Poll: Some Clinton supporters still not embracing Obama

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- One week after Sen. Hillary Clinton made a public show of unity with Sen. Barack Obama, a new survey suggests supporters of the New York senator are increasingly less likely to follow her lead.

A growing number of Clinton supporters polled say they may stay home in November instead of casting their ballot for Obama, an indication the party has yet to coalesce around the Illinois senator four weeks after the most prolonged and at times divisive primary race in modern American history came to a close.

According to a CNN/Opinion Research Corp. poll released Friday, the number of Clinton supporters who plan to defect to Republican Sen. John McCain's camp is down from one month ago, but -- in what could be an ominous sign for Obama as he seeks to unify the party -- the number of them who say they plan to vote for Obama is also down, and a growing number say they may not vote at all.

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.

It sure must be hard going from expecting to be handed the white house on a silver platter to actually having to fight for it, and losing.

Maybe if Hillary had not gone through the election acting like it was owed to her she might have done a little better. Stupid elitist bitch got beat by a better POLITICAN, who is NOT THE BETTER LEADER.

I would Choose Hillary over Obama any day of the week.

I still feel it will be a long shot for Sen. Barack Obamma to beat Sen.John McCain.
McCain in Nov.2008.

It's weird. I might have even voted for Clinton if she were the dem nominmee. It seems that the leftist media picked both nominees for both parties, and now they are, quite obviously, trying to skew the american opinion into voting for their de facto "man" in the race, Obama.


God bless you, Gore, for inventing the internet. The liberal frauds who have held undue sway over the "truth" are having their masks ripped away.

This election cycle is going to be a wake up call for moderate dems, mark my words, now that many are on the receiveing end of the media's propaganda stick.

The leftist media picked the candidates? I thought it was the people who showed up to vote.

Right, because the media has NO sway over voters, nor who gets the front page and who gets the back, nor who the commentators rave abotu during the debacles -- errr -- debates. Hell, they overtly snubbed Ron Paul.

Amazing isn't it that the most liberal, and most dsliked among conservatives candidate is the one running on the GOP ticket, isn't it? Or that the media treated Hillary like she was on the GOP ticket?

Oh?

So now Hillary is a moderate Democrat?

My oh my how the neocon party line talking points have changed.

I remember when neo-cons on these boards were all telling us that Hillary was the worst woman since Eve offered Adam the fruit of knowledge..

So, now she's a moderate that some neo-cons might have vvoted for?

Interesting, but I ain't buying it.

So by your thinking the liberal media elected Reagan and Bush.

That would be you. I can't think of a factual post you've made.

It's true, Hillary made you retards pee your pants until you found someone to hate more.
