More bad news for Hillary

There’s more bad news emanating from Iowa for Hillary. According to the Washington Post:

Illinois Senator Barack Obama gets the support of 30 percent of likely Democratic caucus-goers in Iowa, compared to 26 percent for Clinton, 22 percent for former senator John Edwards and 11 percent for New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson. The results are only marginally changed from a Post-ABC poll in late July, but in a state likely to set the course for the rest of the nominating process, there are significant signs of progress for Obama — and harbingers of concern for Clinton.

Read the rest.

    Toby,

    Obama does not have a superior organization and he is trailing in most of the big states.
    He also lacks foreign policy experience.

    Obama has much better Feb. 5 organization than Hillary does… if he wins some key early states, it isn’t a huge stretch to see him pushing that momentum into a big sweep on tsunami tuesday.

    And Obama isn’t less experienced than Hillary… whatever gave you that impression?

    Unfortunately the political environment is so bad for Republicans right now that just about any Democrat could win.

  • Troy La Mana

    Isn’t sad that a candidate with must less experience is more qualified then Hitlery?

    That isn’t saying much when you look at the Democratic candidates.

    Hillary could lose the first three states and still win big on February 5th.

    I hope she does win big, because she is not nearly as electable as Obama.

    If you look at the match up polls, Obama would be a much stronger candidate.

    I hope Iowa surprises us like last time. It’s really sad that the press is just focusing on the horserace instead of policy differences between the candidates. The lead will change
    several more times before the actual event.

    The same Iowa poll results showed respondents preferred change over experience. (But not too much change.)
