The state's Democrats, having voted for Clinton in the primary, now strongly favor Obama in a poll:
A new Monmouth University/Gannett New Jersey poll shows Barack Obama is more popular than Hillary Clinton in New Jersey, even though Clinton beat Obama by ten percentage points in the state’s February 5 Democratic primary. Obama has a 58%-27% favorable rating, while Clinton is at 46%-43%. And by a 45%-38% margin, more New Jersey and Democrat-leaning independents say that would rather see Obama capture the Democratic presidential nomination.
The truth about Clinton remains: massive negatives, little appeal to Independents, and several looming scandals involving Bill.
