Poll: More Than A Third Of Dems Think Hillary Should Drop Out
That's the finding of a new Rasmussen poll released today: It says that 34% of Dems nationwide think she should bail.
That's only up two points since earlier in April, but it's up 12 from March, so the number is clearly growing. Meanwhile, twenty-two percent of Dems think Obama should drop out.
Perhaps not surprisingly, a large majority of Obama supporters -- 65% -- think she should drop out, while only half of Hillary supporters say he should go.
Separately, another Rasmussen poll finds that Republicans are growing more confident about taking on Obama this fall -- only 37% think he'd be the tougher opponent, down sharply from 54% earlier this month. Thirty-five percent of GOPers think she'd be the tougher foe, up from 20%.
It seems likely that these numbers are the result of the constant media discussion of Obama's difficulties with blue-collar voters, as well as her large win in Pennsylvania. The reappearance of Jeremiah Wright in the news -- with no assist from the Hillary campaign -- probably won't help matters in this regard.
