Quote:

By the slimmest of margins, when asked who they would have preferred as Democratic nominee Barack Obama edged out Hillary Clinton (Barack Obama 41%; Hillary Clinton 38%; other 8%). The much publicized potential voter slippage among women is not present in Rhode Island at this time. Although women preferred Clinton to be the nominee over Obama, 42% to 37%, in the November match up they were even more likely to choose Obama than men (Females 56% Obama, 22% McCain; Males 50% Obama, 28% McCain).

According to the survey’s director, Dr. Victor Profughi, “Rhode Island College is the longest, continuous public opinion laboratory in the state. We are delighted that one of the nation’s finest survey field organizations, Opinion Factor, has joined with us in this study.”
