The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Thursday shows Barack Obama leading Hillary Clinton 48% to 41% in the race for the Democratic Presidential Nomination (see recent daily results). Among African-American voters, Obama leads 81% to 7%. Among White voters, Clinton leads 50% to 39%. Among women, Clinton leads by eleven, 51% to 40%. Among men, Obama leads by thirty-two, 60% to 28%.

Questions for debate:

1) Hillary is leading among women, but not by that much. Why?

2) Hillary is still getting 7% of the black vote. Why?

3) Hillary is leading among white voters, 50 to 39%, but not by much. Why would whites vote in such huge numbers for Obama?

4) If Hillary and Obama were of the same race and gender, how would these poll results differ?

1) Hillary is leading among women, but not by that much. Why?

Because she is a women.

2) Hillary is still getting 7% of the black vote. Why?

Because she is a Clinton and people feel she can do a better job with her husband there to hold her hand.

3) Hillary is leading among white voters, 50 to 39%, but not by much. Why would whites vote in such huge numbers for Obama?

They are young, they are anti-war, they are anti-dynasty, Clinton represents more big governemnt in the pocket of Lobbyists. Barack is inspirational. He is a better speaker, his negatives aren't as high, He relatively new to the scene so he does not carry the baggage Clinton does.

4) If Hillary and Obama were of the same race and gender, how would these poll results differ?

I think Hillary pulls more Black votes maybe 5-5, maybe even 6-4. I think the men stay the same, I think Hillary loses the I'm voting for Hillary cause it is a woman's turn vote. The Hispanics vote close to the same. An anti-hillary vote is still in play. Plus you have to figure if everything but race and gender stay the same. You still have a younger, more inspirational and charismatic leader willing to Campaign in every state rather than just go for the BIG ones!!

Ho hum.

Hillary is leading among women, but not by that much. Why?

Easy. Deep down women are dumb and want to be ruled by men. They've fallen for the swarthy huckster.

Hillary is still getting 7% of the black vote. Why?
7% of black people aren't racist and perhaps sexist. That's extraordinary.

Hillary is leading among white voters, 50 to 39%, but not by much. Why would whites vote in such huge numbers for Obama?

Because as racist as most blacks are, some white men are even dumber than women.

No, don't thank me. Happy to help.

That's impressive, Lesly. flowers.gif

You just stereotyped and shot down dumb women, dumb white men (who are dumber than women, but said women who still manage to be oppressed by supposedly dumber white men - wait, what?!) and racist and sexist blacks.

I began to sense intolerance and hostility towards certain groups. But then it hit me:

You just have an incredibly sardonic outlook on everybody. Equally. laugh.gif
