Clinton takes lead over Obama in Gallup poll

[atal]

Thu Mar 20, 10:11 AM ET
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton has moved into a significant lead over Barack Obama among Democratic voters, according to a new Gallup poll.

The March 14-18 national survey of 1,209 Democratic and Democratic-leaning voters gave Clinton, a New York senator, a 49 percent to 42 percent edge over Obama, an Illinois senator. The poll has an error margin of 3 percentage points.

The poll was a snapshot of current popular feeling, but Clinton trails Obama in the state-by-state contest which began in January to select a nominee to face presumptive Republican nominee John McCain in the November election to succeed President George W. Bush.

I believe it's time polls have a minimum of 10,000 surveyed because they nearly always give the wrong picture! I find this one hard to believe.

15. Good yes, but historical

As some wants us to believe. This was not an earthquake, he has alot of work to do. Good speech yes, but don't get carried away, America is responding as we speak, evidently it was not enough to change their minds.

Oompas just need him to open his mouth and they swoon then pass out.
