SURVEY FIRM POLL-AXES CLINTON


By CHARLES HURT

May 10, 2008 -- WASHINGTON - Hillary Rodham Clinton may go on to West Virginia and Kentucky in hopes of proving she's a better candidate than Barack Obama, but at least one major national polling firm won't be paying attention.

Rasmussen Reports, which has been tracking the Democratic nomination daily for nearly two years, announced yesterday that it is dropping surveys of Clinton vs. Obama.

"It has become clear that Barack Obama will be the Democratic nominee," Michael Boniello, Rasmussen's vice president, said in an e-mail yesterday.

The pollster will now focus on the potential general-election matchup of Obama against Republican John McCain
