Recent fundraising numbers show good news for Barack Obama but his poll numbers show a completely different story. In Iowa, Obama was averaging 18% in Iowa and now he is still stuck at 18%. In New Hampshire, he has gone down from 23% in January to 20% this month.
The Barack Obama 2008 election polls stat sheet also shows Obama stagnant nationally. It is understandable for a top tier candidate to drop in the polls as voters begin to learn about other candidates and start to show their support for them. Hillary Clinton has dropped in the polls as well. For example, Bill Richardson has gotten to near double digits in Iowa and he takes support away from the top tier when he does well.
The difference here is that the status quo does not help Obama. By staying the same, Clinton will end up winning the nomination. What has Obama done over the past 6 months to gain ground on Hillary Clinton? "Absolutely nothing" says an analyst from USAElectionPolls.com.
