Rasmussen: Obama Ahead Nationally [View All]

[RBInMaine]

Look at the data below which mirrors that of MANY other polling firms now, and Hillary's NATIONAL negatives remain VERY high. This is a no-brainer. Hillary is a much greater risk in the general election than is Obama. The R's are hoping and praying every day that she will nominated. We need a national winner this time. It is NOT Hillary.
