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.

One of the biggest problems is McQueeg. I just can’t believe the support he got here on FR.

For whatever reason? A Hillary nominee turns into a Hillary presidency.

Those of FR that want to blame Rush is pure nonsense. It is all in McQueeg’s hands and one of the problems is he does not want to upset his dimocRAT friends. One of his many problems.

If Hillary becomes the next President, Rush is history and Operation Chaos will be a history lesson on how Rush fell from grace. Of course he can always get a job at Air America where he can lick Hillary hiney on a daily basis.

I WANT HILLARY TO GET THE NOMINATION. YOU GO GIRL!

Uh...no. Obama is so much easier to beat.

If Obama is the nominee, in order to lose, McCain will have to be found in bed with a dead girl or a live boy.

Take that to the bank.

I live in North Carolina right now and going to vote for Obama. I encourage all FReepers to do the same in NC and Indiana.

Can it be thrown into reverse?

The Beest has been able to gain on Barry O by making sure his negatives rise. If he does the same, he'll be back on top again. If he doesn't, then he deserves to lose the nomination. But don't expect his supporters to come back to the Democrat plantation any time soon.

The destruction that the Rats are doing to each other will last for a very long time after this election, even if McCain is too weak to pull out a victory. In fact, a Rat president "proves" to the losing side in this nomination battle that "any Democrat could have won the White House," and doubles the enmity that the losing side has for the victors.

Those who fear a Hitlery presidency are not considering the effect that getting the nomination away from Obama would have on her party, and her ability to pass legislation. She would also energize support for bringing back a Republican Congress, which is my only goal at this point in time.

Sorry. It's already in a Subaru's gas tank in San Francisco.

Operation Chaos has moved the numbers for Hillary.

Why shouldn’t we blame Rush? He certainly would take the credit if the situation was reversed. If what he said on his show today giving advice to the super delegates doesn’t show that he is in the tank for Hillary, then I don’t know what would.

PA did it. They’re coming back. The Bill and Hill show. And Limbaugh, Ingraham, Levine, Coulter, Savage, Hannity, and other ‘conservative’ radio hosts may have handed them the keys to the WH again. Brilliant!!

libblu blows Hillary a big-fat, wet smooch.

Both Obama and Hillary have the same left-wing voting record. Both will only move to the center when they are forced to and both will try to be as left-wing as possible.

There are 3 candidates left for the 2008 race. Which one do you support?
