Poll of polls: Obama losing ground

http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/

Obama's lead is now down to 1 point over Clinton nationwide, 45 percent to 44 percent, in CNN's "poll of polls." That margin is down 3 points from another CNN poll of polls conducted two days ago. In that analysis, Obama led Clinton 47 percent to 43 percent. The margin is also considerably lower than an April 18 poll of polls that showed Obama with an 11 point lead.

The poll of polls consists of three newly released national polls from Fox News/Opinion Dynamics, Gallup, and Newsweek. There is no margin of error on the poll of polls.

Both the Fox News poll and the Gallup poll were conducted partially after Obama's former pastor, the Rev. Jeremiah Wright, made a fresh round of controversial comments earlier this week.

The Fox News poll also appears to show Obama no longer has an edge over Clinton among independent voters. In head-to-head match ups, presumptive Republican nominee John McCain wins independents by a 4 point margin over Clinton (42-38 percent) and by a 10 points over Obama (47 percent to 37 percent).

cause i just joined Obama in the last few weeks!

:hi:

At least Ticker is professional enough to admit that it's too soon to tell: "Fox News...(and) Gallup...were conducted partially after Obama's former pastor...made a fresh round of controversial comments..." And as long as there are two Dem candidates, head-to-head polling against one GOP candidate is pure speculation.

GET THEE BEYOND ME, POLLS!

UNCLEAN! UNCLEAN!!!!

It doesn't seem fair!

So why can't Hillary close the deal?

that's bad news for the GE. In a state like ours, it's the independents who decide the race.

Because this ISN'T the GE. Nothing that happens here can or will relect on how Independents will vote in the GE. It's a long way off yet and the campaign hasn't started yet.

Just as he has always narrowed the gap or beat Hillary, he'll do the same with McCain.

Once Obama is declared the nominee, Dems will fall in line and the only ones going after him will be a bunch of tired old corporate sponsored, empty-hat right wingers who have spent the last seven years proving to the country and the world that they have no idea how to run a country.

Obama will be our next president. Like it or not.

Desperation.

see how the next round of primaries go.

is that it turns back six hours later.

But this could be good for Hillary. If the tide turns enough so she can get 90% of the remaining primary votes, she will lose by only a few delegates instead of a lot.

But keep on dreaming the impossible dream!

I second that!!! Enormous!!!

Go Hillary!

They ran Wright 24/7 - thankfully, your seeing a whole bunch of SuperD's saying we're not buying it! Look at all the endorsements Obama has received this week alone.

all of the Clinton people all of a sudden love the polls and know how to count lol

This, just from the Rev. Wright thing?

All from a guilt-by-association smear campaign.

We all know what the right-wing media has been doing what they're doing. Because it works. Because they have advertisers and psychologists on staff who have the art of manipulating the stupid down to a science.

I've lost what's left of my faith in humanity.

and Wright came across as a very bright, humble, caring, and sympathetic figure. He has done so much for his community.

considering the non-stop media pastorbaiting orgy, this is actually pretty good news for Obama.
