House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) tells the San Francisco Chronicle she is “upbeat about the prospects for a female president in her lifetime, namely her friend Hillary Rodham Clinton.”

DL Tracking Poll: Denn Leads by Landslide Margins
The spammers were not out in force during this poll of the Lt. Governor’s race, so I guess we have a more accurate reflection of our readers’ views on the race. Now, normal caveats apply: this is a non-random unscientific internet poll. But, DL readers favor incumbent Lt. Governor Matt Denn (D) over Republican Sher Valenzuela by a 53 point margin, 72% to 19%.

The Polling Report [6.4.12]
The new CNN poll late last week had some good news for the President despite a bad week economically. The poll echoed others on the econony: that if Americans are seeing economic troubles in their own lives and communities, they’re not taking it out on President Obama, as his approval rating is up to 52% and he leads Mitt Romney among voters by three points, 49% to 46%.
There is also an enthusiasm gap, with Obama voters more strongly behind him than Romney’s supporters. And on the most important question of this election: Who do you think better understands the problems faced by ordinary Americans — Barack Obama or Mitt Romney?” Obama leads by 19, 55% to 34%.
Over the weekend, have two new polls in California, which only confirm that RustyDils is a blithering idiot, as Obama leads by double digits in both of them. And we have a new poll out of New Mexico, but confirms the state’s strong Obama status.

The Polling Report [6.1.12]
Not much new today. Washington State is confirmed a strong Obama state. So is New York. Rasmussen has a poll of Ohio that only shows Romney up by two, so in the real world, that means Obama is up by 4, given the weighted bias of Rasmussen polling.
