According to a new New York Times/CBS News poll, half of Clinton's supporters would be dissatisfied if Obama wins the Democratic nomination.
From the New York Times:
More than six in 10 Democratic primary voters who support Mr. Obama in the poll say they would be satisfied if Mrs. Clinton wins the nomination. But among Mrs. Clinton's supporters, just 49 percent say they would feel satisfied if Mr. Obama wins, while 50 percent would be dissatisfied. Nearly a quarter say they would be very dissatisfied.
The poll also found that 56% of all respondents believed a Democrat would win the presidency in November, including 29% of Republicans polled.
