ABC News Matchup: Obama 51, McCain 44.

[VolcanoJen]

Clinton 49, McCain 46.

ABC News Poll conducted May 8-11, MoE = +/-3 points

So, both are candidates are beating McCain, and our likely nominee is beating him by a pretty comfy margin coming out of this epic primary battle that was "tearing the Democratic Party apart."

The poll has already been mentioned, I see, but, why, this news calls for a drink! Cheers, Democratic Underground!!
