12. I know..They are so full of shit! McCain leads him by 1 pt more and it is the end

of the world but Obama's lead over hers is statistically (did I spell that right? LOL) insignificant. PATHETIC.

7. Awesome...back on top as he should be! He also cut a pt off the lead McCain

had up against him. I say within 7 days he will be back to beating McCain despite the hatchet job by the media! I know CNN/MSNBC must be PISSED that their pounding on Obama is backfiring.

dislike Obama. I wonder who they'll hype once Hillary's out? Unfortunately, it will probably be McCain.

25. and Hillary somehow escapes "pounding"?

Until the media was browbeaten into covering her favorably, you do remember how this race was shaping up don't you? They pulled out their long knives for Obama, and it still didn't sink him, and it won't come November. People are becoming more & more savvy when it comes to seeking out information for themselves, and Obama's showing in this poll is just further proof of that.

Even with a full assist from the GOP & M$M, Hillary still hasn't broken 50%. What does that say about her, and how she's perceived by the voting public?

29. no, actually this Primary is for all Democrats to choose a candidate embodying their values

That choice is represented by the Delegates.

Do you really think anybody is buying Hillary's spiel enough to overrule the will of the People?

And the primary's sole purpose is to get a winning candidate in the general.

2/3 of a skewed sample is still skewed.

39. Oh Good!

By tuesday, Obama should be back to 51% mark, and that's where he'll hold until his official nomination, then he'll be busy blasting away McSame and polls will rise to astronomically by over 65% to 35% and hover it until November.

He'll also win 300+ electoral votes this November.

You know he loves these national polls when "his girl is up!" Of course when she's not they barely get a mention or are considered unimportant.

The bottom line is unless there is a "national story of the moment" Obama is preferred over Clinton among Democrats Nationwide.
