Obama Takes Big National Lead Over Clinton in Newsweek Poll
Friday, April 18, 2008
-- THE RACE: The presidential race for Democrats nationally
___
THE NUMBERS
Barack Obama, 54 percent
Hillary Rodham Clinton, 35 percent
___
OF INTEREST:
Obama's huge lead in this Newsweek poll marks a big shift from the
magazine's last survey in March, when he and Clinton were essentially tied.
Besides Obama's usual leads among men, blacks and young people, he leads in
this poll among women and older voters and is about even among whites. In a
matchup against Republican candidate John McCain, both Democrats are ahead
slightly.
___
The Newsweek poll was conducted April 16-17 by Princeton Survey Research
Associated International. It involved telephone interviews with 1,209
registered voters, for whom the margin of sampling error was plus or minus 3
percentage points. Included were interviews with 588 registered Democrats
and Democratic leaners, with a margin of sampling error of plus or minus 5
points.
