Obama widens national lead in USA TODAY/Gallup Poll


By Susan Page, USA TODAY

WASHINGTON — Barack Obama has widened his lead nationally for the Democratic presidential nomination despite a furor over his comments about small-town Americans, a USA TODAY/Gallup Poll finds. Rival Hillary Rodham Clinton is getting more of the blame among those who say their contest has become too negative.

As the candidates make a final push for votes in today's Pennsylvania primary, Obama leads the survey by 50%-40% among Democrats and voters who lean Democratic. That's a bigger edge than the 7 percentage-point lead he held in the USA TODAY poll last month.

2. but what about that one poll where hillary was up by 2 for a day?

this can't be right. I want a redo, and I'm gonna hold my breath until I get one. Obama's toast! He's done! It's over! He's tanking! My sister's nephew's cousin's bff's teacher told me that nobody showed up for his rally in Philly! He should concede!

3. Hopefully the Bin Laden ad will drive more people to Obama.

She is doing everything she can to look like another Bush. She really wants to go down in flames, I guess.

4. Where are all the Clinton supporters who said his drop in Gallup was a sure sign he was doomed?

5. Did you also see President Bush has an all time high disapproval rating of 69%???

Meanwhile, President Bush set an unwelcome record, scoring the highest disapproval rating — 69% — in the history of the Gallup Poll, which dates to Franklin Roosevelt's tenure. Bush's approval rating is 28%, matching the low point of his presidency.

And he deserves every % point of that disapproval!!!!!!!!!

7. Who are the morans who make up the 28% who think he's doing a good job?

It's hard to believe that figure isn't a fabrication. WHO would say that he's doing a good job? Even the hardcore right-wingers I know have just stopped talking about him.
