Obama Or Clinton: Who's More Favorable?

Well, if you listened to the media, or even many bloggers, you would hear, "Obama, of course".  Not so according to a new Rasmussen survey, taken from 12/26-29.  

                            Favorable     Unfavorable

Clinton:                    48                  50

Obama:                  43                  51

As is seen, the country not only has a less favorable view of Obama, although statistically insignificant, but also has a more favorable view of Clinton than it does of Obama.  So doesn't this automatically debunk Obama's claim to fame, that is, that he is the most electable. Remember, he said that he doesn't want Democrats to start off the next election with half the public not favorable to them.  I suppose, by his own argument, that Obama should not be nominated then.  And just think, if half the country doesn't like him now, just think how it would be if he is the nominee.  The GOP will slaughter him.  Hillary has been vetted and tested and her problems are all out in the open.  The same can not be said of Obama.  His negatives would be sure to rise.
