For Obama: Good News In Purple States

Gallup's polling of 13,000 voters, released April 17, shows Barack Obama ahead of McCain in competitive so-called Purple states, as well as deep blue states. Here's the summary (link is found below).



Reading further tells you that Clinton would also better McCain in the purple states. However, it is Obama who has the larger margin in be trusty stalwart blue states. (Obama ahead of McCain by 14 points, Clinton ahead of McCain by 11.)

So all together that beats down the idea that Obama's not our electable candidate. The numbers show it's he who's the one who is more electable.

The new Gallup poll link is here.


I've also been following the Rasmussen poll numbers state-by-state for weeks now.

Turns out that in some of the states where Hillary brags she's won, Obama pulls stronger numbers against McCain than she does. Link shows graphic illustration.

Obama's general election advantage compared to Clinton shows in the paired Rasmussen polling against McCain in California [big, big prize], New Mexico, Nevada, New Hampshire, NJ.

Even in her own state, NY, Obama's margin is 1-point greater against McCain (O 51 - McC 38)than her own (C 50 - McC 38) in the Rasmussen polling. She can't claim an advantage against McCain even in the state she serves as a senator.

The numbers have changed some recently, where she now does better in Florida than Obama against McCain. And she has the edge in Missouri, a state that Obama won in the primaries.

The state-by-state summary is here at Rasmussen Reports.
