Obama would take California in November, Times/KTLA poll finds

Less than four months after losing the California primary, Democrat Barack Obama leads Republican John McCain in projected November general election matchups, a new Los Angeles Times/KTLA Poll has found.

Obama, the Illinois senator who has inched close to his party's nomination, would defeat McCain by seven points if the election were held today. New York Sen. Hillary Clinton, whose fortunes have faltered since her Feb. 5 drubbing of Obama in California, would eke out only a three-point victory, the poll found.

The poll appeared to illustrate that Democrats, at least in California, are gravitating toward the candidate who is broadly expected to eventually seize the party's mantle. Obama now runs better against the Arizona senator than does Clinton among many of the groups that powered her victory in the state, among them Latinos, Catholics and those without college degrees...

Overall, Obama led McCain 47% to 40% among registered voters, while Clinton led McCain 43% to 40%.

8. Obama will indeed carry California, and by a wide margin.

11. Wow, Hillary's actually within the margin of error in California.

Of course, the more rational posters on this board don't make much of May polls (or poles!), but I'm kind of surprised the Hillary supporters aren't jumping off the bridge over this one.
