Debate Poll: Biden Trounces Palin Among Independents

This Washington Post VP debate fact-check accounting shows Palin and Biden as about even on the mis-speak scale, but that isn't stopping the more rabid of the right from doing some heavily partisan oral foaming, pointing out Biden's oops and conveniently ignoring Palin's wrongs in the process. A real-time poll sampling over 1000 debate viewer reactions found Independent voters swarming for Biden 3-1 or more.

It Takes a Nation

Poll Shows Clinton with a Commanding Lead in PA

In a Democratic Primary in Pennsylvania today, 04/08/08, two weeks to the vote, Hillary Clinton defeats Barack Obama 56% to 38%, according to a SurveyUSA poll conducted exclusively for WCAU-TV Philadelphia, KDKA-TV Pittsburgh, WHP-TV Harrisburg, and WNEP-TV Wilkes-Barre.

Where Does Obama Go From Here?

On a South Carolina Saturday Barack Obama proved he can rally African-American Democrats to his cause, but his performance among the remaining voting demographics showed that he still has an uphill battle ahead of him in order to win the nomination. With Clinton focused squarely on New York, New Jersey, Arkansas, and California and polling strongly with big leads in those states, which comprise 44% of the Super Tuesday delegates, Obama has an uphill battle to win the nomination, but he's not without a plan.

Obama Dips in South Carolina Poll, Edwards Rises

Coming out of the South Carolina debate a few days ago we see Barack Obama hurting somewhat as a result of the scandal and increased news coverage questioning his ties to a Chicago slumlord. He dropped three points in the Zogby overnight poll, and I suspect he'll drop further in the last two days before the primary.
