Hillary Clinton has pledged to continue her fight for the White House, but more and more people are expressing their opinion that the race is over. Now, we can add a national polling firm to that group.
National polling firm Rasmussen Reports announced on Friday that it will stop polling people about the presidential campaign of Hillary Clinton because her opponent, Barack Obama, will win the Democratic nomination.
The company’s vice president of finance and operations, Michael Boniello, distributed an e-mail with the following statement:
However, while Senator Clinton has remained close and competitive in every meaningful measure, she is a close second and the race is over. It has become clear that Barack Obama will be the Democratic nominee.
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.
The e-mail also stated that the Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Friday showed Barack Obama attracting 47 percent of the vote, while John McCain earned 44 percent.
