| Description | As Barack Obama inches closer to formally wrapping up the Democratic Presidential Nomination, the number of Democrats who want Hillary Clinton to drop out of the race has declined. The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that just 32% of Democrats now think Clinton should withdraw from the race. That’s down from 38% who wanted her to exit the race just ten days ago. A month ago, 34% thought she should leave the race.
Among all voters, including Republicans and unaffiliated voters, 33% now say Clinton should leave the race. An earlier survey found that 29% of Democrats say she should run an Independent campaign for the White House. Clinton supporters are evenly divided on the question.
As for Barack Obama, 23% Democrats say he should drop out. That number has remained quite consistent through all surveys on the topic.
Three percent (3%) want both candidates to drop out and 48% aren’t ready for either to leave.
Overall, Democrats are evenly divided as to which candidate would be a better general election candidate against John McCain. Forty-six percent (46%) view Clinton as the stronger candidate while 44% say Obama will do better. |
