by Deb Cupples | The latest Rasmussen poll of Kentucky voters shows Hillary beating McCain and McCain beating Obama in the general election in that state:
| Clinton | 51% | .... | Obama | 32% |
| McCain | 42% | McCain | 57% |
A few days ago, Rasmussen reported the following polling results regarding Pennsylvania's presidential election in November 2008:.
| Clinton | 50% | .... | Obama | 45% |
| McCain | 39% | McCain | 43% |
Both polls show Hillary doing very well, but the headlines of Rasmussen's reports do not mention Hillary at all. I suppose we should be grateful that Rasmussen is still including questions about Hillary in surveys (unlike some other polling outfits).
Recent polls from Quinnipiac have more good news for Hillary: she's beating McCain in Florida, Ohio, and Pennsylvania:
| FL | .OH | PA | |
| Clinton | 48% | 48% | 50% |
| McCain | 41% | 41% | 37% |
| Obama | 41% | 40% | 46% |
| McCain | 45% | 44% | 40% |
Meanwhile, the news is not so good for Obama, who is losing to McCain in Florida and Ohio but beating McCain in Pennsylvania.
I know, they're just polls, and I question them regularly. However, political operatives tend to put stock in polls, especially when different ones indicate similar things.
That said, I wonder how some of the Democratic super-delegates are reacting to some of these Hillary-favoring polls -- especially the ones involving swing states.
I suppose we'll find out soon enough. Memeorandum has commentary.
