Ironic, you say? Didn't Mississippi vote for Obama, just like most Southern states? Didn't he just win another Southern primary? Yes. But consider the far more interesting polls from Mississippi:
- More Obama supporters said they would be happy with Clinton than Clinton supporters happy with Obama.
- Independents and Republicans lean more towards Clinton than towards Obama.
- Obama's lead among women is greater than his lead among men.
I kept on thinking someone had accidently transposed the candidates. In nearly every case in Mississippi, polling and exit-polling bucked the national and state-by-state trends in preference polls on these two candidates. What's going on in Mississippi?
That's what I'll be contemplating during this dry spell, as I go to nurse my sorrow over the lack of significant sporting events for the next six weeks...
