There were 342 voters polled on 3/28-31.

Diageo/Hotline Poll conducted by Financial Dynamics
Date: 3/28-31
Added: 4/5/08
Est. MoE = 5.3%
Barack Obama 50%
Hillary Clinton 38%
Unsure 12%

Quote:

Clinton’s favorability rating has declined 11% since last month (March, 43%; February, 54%). This decline is driven in part by the 13 point drop in registered voters who self-identify as Democrats that view Clinton favorably (March, 71%; February, 84%).

Another challenge for Hillary Clinton evident in this month’s poll is Democratic primary voters’ views regarding which of the candidates is attacking the other unfairly (see Table 2). Democratic primary voters are more than twice as likely to say that Hillary Clinton is attacking Obama unfairly, and there is a 29 point difference between those who say Obama has not been attacking unfairly compared to those who say the same for Clinton.
