Interesting, but I think the Republicans have pretty much conceded California to Obama already. Obama has to worry about states like Missouri, Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Florida, and New Jersey.He probably has to win at LEAST 3 of those states.

He'll win Missouri, Michigan, and New Jersey for sure....and will be competitive in the other three.

It could be that in almost every primary he did better in the exit polling than in the actual voting. They also said his supporters might just me more enthusiastic to respond to polls and answer the post vote questions.

One of the last California polls before the primary showed Obama beating Clinton by 13%. Instead, she beat him by 10%.

Apples and Oranges. The Democratic Primary is very different from the General Election.

Aside from the election poll, just in sheer likability, Barack Obama is the only candidate of the three major candidates to have a positive approval rating. That speaks volumes.

McCain is no Ronald Reagan in the eyes of Californians.

And Obama has a stronger Unfavorable rating than McCain. That speaks volumes too.

He did not want you to see that. Looks like Obama is coming out of this primary as the polarized figure.

Not in California.

Even after all the garbage Hillary and the GOP throw at him,

59 percent of likely voters here now have a "favorable" impression of Democrat Obama, while a majority view both of the other candidates unfavorably.
