A Rake’s Progress

Hillary jumps to huge 20% lead over Obama in latest New Hampshire poll.

September 3, 2007 · 15 Comments

Seems the last New Hampshire poll by the American Research Group was an aberration. It showed Hillary and Obama in a statistical dead heat.

Perhaps helped by Obama’s careless remarks about anything related to foreign affairs, Hillary is back in the lead again in New Hampshire by a huge margin.

Hillary also has formidable leads in Iowa and South Carolina as well.

As reported on the ARG web site, the details look like this:

Among men in Iowa, Hillary Clinton is at 25%, John Edwards is at 22%, and Barack Obama is at 22%. Among women in Iowa, Clinton is at 30%, Obama is at 23%, and Edwards is at 19%. Among men in New Hampshire, Clinton is at 31%, Edwards is at 17%, and Obama is at 17%. Among women in New Hampshire, Clinton is at 43%, Obama is at 17%, and Edwards is at 11%. Among men in South Carolina, Edwards is at 33%, Obama is at 31%, and Clinton is at 19%. Among women in South Carolina, Clinton is at 43%, Edwards is at 17%, and Obama is at 13%.

Anyone who said that women will not vote for a woman for presidents needs to rethink that assessment. In moderate South Carolina, woman are heading towards Hillary in droves, by more than a 2 to 1 margin over Edwards, her nearest competitor there. Hillary also gets 43% of the women’s vote in New Hampshire.

    I wouldn’t vote for a woman and I most definitely am a woman. I dont believe Hillary is trustworthy, and she certainly has not depicted herself as campaigning creatively. She has stolen everything from the other candidates in the field. I cant stand the woman and cant wait for her to lose.

    Caitlin, waituing for Hillary Clinton to lose is just like waiting for hell to freeze over. Isn’t going to happen.

    Hillary is the front runder now and will continute to be up to she is nominated at the Democratic convention.

    GO HILLARY!

    I am a Hillary supporter. I like her economic and government reform policies and I trust her, implicitly, to finally correct the destructive healthcare system in our country. Hillary is a hero in the eyes of many Americans. She has been helping people for over three decades, not just here at home, but all over the world.

    I am proud to support her and I will certainly vote for her. She will be a great President.

    I completely support Hillary for President and believe she will get the job done.

    Caitlin - I am ashamed of you. It’s one thing not to support Hillary, but to not support a woman speaks volumes for your own lack of respect for yourself.

    Go Hillary.
    I do think Obama would be a great VP, though so would Edwards. Edwards may be the better candidate for VP.

    Well Caitlin; thats quite pathetic of you.

    A women president is long overdue; if theres a women who can do it - its Hillary.

    Ill be a first time voter(1 8) and Ive been 100% for Hillary since she announced her candidacy on my birthday - January 21.

    Im voting for her because I trust her, shes honest and intelligent. After 8 years of the Bush regime, we need someone with lots of experience. That person is Hillary. Plus shes the only one capable and for sure to make “change” happen.

    To Caitlin, you are lost in politcs,if you dont see how the image of the US is around the world you absolutely are a Neo-Con you need a change and the only candidate who can deliver that is Hillary Clinton.

    Caitlin: You’re stupid.

    The Iowa polls have been fairly close for a long time now and I expect Hillary to gain as time goes by with Edwards losing support. Once she wins Iowa, I cannot see even a close race in any of the following states.

    I believe Hillary WILL be our next President of the United States.

    I remember her even as a teenager during the Watergate hearings …. as she stood out like a sore thumb! I was impressed then, and I still am impressed.

    I believe Hillary Clinton will go down in history, not only as the first woman president, but as a very good president of our great nation.

    GO HILLARY!

    She’s the most exciting Presidential candidate I have ever known. There’s a long way to go, but she inspires my confidence. It will be an honor to vote for her for President. As for VP - I say Clinton /Webb in ‘08!

    Caitlin, how can Hilary steal everything from the other candidates when they don’t have the things that Hilary has and is qualified for. She obviously has much more experience and knowledge. You don’t know what you are talking about. You don’t realize that a woman president may be what we need. She has been through a lot in life but comes back strong and that’s what we need. Our country is desparate for change and it’s going to be her.
    Good luck Hilary
