In February 5 States, Clinton Still On Top

[wyldwolf]

In states holding Primaries or Caucuses on February 5, the races for the Republican and Democratic Presidential nominations look broadly similar to the competition on a national level.

Data from the Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll shows New York Senator Hillary Clinton attracting 41% of the vote in the twenty Super Tuesday states. Illinois Senator Barack Obama trails Clinton with support from 23% of Likely Primary Voters in those twenty states while John Edwards is the top choice for 14%. New Mexico Governor Bill Richardson is preferred by 5% while Delaware Senator Joe Biden attracts 3% support.

2. She won't fall in those states until Iowa proves she's vulnerable; it'll be like clockwork.

4. To say February are polls are meaningless

at this point is putting it mildly. What happens in Iowa and New Hampshire will have a huge affect on this.
