Both Democratic candidates have 46% to 44% margins over McCain PRINCETON, NJ -- Barack Obama is maintaining his lead over Hillary Clinton among Democrats nationally in the latest Gallup Poll Daily tracking, with a 51% to 40% margin in the April 12-14 average. The current 11 percentage point lead is the largest for Obama this year, and marks the ninth consecutive day in which Obama has led Clinton by a statistically significant margin. The current Gallup Poll Daily tracking average is based on interviewing conducted Saturday, Sunday and Monday -- after the initial reports of Obama's controversial remarks about "bitter" small-town residents began to be reported in the news media. The two candidates will hold a nationally televised debate in Philadelphia on Wednesday night, and it is possible that this confrontation -- plus any delayed impact of Obama's controversial remarks -- may affect Democratic voters' perceptions in the days to come.

In general election trial heat match ups, both Democratic candidates now have identical, and slight, 46% to 44% margins over presumptive Republican nominee John McCain. -- Frank Newport

robin.. Combine the two, Clinton/Obama and you will have a landslide victory.
Except there are some voters who will never vote for the other, actually preferring McCain.

robin... Voters of both "parties" have voted overwhelmingly for more war, that is a tabulated fact. War is now acceptable. Clinton/Obama are very likely to embrace McKooK as Sec. Def. so we will have all three. Look at slick, he had a pub Sec. Def.
