New North Carolina Poll: Clinton 44, Obama 42(a stunning upset in the making???)
Insideradvantage ^

Posted on 04/30/2008 7:36:27 PM PDT by operationchaos

Just got an email from Insideradvantage's latest NC poll, not on their website yet.

April 30, 2008 — A survey of 571 registered likely voters in North Carolina’s May 6 Democratic primary shows Sen. Hillary Clinton having moved from a double digit deficit in an InsiderAdvantage poll taken in mid-April to a two point lead over Sen. Barack Obama in this telephone survey, conducted April 29. The survey was weighted for age, race, gender, and political affiliation. It has a margin of error of plus or minus 3.8% The results were: April 30(April 13) Hillary Clinton: 44% (36%) Barack Obama: 42% (51%) Undecided: 14%

Prior to his appearance on FoxNews Network’s “Hannity & Colmes,” on which the poll was released, InsiderAdvantage’s Matt Towery noted: “The shift has come almost entirely from white voters age 45 and over. There was a small drift of African-Americans back towards Clinton, but not so significant as to establish any trend.

“I believe when all is said and done, Obama will likely carry North Carolina; or if he loses the race, it will be by just a few points.

“Our polling generally does not indicate the eventual compression of black voters that Obama usually enjoys just before Election Day. If that happens, my guess is that he will pull this out. However, this poll is clearly an indication of reaction to the latest statements by his former pastor; and it forces Sen. Obama to split resources between Indiana and North Carolina. “If this white vote shift does not erode, given that North Carolina’s white Democratic voters are primarily in the Research Triangle, where education and personal finances are in the top tier for the nation, then I would say this suggests a major shift in all future primaries towards Clinton,” said Towery.

Agreed. This polling outfit makes Zogby look credible. Barry wins Carolina by six to ten.

The pollster was on Hannity and Dumb A$$ and said they were having trouble with the African American vote. That is why the poll numbers came out that way. He expected Hussien to carry the state but not by the big numbers that have been shown in the past. Go Operation Chaos.

If Hillary should ever enter the Oval Office as President, she will have one person to thank.

Rush Limbaugh.

Give me a break. There is no math that can get Hillary the nomination. If the Superdelegates abandon Hussein for her she is unelectible because the black and hippie vote stays home in the fall.

Obama is in deep trouble. The momentum has switched to Hillary, no matter how successful the Obama campaign is in getting the MNM to “laud” him for finally “breaking” with the racist and anti-America pastor. Watch the superdelegates leave Obama in droves!

McCain is in trouble for any number of reasons, not the least of which is the hope he had (no dashed) that Obama will be the nominee. Obama’s negatives are greater than Hillary’s but most importantly, McCain’s are greater than Hillary’s. It’s going to be an interesting summer and fall!

Though I kind of doubt she'll hand him a Cabinet position.

Maybe make him White House Communications Director...

LOL! Hannity and Dumb A$$!!! I think trouble with blacks for Obambi means 92% becoming 88%.

“””Watch the super delegates leave Obama in droves”””

The super delegates will not leave Obama, for they, being democrats, and cowardly by their very nature, will fear the explosion of the African American base of the Democrat party's against them if they abandoned their “homey” Obama.

Everyone can fully support Rush by voting for Hillary in the primaries and also fully support Ann Coulter by voting for Hillary the general election!

Hillary is a proven Terminator and is ready to destroy all her enemies on Day One...
