Poll: Obama Leads Clinton Nationally
Thursday, March 27, 2008
-- THE RACE: The presidential race for Democrats nationally
___
THE NUMBERS
Barack Obama, 49 percent
Hillary Rodham Clinton, 39 percent
___
OF INTEREST:
The two rivals' standings in the Pew Research Center poll have changed
little from late February, the latest indication that so far Obama has
weathered the controversy over provocative sermons by his longtime pastor,
the Rev. Jeremiah Wright. While Obama has a mostly favorable image among
white Democrats, those with unfavorable views about him are likelier to say
equal rights for minorities have gone too far and to oppose interracial
dating. Almost one in four white Democrats who view Obama unfavorably also
think he is Muslim, when in fact he is Christian. Obama and Clinton both
continue to hold slender leads nationally in matchups against the
all-but-certain Republican candidate, John McCain.
___
The Pew poll was conducted March 19-22. It involved telephone interviews
with 1,503 adults, including 618 Democratic and Democratic-leaning
registered voters. The margin of sampling error was plus or minus 3
percentage points for all adults and 4.5 percentage points for Democratic
voters.
