5 Days to Massachusetts Democratic Primary, Clinton 24 points Atop Obama: In a Democratic Primary in Massachusetts today, 01/31/08, 5 days to the 02/05/08 vote, Hillary Clinton, on the backs of women, leads Barack Obama by 24 points, according to research conducted exclusively for WBZ-TV Boston. Clinton gets 57% to Obama's 33% today. But the contest is suddenly tied among men. All of Clinton's lead comes from women, where she leads by 39 points. This is SurveyUSA's 3rd tracking poll in MA, but the first since John Edwards withdrew from the contest. Likely Primary voters are asked to pick which one of 8 issues is most important to them. On all 8 issues, Clinton does better than Obama.

1. Do you actually have a link that shows the date this poll was taken?

Thanks!

[SoFlaJet]

2. I heard today on Hardball that

it's a LOT closer than that...if not even tied...

[Yuugal]

25. "I heard today on hardball that...."

I actually had to force my eyes to read the rest.

[goldcanyonaz]

3. Wow! Thanks for posting this sunonmars. They're already having her funeral on this forum.

Really looking forward to tonights debate.

[sunonmars]

4. This is an up to date poll, collected after Florida and Edwards leaving

[Joe the Revelator]

6. Why won't you post a link with a date in it then?

[goldcanyonaz]

7. Link inside.

http://www.surveyusa.com/electionpolls.aspx

2nd one down. First is Repugs.

[Joe the Revelator]

14. There is not date of survey on that link

The day they release the polls do not equal the date that they CONDUCT the survey

[Joe the Revelator]

16. This thread is bullshit, the poll was NOT taken before Edwards dropped out

It was RELEASED after Edwards dropped out.

[Little Star]

28. It says updated today. Jan 31. Didn't JRE drop out yest. morn.?

Why do you always have to be so nasty?

[Joe the Revelator]

43. Because the poll was not taken after he dropped out. The real question you should be asking is...

why didn't the op include the actual dates of the poll?

[goldcanyonaz]

17. Quit being such a meanie weenie. I posted what I found, not trying to deceive.

;(

[UALRBSofL]

8. Can anyone tell me

How they determine polls with so many absentee ballots turned in?

[Clarkansas]

5. Do you know what the numbers where in the last Survey USA poll from MA?

I am curious where the momentum is.

[sunonmars]

11. The funny thing is, now this is interesting

The Rasmussen poll which showed Clinton 43 and Obama 37 was taken before Florida on the 28th after SC and showed a bounce for Obama and the Survey USA was taken after Florida.

So is this a Florida bounce for Hillary, could explain the Tenessee poll today showing a huge leap for Hillary.

[sandnsea]

13. What poll?

The Mass poll on the 28th had Clinton at 56. What poll are you talking about?

[sunonmars]

15. here look

http://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/2008/president/ma/massachusetts_democratic_primary-539.html

[sandnsea]

18. Here, look, it was the 24th and she's dropped 3

I must have clicked the wrong link earlier. Edwards voters went to Obama, that'll create the momentum necessary to move this vote the other direction.

[sunonmars]

21. i'm saying that polls taken after SC showed a fall but poll after FL

showed it back again.

[sandnsea]

23. But she's down in Boston

:shrug:

The race is tightening up and she'll do well in some states and not well in others and the only thing that matters is significant movement in the polls at this point.

[sandnsea]

12. Hillary had 56 on the 28th

I already closed the site, but all of Edwards support went to Obama.

[sandnsea]

9. Hillary goes up 2 points

from the 28th. Gets nothing from Edwards. We'll see what happens after people get a whiff of yet another Clinton scandal.

[KennedyGuy]

10. But..But Rassmussen..whimper.. whine...Rassmussen...

[Zynx]

22. Rasmussen can be okay, but sometimes they are way off.

Their national numbers are usually pretty damn bad.

[sunonmars]

24. yeah i know and Survey USA is normally very reliable

[Bullet1987]

19. Obama is likely to take the lion's share of Edwards' voters in the

North-East. But different polls show different things. On Hardball, they were talking about some poll that showed it to be closer than that. And how accurate has Survey USA been?

[UALRBSofL]

29. I was looking for a date

Did anybody find a date of the poll?

[Little Star]

30. So, post some of the other polls.

[Lucinda]

20. Excellent! Thanks for the post.

K&R

[sunonmars]

[Proud2BAmurkin]

27. woop

[bicentennial_baby]

31. Please learn to spell Massachusetts...

:eyes:

[Pachamama]

32. Not this female Edwards supporter...

Polls, Schmolls....

My prediction is that a vast majority of Edwards supporters go with Obama - regardless of gender...

[AX10]

33. k/r

Very interesting. Maybe Florida did give her a bounce after all.

[Redbear]

34. Data was collected on 1/30/01

35. Kennedy country? Why aren't they listening to Ted and Caroline?

It's the women.....You go, girl friends.

[UALRBSofL]

36. Women Rule

:)

[Bluestar]

37. If it was taken after the "snub"

I totally get it. Obama has met the wrath of the American woman!

[anyothername]

38. i doubt it...

i give women more credit than that.

[Bluestar]

39. Welcome to DU--did you just find us?

[anyothername]

41. nope

been lurking for years. at least since the election in 2004, due to the coverage of election fraud this site provided.

looking to go back into lurk mode soon though. try not to get hooked to my quick wit and too cool for school attitude.

[bernicewilliams]

40. the poll was not taken after Edwards dropped out

It was taken the same day, when most people had not heard of the news.

[mtnsnake]

42. Its the "John Kerry Effect"
