PRINCETON, NJ -- Barack Obama has edged up in the preferences of national Democratic voters, and now has a 48% to 44% advantage over Hillary Clinton. Obama's four percentage point advantage in today's March 24-26 average is his largest in Gallup Poll Daily tracking since he led Clinton by 50% to 44% in the March 11-13 average. (To view the complete trend since Jan. 2, 2008, click here.) Voters' preferences in two hypothetical November general election matchups remain close, with John McCain at 47% to Clinton's 44%, and McCain's 45% to Obama's 44%. The difference between McCain's 3-point advantage over Clinton as opposed to his 1-point advantage over Obama is not statistically significant, but marks one of the few times when the two races have not had either identical gaps or gaps only a point different. -- Frank Newport 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 21-22 and March 24-26, 2008. For results based on this sample of 4,420 registered voters, the maximum margin of sampling error is ±2 percentage points. The Democratic nomination results are based on data from March 24-26, 2008. For results based on this sample of 1,236 Democratic and Democratic-leaning voters, the maximum margin of sampling error is ±3 percentage points. In addition to sampling error, question wording and practical difficulties in conducting surveys can introduce error or bias into the findings of public opinion polls.

I think Hillary's negative tactics have completed the destruction of her campaign. Ed Schultz was saying in the first hour of his radio show today that superdelegates have told him that Bill Clinton and others have been phoning them and leaning on them, warning them that, if they support Obama, it will be political suicide, they will be out of "the family" and off Bill Clinton's "list". Mafia tactics.
To reason, indeed, he was not in the habit of attending. His mode of arguing, if it is to be so called, was one not uncommon among dull and stubborn persons, who are accustomed to be surrounded by their inferiors. He asserted a proposition; and, as often as wiser people ventured respectfully to show that it was erroneous, he asserted it again, in exactly the same words, and conceived that, by doing so, he at once disposed of all objections. - Macaulay, "History of England," Vol. 1, Chapter 6, on James II.
America doesn't need more Mafia tactics in the WH.
