[WSJ-Market Watch]A new Suffolk University poll shows that Hillary Clinton leads Barack Obama in West Virginia—which holds its primary election tomorrow—by a staggering 36 percentage points.
Moreover, Clinton is also leading Obama in Kentucky, where voters go to the polls on May 20. She's ahead of Obama 58% to 31% there, according to a poll by the Lexington Herald-Leader and WKYT television.
Other polls are showing similar polling results in both states.
An American Research Group poll conducted May 7 shows a 43 percent lead for Clinton in West Virginia.
TSG Consulting (D), in a poll conducted May 3, gives Clinton a 40% lead in West Virginia.
A SurveyUSA poll gives Clinton a 34 point lead in Kentucky.
With Obama holding an unshakable grip on the pledged delegate count lead and a lead in the popular vote, but lagging by such huge margins in these two upcoming primary elections, what does it all mean?
Jake Tripper, writing for the ABC News political blog The Political Punch wrote:
“If these Democrats vote for Clinton, the presumptive loser, overwhelmingly -- as is predicted -- that indicates a real problem for Obama. I know the delegate math is close to dispositive for Clinton, but tomorrow's butt-stomping seems to me like it should merit some serious hand-wringing among Democrats.”
OUR TAKE: It is time for Barrack Obama to reach out to white working class voters by inviting Hillary Clinton to join the ticket as veep.
