Daily Presidential Tracking Poll

Sunday, April 20, 2008

In the race for the Democratic Presidential Nomination, Obama leads Clinton nationally 46% to 42% (see recent daily Democratic Nomination results). Today’s results continue to suggest a very stable race with Obama enjoying a consistent, but modest, lead. Obama has been within three percentage points of the 48% level every day for three weeks. Clinton has stayed within three points of the 43% level for well over a month.

While the national numbers are fairly stable, Clinton’s lead in Pennsylvania is down to three percentage points. That same survey found that 57% believe the Superdelegates should honor the primary results and vote for Obama even if something happens to convince them that Clinton would be a stronger general election candidate. Rasmussen Markets data gives Obama an 83.9% chance of winning the Democratic nomination.

5. This race ends Tuesday.

I can't wait for Jacson, Rodeo and the other Clinton supporters to come and support the Democratic nominee.

6. Polls are very good

if the methodology is sound, then the 900 can give you a decent picture as long as you take into account the margin of error.

I laugh when I see people quoting a poll that shows a two or one point difference and yelling that it shows so-and-so ahead!
