(April 30) -- Barack Obama leads Hillary Clinton by eight points among Democratic primary voters nationwide, according to a new CBS News/New York Times poll. But fewer expect Obama to be the Democratic nominee than did one month ago, and fewer see him as the Democrat with the best chance of beating presumptive GOP nominee John McCain in November.

But a smaller percentage of Democratic primary voters now see Obama, who has been on the defensive following revelations of his controversial former pastor's statements and his leaked comments that some voters had become "bitter," as their party's likely nominee. Fifty-one percent now say they expect Obama to win the nomination, down from 69 percent on April 3rd, while thirty-four percent now expect Clinton to be the nominee, up from 21 percent a month ago.

General Election Battle

In a head-to-head match-up with McCain, Clinton fared better than her rival: The New York senator led McCain 48 percent to 43 percent among all registered voters, while Obama and McCain were tied at 45 percent.

Four weeks ago, Obama held a five point lead over McCain. Since then, Obama has lost support among women, particularly white women, while Clinton has maintained her five-point edge.Obama's unfavorable rating has risen over the past month. On April 3rd, he was viewed favorably by 43 percent of registered voters and unfavorably by 24 percent. Now he is viewed favorably by 39 percent and unfavorably by 34 percent - a ten point increase in unfavorable rating.

2. Don't hold your breath

I, for one, will not be voting for Hillary, my dear sweet former Senator, if she should steal this primary.

I WILL stay home. Enjoy President McCain. Not much difference between her and any Republican.

11. Well, there's a shock, because people are usually overjoyed when their side loses.

:eyes:

[nsd]

6. This has been superceded by the CBS/NYTimes poll that came out today.

It has Obama beating McCain by 11.

[papau]

29. Hillary beats McCain by more than Obama/McCain margin in NYT poll

[geek tragedy]

9. Headline is a Hillbot lie--this is NOT the new poll

that came out today, but rather an old poll that came out last week.

[Tellurian]

15. The newest one coming out tomorrow will be worse..

The GOP isn't going to let up on Rev Wright and Obama 's association with Farrakhan..

[Hawkeye-X]

18. Oh please. Please provide evidence that Obama is linked with Farrakhan.

OTHER than the Million Man March. Did Obama make a speech there? Was Obama one of the leaders there?

No, and no. HAND, FOAD, GOAT.

[Hawkeye-X]

28. Not surprised - Crickets are chirping.

Tellurian refuses to provide evidence that has linked Obama with Farrakhan other than the Million Man March.

[Forkboy]

20. The new one came out today.

You're late to the party.

[geek tragedy]

25. It already came out, and you are WRONG yet again.

Then again, you are never right.

Now, back under your bridge.

[Forkboy]

16. Tellurian would do no such thing. She's a fine, upstanding member of the the DU community.

Why, she practically oozes truth, justice and the American way.

[akbacchus_BC]

22. You should get a duzy award for your response, I'll second it. n/t

[book_worm]

12. New Poll? a new poll out from CBS today gives him a 50*38 lead over Hill and 11-pt lead over McLame

your poll is from five days ago.

[HCE SuiGeneris]

14. Only problem is your selection criteria.

[Tellurian]

19. Your problem is it's the CBS/AP Poll..

[Hawkeye-X]

21. Your problem is that it's 5 days old, and cherrypicked.

New polls are already out. Even the CBS/AP poll shows a Obama lead of 50-38, and leads McBush by 11.

Got another new "old" poll that you want to cherrypick and waste a thread?

Hawkeye-X

[HCE SuiGeneris]

23. From the results...

"Obama leads Clinton 46 percent to 38 percent among Democrats who have either already voted in a primary contest or still plan to, with 14 percent saying they are undecided or don't know whom they support. The eight-point margin marks an increase from April 3rd, when Obama led Clinton by three points.

[MadBadger]

24. Actually, its a CBS/NY times poll, and they released a new one with Obama up 11 against McCain

and up 12 vs Hillary.

[papau]

30. And Hillary wins by more - AND she wins the swing states that Obama loses

[Tellurian]

35. Wait for the gnashing of teeth tomorrow..

:rofl:

[Forkboy]

26. Another epic fail. That's why we love you. Endless comedy!

[sudopod]

39. OMG

[Imagevision]

27. kiddin? Obama rebounds again is what I've already read...

[papau]

31. LOL - In Obama Land - also called DU -"Obama rebounds" will post 50 times to Hill wins posts

[Gore1FL]

32. Newer poll shoots 'new' poll down in fiery crash.

http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2008/05/04/opinion/polls/main4069259.shtml

(CBS) Democrat Barack Obama appears to have rebounded from some of the damage caused by the controversy surrounding his former pastor Rev. Jeremiah Wright, according to the latest CBS News/New York Times poll.

On one key measure, Obama has seen a big reversal since his denunciation of Wright’s remarks on Tuesday. He now leads presumptive Republican nominee John McCain in the hypothetical fall contest by eleven points, 51 percent to 40 percent. That compares to a tied match-up in a CBS News/New York Times poll that was released last Wednesday.
