Polls: Obama Ahead By 7 Nationally

First, Gallup shows he has dipped below 50% for the first time in 5 days (49/42), but he still maintains more than a statistically significant lead…for the 11th day in a row.

Then, Rasmussen has almost the exact same numbers (48/41), showing a pretty steady “national lead” trend for the Illinois senator…

In the race for the Democratic Presidential Nomination, Obama leads Clinton nationally 48% to 41%.

Obama leads by sixteen points among men while the two candidates are essentially even among women. In Pennsylvania, Clinton leads by nine. Rasmussen Markets data gives Obama an 82.0 % chance of winning the Democratic nomination.

And yes, the latest from Rasmussen shows a 9 point lead for Hill in Pennsylvania, showing that her lead has closed to single digits in yet another poll.

More as it develops…

Last nights debate saw awesome performances by Hillary, Charlie & George. These questions revealed so much about the man. Hillary was clearly focused on communicating with the voters. Clear and concise, it is obvious she’s been there-done that.
we really had a chance to see them engaged in specifics about things like raising taxes and social security. She’s so knowledgeable and clearly grasps what approach works and what to stay away from. Obama would raise the cap for social security while giving tax rebates/credits. He just doesn’t get it.While he’s in his “things the president does 101″ Hillary will be on Volume 3 of “required Tasks”

As far as the National Poll–stay tuned

You Hillary people just don’t want to face it. You candidate is a lier and she just loves slinging mud. No substance. No character. No integrity.
