic respondents, 53 percent of independents, and even 29 percent of Republicans. The nationwide telephone poll was conducted April 25-29 with 956 registered voters, including 402 Democratic primary voters. The margin of sampling error is plus or minus 3 percentage points for all voters and 5 percentage points for Democrats. Complete poll results and story will be available this evening at nytimes.com.
