ABC/WaPo: Obama Leading Clinton By Ten Points -- But Clinton Should Stay In
The new ABC/Washington Post poll shows Barack Obama leading Hillary Clinton by ten points nationwide. Here are the numbers, compared to about a month and a half ago:
Obama 51% (+1)
Clinton 41% (-2)
The internals have mostly bad news for Hillary Clinton -- for example, only 39% of Americans believe she is honest and trustworthy, with 58% saying the opposite, and her personal ratings are only 44% favorable to 54% unfavorable.
On the other hand, 50% of Dem-leaning respondents said it made no difference for the Democratic primaries to continue on, with 17% saying it was a good thing -- and 55% even said Clinton should stay in the race if she were to lose in Pennsylvania.

Why hasn't she been Huckabeed?
Obama needs to put her out of our misery. It's time to take any of her major defects and pound it. Maybe he should use surrogates, but the time has come.

I love the newest AD they have with the union folks jeering at her, when she started "attacking" Senator Obama. That should be a sign to her that she’s over playing her hand, but she’s too dense to see it.

This is the beauty of it all -- Hillary's negatives are going through the roof and the damage is almost entirely self-inflicted!
She has now reached the point where the more she attacks Obama, the higher her negatives go, making her scorched earth tactics completely and utterly nihilistic. The more Mark Penn and Doug Schoen dictate her strategy, the worse she does. She has reached a point where there is no way for her to win the nomination and still have a chance to win the general election.

And the more Bill Clinton campaigns for her, the worse it gets for her.

Indeed!
As the Post notes:
Moreover, like Hillary, Bill is damaging his own reputation. Also from the Post:
