Gallup Daily: Obama Maintains Solid Democratic Lead (O:50% to C:41%.) (Graph Included)

[DerekJ]

PRINCETON, NJ -- Gallup Poll Daily tracking for April 10-12 shows Barack Obama continuing to hold a solid lead over Hillary Clinton in national Democratic voters' support for the presidential nomination, 50% to 41%.




The latest news in the campaign focuses on remarks Obama made, first reported on Friday, about working class and rural voters being "bitter" about the economy. Clinton and John McCain have seized on the remarks.

Initial indications are that the controversial remarks has not yet hurt Obama -- his 9-percentage point lead in the current results (based on March 10-12 polling) is right in line with the average 8.5-point lead he held in the prior six days' tracking results. Also, his lead in the current results shows a slight improvement from his 7-point advantage in March 9-11 polling. As the story gains momentum in the press, the coming days' tracking results will measure its ultimate impact.

6. This is income tax weekend.

And many will wait until midnight to mail off their returns this-coming Tuesday night. End of nonsensical bittergate story.

What should gain traction is Clinton's sudden love of guns after having McLame-like amnesia about supporting gun control and taking on the "gun lobbyists". Am waiting for the media to start working on that one.

7. Is anyone else suspicious of Rasmussen.

Their four day average has Obama slipping and losing significantly to McCain. Gallup's three day compilation had him slip a little for one day and then go back up. They say that it may not have taken hold yet. I think Ras will occasionally put out bs for propaganda purposes. This guy goes on fox and right wing radio all the time.

9. Rasmussen oversamples right-wing costituencies.

They're consistently biased conservatively, both due to oversampling/overnormalization and in the construction of the polls/questions.

10. That would explain a lot. n/t

12. Yes, Rasmussen is a toad shill. Look at Real Clear Politics, instead.
