10126 [lbo-talk] who likes Hillary -- rank: 1000
Poking through Gallup's site searching for the right track/wrong track question, I came across an analysis of who likes Hillary. Overall, respondents divide equally - 48% like her, 48% don't. But the strongest support of any demographic group comes from blacks, 84% of whom like her.

I can't stand her, but I have to admit she's a far stronger candidate than I would have guessed. She's very smart and has proven quick on her feet. I couldn't force myself to watch the 417 debates they've had so far, but word is that she's won, or at least not lost, every one. She's hardly committed a gaffe. She managed to upstage Obama yesterday, whose big foreign policy ...

Most have Hillary ahead, though not as much as a generic Dem: <http://pollingreport.com/wh08gen.htm>. The Iowa Market: <http://128.255.244.60/pricehistory/PriceHistory_GetData.cfm> has a generic Dem beating a Rep, 53-48.

<http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/TheNote/story?id=3105288&page=1> So the battle is joined -- and a new poll drops this morning to underscore the trends. This is a very big deal: Clinton, D-N.Y., enjoys her biggest lead of the year in the latest ABC News/Washington Post poll. She's leading 53-20 over Obama, D-Ill., with Edwards, D- N.C. registering at 13 percent. Let the numbers sink in, though this should not be surprising: Clinton is up 13 points since last month (and surpasses the ...
