PRINCETON, NJ -- John McCain has moved to a six percentage point, 48% to 42%, lead over Barack Obama in Gallup Poll Daily tracking of the general election, while he edges out Hillary Clinton by only one point, 46% to 45%.
This is according to Gallup Poll Daily tracking from April 27-May 1 with 4,381 national registered voters.
The ongoing turmoil in the Democratic race -- with neither candidate able to sustain a winning streak in the primaries and animosity seemingly mounting between them -- seems to be benefiting McCain and hurting both Democrats. Last week McCain had fallen three points behind Clinton in the preferences of registered voters for the general election, and only tied Obama.

Wasn’t there another poll where Clinton was polled as beating McCain by a couple of points not too long ago?
We’re ridiculously poll happy.
I saw Clinton up by nine over McCain. Polls are the MSM tool to fool non interested voters before November 4th 2008.
Right. This is like checking on the thermometer outside your kitchen window to see if there’s Global Warming or not.
That means that the leftist slime machine will shortly be put into gear.
When I see a poll that uses 100 million responses I might take notice.
May not mean much, but it is fun to see polls that suggest to the Democrats they are locked into choosing the losing candidate.
I posted this because of the rash of poll posts that show the Democrats winning in the general.
The BS poll from 'Associated Press-Ipsos' has Clinton by 9 pts.
Hillary is only running even with McCain because because she’s getting the votes of conservative Democrats who will not vote for Obama. In the general election they will “throw her under the bus” for McCain.
On FR only bad news about McCain excites interest. Good news is either disputed or denied.
I think he inherited Obama’s empty suit. Many voters find it attractive.
"mcCain leads obama !!!"
A socialist is leading a Marxist. Exciting!
Yes I agree. I’m going to vote for McCain. Let’s see other FReepers do the same.
Puts the dems’ supers in a bind
The supers will base their decision on what is best for them and give up on the presidency if they have to
