Rasmussen is a very good pollster
They are one of the best and have a proven track record, although they tend to be slightly biased towards Republicans (though not sigfinicantly).

Why does Obama do so much better than Clinton? Independents! Obama wins the indie vote by big margins against McCain and with Hillary it's even or she loses. Obama is a fresh new face, new approach to politics and doesn't have the baggage other candidates have. He is exactly what the indie vote in this country is looking for.

Look at some of the other G/E Rasmussen polls:

1) Obama up by 7% in Colorado
2) Obama up by 12% in Nevada
3) Obama down by only 1% in Missouri

Obama also consistently is leading McCain in their daily national polls by 3-6%. Clinton is down by 3%-7%.

Obama's numbers only go UP as he campaigns and people learn more about him. This guy will be a map-changer in the 2008 general election! We're making a big mistake if we don't nominate him.
