Election 2008: New Hampshire Democratic PrimaryNew Hampshire: Obama 39% Clinton 27%
Rasmussen Reports ^ | Sunday, January 06, 2008 | Rasmussen Reports

Posted on 01/06/2008 9:11:44 AM PST by Rudder

The latest Rasmussen Reports telephone survey in New Hampshire shows Barack Obama earning 39% of the vote while Hillary Clinton attracts 27%. The survey was conducted on Friday night and Saturday afternoon. All interviews were conducted after the Iowa caucuses and before last night’s debate.

Obama is seen as the most electable Democratic candidate. Eighty-seven percent (87%) believe he would be at least somewhat likely to win if nominated. Seventy-six percent (76%) say the same about Clinton and 75% think Edwards would have a chance. Fifty-one percent (51%) of the Likely Democratic Primary Voters believe Obama would be Very Likely to win. Just 38% have such confidence in Clinton.

Rasmussen Markets data suggests that Barack Obama is currently favored to win in New Hampshire. Current prices imply that Obama has a 79.3 % chance of winning while Clinton has a 22.5 % chance. Numbers in this paragraph reflect results from a prediction market, not a poll. RasmussenMarkets.com is a “futures market” that harnesses competitive passions to becomes a reliable leading indicator of upcoming events. Using a trading format where traders "buy and sell" candidates, issues, and news features, the markets correctly projected both Obama and Huckabee as the winners in Iowa.

If we don’t stop trying to ruin Her and start trying to beat the Democrats, we are going to end up with a charismic anti-American running the country. We can beat her, we probably can’t beat him. An even bigger problem is that he will bring tons of Democrats into office with him and we Could lose this country as we know it in one term. BE CAREFUL !!!

“Barack Hussein Obama has a shot in Michigan.” : popdonnelly

He isn’t on the ballot and neither is Edwards. They can’t even be wrote in.

I was wondering why Obama's InTrade Michigan futures contracts were so low.

Well, now I know.

I think he would be easier to beat than Hillary. Her strength was that she made herself to be the arch enemy of the vast right-wing conspiracy, and the MSM eagerly bought it hook, line and sinker. Obama has no such allegiance from the press and he has no depth.

Totally, this is all scripted for a Clinton comeback. Anybody who says she is done is fooling themselves.

I keep thinking the same thing. There is just one glimmer of hope out of this, though. Truly, even among my liberal friends, and I have a few...NONE of them support Hillary at all. They like McCain (my idiot bro-in-law) and Obama. Not Hillary.

It's not that I don't put it beyond her to manipulate the vote to that extent. It's that I can't find anyone who would actually vote for her in the end.

Either way, I'll opt for caution, as you are wisely doing.

But I'll secretly cling to the hope she meets with a stunning upset during the primaries.

Add New Hampshire to her list of defeats...many more to follow.

Defeat is certainly possible, but this is why Hillary supporters were so keen to get absentee ballots in before Iowa's vote - this isn't a live caucus, this also includes ballots sent in weeks ago.

If it's a close ballot, Obama can feel a lot more secure going in to South Carolina, but it'd take more pandering than the MSM has already done to give him anything like a victory on SuperMegaAwesomeGiganticTuesday.

PLUS, Michigan is an open-primary. What’s to stop Republicans from strolling into the booth and pulling the lever for Obama?

Remember back in 2000 when the union rank and files did this in an attempt to de-rail W by giving Michigan to McCain.

It would be a freaking scream of Obama beat Hillary as a write-in on the Michigan primary.

Obama would be the more formidable candidate against the GOP in the general election.

This is true, and cause to mourn the degenerate state of the American electorate.

And you don’t think they have “friends” at the FBI who are still feeding them files ?

A grim possibility. I hope not.

I have a feeling conservatvies won’t challenge Obama as hard as they would with Hillary for fear of being called a racist.

Extremely salient point, and something that has worried me for a long time about an Obama candidacy and presidency. There can be no honest criticism made of Obama because one will automatically be marginalized as "racist" (or half racist?) in doing so. Watch the 'kid gloves' treatment Obama gets, and compare that to the vitriolic hatred that has been directed at President Bush for 6 years. Worrisome indeed.

Just replay the Bentsen line from 1988 and we should be fine.

Experience??? Where is it?? She sure hasn't done anything for Upstate New York except funnel money to the Dem "monopoly" in the disgusting City of Rochester.

Why is it that every time Hillary said that she was the candidate with the most experience, Biden, Dodd and Richardson kept their mouths shut?

All three, no matter how incompetent they are, have far more experience than Hillary!

LOL... Amazing isn’t how the Rats mange to run the most polarizing opposite to the reality of current events during the elections..

1. John Kerry (Anti-War) Vietnam Vet runs during the initial campaign against Saddam Hussein that the Rats immediately tried to turn into Vietnam.

2. Barrack Hussein Obama (Name says it all) Probable Muslim when we are trying to defeat a muslim enemy that has sworn our destruction as its goal...

I don’t like McCain but Bush has been no great shakes either - signing nearly every big government program that’s come his way.
