Gallup: Obama 50 (+/-0), Clinton 43 (+1): Obama sustains Lead.
Edited on Sat Mar-29-08 12:31 PM by hnmnf
PRINCETON, NJ -- For the second consecutive Gallup Poll Daily tracking report, Barack Obama holds a statistically significant lead over Hillary Clinton in national Democratic preferences for the nomination, 50% to 43%.





The latest results are based on Gallup Poll Daily tracking conducted March 26-28. Obama's overall lead reflects solid advantages for him on each of the three days.

The last time Obama sustained a significant lead over Clinton for more than one day was in late February and early March, just before Clinton won the Ohio Democratic primary and regained her footing in the race. (To view the complete trend since Jan. 2, 2008, click here.)

The outlook for the general election is identical to what Gallup reported Friday. According to tracking interviews from March 24-28, John McCain holds a small, but statistically significant 4-percentage point lead over Clinton among national registered voters, while his 2-point lead against Obama makes that horserace to close to call. -- Lydia Saad

Obama remains down two vs. McCain, while Clinton remians down 4.

6. I don't think so. They are one of the oldest and most respected polling firms
And honestly, I hate to say it, but I think if Obama is the nominee, we have to expect that his final margin will be a few points lower than what the polls show the day before. So he needs to be up 5 in the gallup poll the day before the election for me to be optimistic.

7. I disagree because I think Obama will get a lot of voters that pollsters wouldnt consider "Likely"
