Campaign 2008: CNN's New "Hillary Voter Defection Poll" Looks Like More Media Snake Oil Email Print

On Sunday, the eve of the Democratic National Convention, CNN was abuzz about a new poll revealing that Hillary Clinton primary voters, who had been recorded previously at a 16 % figure favoring John McCain, had suddenly ballooned to 27%.  The development was deemed more politically harmful to Obama since it was taken following his selection of Joseph Biden.

According to these same polling "experts" Hillary's voters represent middle class values of working families with many being hard working feminists.  Are these the prototypical voters of someone seeking to extend the Bush-Cheney legacy?
