Rasmussen Reports
Date: 1/31-2/1
New York
Added: 2/3/08
Est. MoE = 3.5%
Hillary Clinton 52%
Barack Obama 34%
Unsure 14%

Quote:

Clinton is viewed favorably by 80% of Likely Primary Voters, Obama by 77%.

The economy is viewed as the top issue by 43% of New York’s Likely Democratic Primary Voters. Twenty-four percent (24%) name the War in Iraq as the highest priority while 11% see Health Care as the most important issue.

Clinton remains the frontrunner for the Democratic Nomination, but Obama has gained ground since Obama’s huge victory in South Carolina and high-profile endorsements from the daughter and brother of martyred President John F. Kennedy. A Rasmussen Reports analysis earlier in the week noted that the numbers still favored Clinton, but sometimes the numbers don’t matter.
