Gallup Daily Poll: Obama Up by 11

Barack Obama now leads Hillary Clinton ffor the hearts and minds of Democrats by 52 percent to 41 percent in the Gallup daily tracking poll conducted May 15-17. The margin of error is 3 points. The last time Obama held this big of a lead was in mid-April. But Gallup’s news isn’t as good for Obama on the general election front. In data collected May 13-17, McCain edges Obama 46 percent to 45 percent, with a 2 percent margin of error, indicating how competitive that race looks from this vantage point. Clinton leads McCain 47 percent to 45 percent, also not a statistically significant number.
