Sen. Kuehl Backs Clinton, and Clinton Shows Lead in New Poll

August 09, 2007 @ 8:03 PM

Sen. Hillary Clinton got some good news as she lands in California today: State Senator Sheila Kuehl has endorsed her candidacy and a new Rasmussen poll shows her with a strong leader.

Kuehl's endorsement is huge. She is perhaps the most progressive Senator in the state and the leading voice on health care reform. The endorsement comes on the day of the LGBT debate in LA today.

"Our country is ready for change and I strongly believe Hillary Clinton is the candidate with the experience to lead our nation forward," said Kuehl in a Clinton campaign press release. "I have confidence Hillary Clinton will represent all Americans and all communities and I am proud to support her candidacy."

Clinton also has a strong lead in a new Rasmussen poll that's out today.

"Clinton�s lead, still significant, is smaller than it was a week ago (see daily numbers). Support for the former First Lady has eased a bit and Obama has regained some lost ground ever since Clinton made controversial comments defending lobbyists. Just 24% of voters believe that Clinton would not be influenced by lobbyists and just 19% believe their interests are represented by a Washington lobbyist."
