NC PRIMARY POLL SHOCKER
CLINTON LEADS OBAMA

by

Just reported this evening on FOX News Channel’s “Hannity & Colmes” is a new poll out of my state of North Carolina — with our election looming for Democrats next Tuesday.

HILLARY CLINTON:  44%
BARACK OBAMA:  42%

Insider Advantage survey of 571 Likely Democratic Voters in NC
Poll Taken – April 29
Margin of Error:  +/- 3.8%

Given that on Election Days throughout this race, Obama has underperformed by about 5% in actual votes versus the pre-vote surveys…. Team Obama has got to be nervous about the once solid North Carolina election next week.

Stay tuned… Operation Chaos is in full Tar Heel mode right now!

  2. The current DNC talking point is that the Clinton vs. Obama race is actually helping the Democrats by increasing turnout and enthusiasm.
    The fact is that this didn’t happen in Pennsylvania: the state’s Democratic primary turnout was just over 50% (good, but not great). Pundits are actually saying that Obama’s disappointing turnout in Philadelphia’s black wards contribute to his defeat in PA.
    Any comments?

  4. Shoot, it didn’t help the GOP candidates, would a higher turn out really help either of these two? I thought I heard on Hannity yesterday that neither will have enough deligates and it will be up to the super-dels. If that is the news, wouldn’t it hinder voter turnout?

  5. Perspective on that IA poll.

    @2: And as for Pennysylvania, when looking at turnout, you need to look at more than one number. TNR column:

    Amidst all the statistics clamoring for attention during the last six weeks of 24/7 Pennsylvania primary coverage, there’s one key number that hasn’t gotten the attention it deserves: 306,918. That’s the number of new Democrats added to the voter rolls in Pennsylvania between January 1 and the voter registration deadline on March 24. 146,166 first-time voters joined the party and 160,752 switched their registration from Republican or Independent to Democrat. (A mere 39,019 first-time voters joined the Republicans.)

    However, this raises a logical question: what about the Rush effect?

    And the fact that most of the new Democrats are coming from Philadelphia and the surrounding suburbs offsets the reports from more conservative mid-state counties that voters might be switching as a result of Rush Limbaugh’s “Operation Chaos,” in which his “Dittoheads” register as Democrats to mess with the primary results. In those counties – Limbaugh country – the number of new Democrats is markedly lower.

    Possible takeaway?

    The new Democrats have pushed the party’s total past the four million mark – a historic first for any party in the state’s history. Those voters have the potential to change the results from Pennsylvania dramatically… in the general election in November.

    All true? All media guesswork? Possibly, but the voter reg. numbers are real.

    and @3: That has been the situation for months. It hasn’t hurt registration or turnout yet, with the above as an example.

  9. Bruce, it’s going to get worse for snObama. Looks like the moderator for Hillary’s next town hall meeting in the Tarheel State is her former WH spokesman.

    Wonder if ABC will run a disclaimer that Steffy used to be employed by Madame Voldemort? Ten to one says they don’t.

  10. Oh what a great night that would be if she were to win NC, I could use a Hillary upset win. Obama’s lose of white support is coming through in all of the polls, he used to have an average of 15 percent lead and now it is down to 7 percent according to the RCP. Hillary keeping him to single digits will be a good night for her, especially when everyone thought he would be winning it by like 20.

    She usually does very well with the undecides, she will most likely win them and that should make it a close race. If the youth vote and black vote becomes depressed because of his collasping performances as of late, you could see her pulling this off.

    He will have a rough time till OR if he loses both states on Tuesday, thats probably his next firewall state.

  11. All these extra Democrat registrations are gonna melt away when one or the other Dems lose. Either the women are gonna be upset because the first viable female candidate lost to Barack. Or the supporters of Obama will be mad enough to not vote for Ms Clinton in November. McCain isn’t the polarizing figure the liberals would like to run against. So the result will be a very winable election for the Republicans. The House and Senate is a different story.

  12. Gene: I think we’re supposed to believe that so many members of the Republican party got so frustrated with the party’s corruption, with the way the Republicans were spending money, with the way they weren’t accomplishing anything in Congress, with the way Bush and Congress were establishing new entitlements… that having gotten alienated and rejected by the Republican leadership that these voters now flock to the Democrat party, because everyone knows those are the issues that the Democrats really shine in.

  13. This is a great video demostrating how unfit to led Democrats are.

    This video is concerned with the Detroit City Council (I think).

    US Congressman Conyer’s wife is in the body. and she’s filmed calling someone she’s fight withing on the floor, “Shrek”. In the next clip schol kids come to visit the city council and these little kids absolutely destroy the Congressmans wife and sets her in her place

    After the episode of the fight is shown.. they then focus on the Obama and their hard gruielling
