John McCain has moved to a six percentage point, 48% to 42%, lead over Barack Obama in Gallup Poll Daily tracking of the general election, while he edges out Hillary Clinton by only one point, 46% to 45%.
This is according to Gallup Poll Daily tracking from April 27-May 1 with 4,381 national registered voters.
The ongoing turmoil in the Democratic race — with neither candidate able to sustain a winning streak in the primaries and animosity seemingly mounting between them — seems to be benefiting McCain and hurting both Democrats. Last week McCain had fallen three points behind Clinton in the preferences of registered voters for the general election, and only tied Obama.
Although both Clinton and Obama have lost ground to McCain over the past week, the current results may be particularly troubling for Obama in trying to combat Clinton’s assertion to superdelegates that she would be the more electable of the two candidates in November.
The current six-point margin for McCain over Obama is the largest lead McCain has had over either candidate since Gallup began tracking general election preferences in early March. The gap between Obama and Clinton’s percentage of the vote when both are pitted against McCain is also the largest since the general election tracking began.
If Obama Looses NC and IN. I predict that, He’ll be done, and Hillary will most likely get the nomination. If Obama Looses one and wins the other, there will be a super-delegate fight, come the convention. If he wins both, I predict Hillary will drop out.
If these polls are right, If Obama wins the nomination, the Democrats will lose the election, come November, because as of now, people are losing faith in Obama, because of all the sideshows. You know them, I don’t have to name them, it is taking it’s toll on Obama.
Either way, it’s going to be one interesting show from now to November.
