Things aren’t looking so good for Democrats’ hopes for the White House this year. According to a recent Gallup poll, “a sizable proportion of Democrats would vote for John McCain next November if he is matched against the candidate they do not support for the Democratic nomination.” The poll says that 28% of Hillary’s supporters would rather vote for McCain than Barack Obama, if Obama got the Democratic nomination. In addition to that, 19% of Obama’s supporters said they’d vote for McCain if Hillary got the Democratic nomination
This certainly shows the impact of the ongoing battle between Hillary and Obama is having on the Democratic Party. True, come November, I wouldn’t expect either of those figures to maintain the same level, but it is clear that the Democratic Party is divided, and the longer this primary race goes for them the worse it will be for the Democrats. But, don’t expect the race to end anytime soon. In fact, I think we’re going to see Hillary and Obama battle it out all the way to the convention in Denver. A Rasmussen poll shows that 22% of Democrats think Hillary should drop out of the race, and and equal number of Democrats believe Obama should drop out.
The Democratic Party is divided, and I’m loving every minute of it. One might even say there’s a quagmire in the Democratic Party.
UPDATE: The plot thickens…
