Obama widens national lead in USA TODAY/Gallup Poll

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.

1. Why are these numbers different from the 49% - 42% from today?

Is this poll more recent?

4. Talk about a wide swing...

Their tracking polls showed an 11-point Obama lead a week ago, then a 1-point Hillary lead on Friday, and now--just three days later--Obama's back up by 10. Wonder what effect all that will have in Pa.?

From the looks on Obama's face at some of his recent Pa. rallies, I keep getting the feeling he knows something we don't, and that it's good news. I suuure hope that proves out tomorrow!:eyes:
