Rasmussen: Obama Achieves Biggest Lead Ever
From a new Rasmussen tracking poll out today:
The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Saturday shows Barack Obama with his largest lead ever in the race for the Democratic Presidential Nomination. Obama now attracts 51% of the vote while Clinton earns 41% (see recent daily results). Obama leads 61% to 30% among Men including a thirteen-point advantage among White Men. Obama leads 84% to 12% among African-American voters while Clinton holds a seven-point edge among White voters. Among Democrats, Obama leads by four. He holds a much healthier lead among unaffiliated voters likely to vote in a Democratic Primary.
Caution should always be used before reading too much into a single day’s results(see video commentary on long-term trends). However, this is only the second time that Obama has ever reached the 50% level of support and just the second time since the March 4 Primaries that his support has moved more than three percentage points in either direction from the 45% level.
As for Clinton, this is the lowest level of support she has earned since the contest for the nomination became a two-person race. It will take several more days to determine whether this signals a shift in the race or is merely statistical noise. Daily tracking results are updated daily at 9:30 a.m. Eastern Time.
New polling released today shows that Obama has opened a twenty-three percentage point lead in North Carolina. In Pennsylvania, Clinton has the lead but Obama is gaining ground. Rasmussen Markets data now give Obama a 85.3 % chance to win the Democratic nomination.
