PRINCETON, NJ -- Barack Obama has extended his lead over Hillary Clinton among Democrats nationally to 52% to 42%, the third consecutive Gallup Poll Daily tracking report in which he has held a statistically significant lead, and Obama's largest lead of the year so far.

Is she the most left-footed, tin-eared, all-thumbs candidate in history, or what?
So I guess enough people were snowed by his “I Have an Excuse” speech to give him a bump.
Some people are such idiots.
How can this be surely
with all the racism from wright, obama his wife there are people still willing to vote for him
Of course there is also his unwillingness to salute the flag, his refusal to wear a Pin
either his voters are just as racist and hate America or they are completely ignorant to what has been said and done
If MCain had ever done anything similar in a lot of this he would have been hounded out of office
astounding it really is
obama and his racist pals must be really laughing at just how thick people are
Run, Hitley, run!
Gallup does this survey with REGISTERED VOTERS. The politics of the people that are registered but do not vote are not going to be moderate but extreme liberal, like young people, college kids, etc. This poll really mans nothing.
Survey Methods
Gallup is interviewing no fewer than 1,000 U.S. adults nationwide each day during 2008.
The general election results are based on combined data from March 25-29, 2008. For results based on this sample of 4,407 registered voters, the maximum margin of sampling error is ±2 percentage points.
The Democratic nomination results are based on combined data from March 27-29, 2008. For results based on this sample of 1,228 Democratic and Democratic-leaning voters, the maximum margin of sampling error is ±3 percentage points.
That’s a sweet sample size. How does Howie Wolfson deny the existence of this thorny fact?
Barak Obama is a piece of crap. He hates this country just like his so-called “pastor” does.
Noticed that a few have super-sized lately to avoid another NH fiasco.
And to answer your question, Howie passes by a mirror, notices he has no reflection, and moves on.
I thought for sure that the Wright story would stick. I’ve seen some amateur 527 ads on youtube, I just don’t see how that won’t completely pummel his campaign. Am I missing something here??
“The politics of the people that are registered but do not vote are not going to be moderate but extreme liberal, like young people, college kids, etc.”
There is a whole bunch of Reagan Democrats in there too. Of course I would suppose they are in the 42% for Hillary. Surprisingly Rasmussen has Obama up by 5 and within the MOE against McCain. I just don’t get it.
Why are we playing this game? We should bury the Marxist lying witch and get the Clintons out of our lives for good.
Then have a nice clean election with Obama strictly on ideas and beat him that way.
As long as the Clintons are around there will be water shortages from everyone having to shower, to wash the stench of them and their minions off of us.

I don’t think you are. I also thought the Wright mess would have done Obama in but the media has been helping him get through this in a big way. All their talk about how Obama made his “Lincoln like speech” defending Wright!
I have a feeling that Hilliary has something ready to come out very soon that will be bad enough to put the end to Obama. Otherwise, Hillary is looking at being beat before the convention.
...whereas in the General Election poll against McCain, there was neither appreciable damage nor a bounce...
In eleven days, Obama has gained a stunning 17% on Hillary, going from 7% down as of March 18 to 10% up as of March 29. Over the same eleven days against McCain, he has picked up 1%, from down 4% to down 3%.
What to make of this? It seems that people inclined to vote Dem are flailing around from candidate to candidate, depending on the news. When one Dem is finally eliminated (and it will almost surely be Hillary), I'm not expecting any big move to McCain, but I do expect a falloff in Dem turnout -- possibly a fatal one.
I’m shocked. After all the time she spend under sniper fire with our troops (or was machine gun/artillery fire I can’t remember) I thought she’d be ahead 90 - 10. Operation chaos has almost run it’s course. Now it’s on to defeat Obama.
The only thing these polls prove is which candidate is in bed with which pollster.
Somebody posted about this on Redsate the other day. It is from Pew

Not good. How McCain is up in the GE polls is actually a miracle. Of course the Dems are doing there best to lose this. Look they could literally make a white middle aged mannequin their candidate and win. But leave it to the Dems to make this about Race and Gender and turn it into a circular firing squad. LOL
Yes, your missing that the dem party faithful are far left wing nut jobs. The folks voting in Dem primaries probably like Obama more because he hates America because they do too.
Obama is going to have his ass anded to him when all America gets to vote. Your average voter doesn't hate his country like the Democrats who vote for their candidate.
