Florida voted on January 29 in violation of Democratic Party rules. Clinton won that Primary by seventeen percentage points, although the candidates did not actively campaign in the state. There has been talk of a do-over” primary so that Florida’s delegates can be counted at the Democratic convention in August. Data released earlier shows that Democrats in the state favor a do-over while Republicans don’t like the idea of having their state invaded by politicians for a second time this season.

In Florida, 76% of Likely Democratic Primary Voters have a favorable opinion of Clinton while 72% say the same of Obama.

Demographically, Clinton leads by thirty-seven points among women but trails by twelve among men. She does very well among older voters while Obama is popular with younger voters. Nationally, Clinton has the lead over Obama in the Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll.

Forty-seven percent (47%) say they’d want Clinton in the White House to answer a 3:00 a.m. phone call with a foreign policy crisis. Thirty-five percent (35%) would rather have Obama answer that call while 14% of Democratic Primary Voters say John McCain would be the best in that situation.
