The race, like many others in Election 2008, remains very fluid. In addition to the 12% who are undecided, another 17% of voters say they might change their mind before voting.The shifting opinions of male voters is about the only significant difference between this poll and the previous poll. A recent commentary by Susan Estrich wondered if the “G-word”—gender—is the reason for Clinton’s struggles.
In Ohio, Clinton is viewed favorably by 81%, Obama by 70%. Those figures have changed little over the past week.
Eighty-two percent (82%) of Likely Democratic Primary Voters say that Clinton would be at least somewhat likely to win the White House if nominated. Seventy-five percent (75%) say the same about Obama. Those figures are similar to the earlier survey as well.
Fifty-one percent (51%) of Ohio voters name the economy as the top voting issue. Eighteen percent (18%) say it’s the War in Iraq while 14% name Health Care issues as the top priority.
Ohio is one of two states that the Clinton campaign and many outside experts have deemed essential for the former First Lady to win is she is to have a chance of winning the Democratic Presidential nomination. Texas, which also votes on March 4, is the other. The latest Rasmussen Reports poll in Texas shows Clinton’s lead is down to three points.
