ARLINGTON, VIRGINIA—Public opinion service Rasmussen Reports recently released data from its October 12-14 polling that indicates that Republican presidential candidate Ron Paul leads his GOP opponents against Democratic presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton among likely voters ages 30-49. He is the leading White House contender for the key demographic, polling higher than Clinton among baby boomers. Congressman Paul polls in at 47 %, compared with Clinton’s 44%, among likely voters aged 40-49.
The 30-49 demographic has been a key indicator in recent elections, and one in which Republicans tend to fare well in hotly-contested elections. In 2004, exit polls reveal that George Bush beat John Kerry 53% to 46% among 30-44 year olds, and all accounts indicate that this will be the most instrumental demographic in the 2008 presidential election as well.
“Ron Paul is the only Republican candidate who can beat Hillary Clinton,” said Paul campaign chairman Kent Snyder.
Rasmussen Reports polled 1200 individuals October 12 through 14 to compare their presidential preference for Ron Paul or Hillary Clinton. Preference polls for Rudy Giuliani and Fred Thompson against Clinton were conducted October 8 through 9, and for Mitt Romney and John McCain against Clinton between October 10 and 11.
