PRINCETON, NJ -- Today's Gallup Poll Daily tracking update finds Barack Obama with an eight percentage point advantage over Hillary Clinton (50% to 42%), this gives him a statistically significant advantage for the first time since before the Rev. Jeremiah Wright controversy.

I guess Bosnia gate is just taking hold. Between people calling on her to drop out, Deanscream saying she can't go to the convention and that Casey endorsement of Nobama, how furious do you think Hillaryland is right now?

[OKSooner]

Well, the flip side of that means victory for the “G-d Damn America” candidate. Which will make the Dems the “G-d Damn America” party.

[umgud]

The Dems sure screwed the pooch this election cycle. It is a watershed moment for the Dems to have a possible female or black nominee, but absolutely stupid to have both in the same election.

All the Rats jumping off the Clinton Garbage Barge had better hope and pray she looses. There will be hell to pay if she wins. There is going to be hell to pay in Denver, for sure.

Obama may be more beatable because of Rev. Wright.

however, the media will be kissing his arse like we’ve never seen. and he gets the ‘feel good about myself’ vote.

I’m conflicted.

[Nachum]

It is a good question. The better question is who would you rather have as president should McCain lose?

[Always Right]

[mimaw]

Obama is easier to beat.

[HD1200]

I guess nobody is bothering to look at the ups and downs for both, sort of like an ocean wave. Give it another week and they will be back together at 45/45, even this being Gallop, they can only get away with it so long.

[Para-Ord.45]

Hillary`s negatives are so high she may be the preferable democrat candidate.

Hussein has the ability to somehow mesmerize people with the tone and cadence of his pseaking voice, regardless of the content of his speech. This cult like behaviour of the masses is disturbing. The fawning dominant media would excuse anything he would say or do.

[Old Phone Man]

Put a knife in the Incubus from Hell now.The nation does’t need anymore rotten clintons!

[Perdogg]

It doesn’t take operation chaos into account.

[Joe Boucher]

Looking forward to it.
Chicago was fun watching it play out too.

Expect to see a whole lot of disapointed folks ready to raise hell.
Better than the Olympics and or World Series.

[surrey]

I agree, as long as McCain decides to actually campaign against him.

Interesting, however, that there's been no Obama bounceback in the general election poll...

For that matter, Obama's numbers against seem not to have dropped significantly due to the Wright matter to begin with. That tells me that peoples' choices in the general election are firming up. A few Obama people moved to Hillary temporarily, evidently got creeped out, and moved back.

The most interesting polling data I've seen in the last week is the unusually large number of Obama backers who claim they wouldn't vote for Hillary in November, and vice versa.

[Veto!]

Barak-Hussein may or may not be more beatable than Hillary, but should the Dems manage to steal the election, he'd be a far worse president. At least Hillary votes with the Repubs now and then, salutes the flag, and has some sense of national security. I'm hoping and praying that she gets the nomination.
