| San Francisco's CBS affiliate, KPIX, commissioned a rather meaningless poll last week about the primary election gone by. (Full poll info (PDF)). The results now show Obama leading Clinton 49-43. I guess there's always more room on the bandwagon. I'm not sure this poll has any real meaning at all, but perhaps it does kind of put a dent in the "Obama can't win the big states" logic. Not that anybody could have credibly said that Obama was going to lose CA before, but this might pull one more arrow from Senator Clinton's quiver.
What's kind of fun here, is that the "presumptive nominees" do substantially better in the "who did you vote for" than the actual vote. In the real vote, the result was an approximate 10 point win for Clinton. In the poll, it was only a 2 point win. On the GOP side, it seems there was a 22 point victory for McCain instead of the 8 point actual margin. Funny how everybody wants to back a winner, huh? |
