Joe had posted a link last night to the Washington Post/ABC poll. Yes, it's a national poll and that isn't really relevant for the primaries, but, there were some interesting nuggets in the poll (also important is to look at the trends in the polls, whether a particular candidate is going up or down as compared to where they were weeks and months ago):
Single most important issue (all potential voters):
Economy/Jobs 39%
Iraq 19%
Morals/Family Values 2%
Abortion 1%
Do you "strongly" support your candidate?
Hillary supporters - 62% strongly
Obama supporters - 49% strongly
Which of these is more important to you in a candidate for president (all potential voters): (strength and experience) or (a new direction and new ideas)?
Strength and experience: 51%
New direction and ideas: 39%
Of those Democrats who think the campaign so far has been "mostly negative" (only 27%), 48% blame Clinton and 17% blame Obama.
