Support within the Democrat party for Senator Hillary Clinton against Barack Hussein Obama has risen by 8 percentage points since she left the race, and 46% of Clinton supporters now say they will not be voting for Obama in November according to a new CNN/Opinion Research Corp poll.
How’s that Unity thing working out for you, Barack? In keeping with the trend during the primary, the more people know about Obama the less likely they are to vote for him.
Emphasis is all me.
In a CNN/Opinion Research Corp. survey completed in early June before the New York senator ended her White House bid, 60 percent of Clinton backers polled said they planned on voting for Obama. In the latest poll, that number has dropped to 54 percent.
In early June, 22 percent of Clinton supporters polled said they would not vote at all if Obama were the party’s nominee, now close to a third say they will stay home.
In another sign the wounds of the heated primary race have yet to heal, 43 percent of registered Democrats polled still say they would prefer Clinton to be the party’s presidential nominee.
That number is significantly higher than it was in early June, when 35 percent of Democrats polled said they preferred Clinton to lead the party’s presidential ticket.
