Obama/Powell?

[One Eyed Cat]

When respondents were asked if they would vote for Obama if Clinton were his running mate, less than half said it would make no difference:

• Much more likely: 18.9 per cent
• Somewhat more likely: 10.8 per cent
• Somewhat less likely: 5.3 per cent
• Much less likely: 19.8 per cent
• No difference: 43.9 per cent

Of the possible running mates the Zogby poll included, Gen. Colin Powell, President Bush's former secretary of state, seemed to attract the most support for Obama:

• Much more likely: 23.1 per cent
• Somewhat more likely: 18.5 per cent
• Somewhat less likely: 3.1 per cent
• Much less likely: 6.4 per cent
• No difference: 47.4 per cent

That must have been a real specific population sampling.

It's Zogby. They have a decent rep I thought. Dunno.

The Zogby International telephone poll of 1,039 likely voters nationwide was conducted July 9-13, 2008, and asked respondents how the selection of certain vice presidential candidates would affect their likelihood to vote for the two leading presidential candidates. It carries a margin of error of +/- 3.1 percentage points.

Small pool definitely. I don't know how you isolate "likely".

no thank you sir.

I doubt he'll pick Powell. Polls don't predict voting behavior even within their own margin of errors generally. I did find it interesting that Powell is suddenly being included in Zogby polls v. Clinton for VP. Run a few clips of Powell with that vial of "yellowcake" in front of the UN and he's history as well.
