Gallup -Clinton 47% Obama 42%

[DemocratSinceBirth]

PRINCETON, NJ -- Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama remain fairly closely matched in national Democratic voters' nomination preferences, although Clinton appears to have stopped Obama's momentum over the past two days. Gallup Poll Daily tracking data from Feb. 2-4 show Clinton with 47% of the top choices of Democratic voters and Obama the preferred nominee of 42%.


Clinton has led Obama in Gallup's daily interviewing conducted Sunday and Monday. This suggests that her position may be stronger in Super Tuesday voting than some have anticipated given Obama's rapid closing of the 20-percentage point gap with Clinton that existed two weeks ago. Still, fluidity in the Democratic race in recent days has increased (with support for Obama higher on some individual days than others, and occasionally surpassing support for Clinton), suggesting shifting vote preferences as the media buildup to Super Tuesday has intensified (and as campaign advertising and news has barraged Democratic voters in many Super Tuesday states).

I remember in 2002 the final mid term election Gallup poll showed the Pugs with a 47% -41% generic ballot lead*...Nobody here wanted to believe it...The Pugs ended up having a real good night...The folks at Gallup wouldn't put on their site if they didn't believe it...

They have literally polled tens and tens and tens of thousands od voters since January...Because of their size they have the resources to do it... They don't have a two room office suite in DC or Crystal City...

5. As with the electoral college in the...

GE, the nominee will be decided by Super Delegates. That is the process is out of the voters hands, as usual. The US remains a representative Republic in more ways then one.
