Rasmussen Calls It

Not a good sign for Sen. Clinton. Rasmussen will discontinue its Obama vs. Clinton tracking poll, which today has Obama up 50-42, from 47-43 yesterday:

At the moment, Senator Clinton’s team is busily trying to convince Superdelegates and pundits that she is more electable than Barack Obama. For reasons discussed in a separate article, it doesn’t matter. Even if every single Superdelegate was convinced that the former First Lady is somewhat more electable than Obama, that is not enough of a reason to deny him the nomination.

With this in mind, Rasmussen Reports will soon end our daily tracking of the Democratic race and focus exclusively on the general election competition between Republican John McCain and Democrat Barack Obama. Barring something totally unforeseen, that is the choice American voters will have before them in November. While we have not firmly decided upon a final day for tracking the Democratic race, it is coming soon.

In the head to heads, Obama leads McCain 47-44, Clinton leads 48-43...statistically insignificant difference, with momentum in Obama's corner.
