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.

Obama slips in Polls
The Republican Party might not have to worry about B. Hussein Obama after all.
He’s Slipping in the polls. Big time!
New Poll in Pennsylvania has Clinton in the lead
According to a MSNBC/McClatchy/Pittsburgh Post-Gazette poll.
Personally, I think people, at this point are just sick of it all and want it all to be over with. I know, that I am.
Latest Gallop Poll – Clinton 46% Obama 45%
Quote:
Gallup Poll Daily tracking shows that Hillary Clinton now receives 46% of the support of Democrats nationally, compared to 45% for Barack Obama, marking the first time Obama has not led in Gallup’s daily tracking since March 18-20.
These results are based on interviewing conducted April 16-18, including two days of interviewing after the contentious Wednesday night debate in Philadelphia and the media focus that followed. Support for Hillary Clinton has been significantly higher in both of these post-debate nights of interviewing than in recent weeks. The two Democratic candidates are now engaged in intensive campaigning leading up to Tuesday’s Pennsylvania primary and are under a continual and hot media spotlight, increasing the chances for change in the views of Democrats in the days ahead.
Not that this really matters, because Obama’s ahead in the delegates and unless there’s a major shift with those people, I doubt Hillary will be able to pass Obama. It’s just interesting to see the sudden change in the percentage of people who supported Obama and now don’t.
Here’s how Obama does when match up with McCain:

Does all of America want a National Healthcare Program?
Wow. Big Surprise there. (not!)
Like me, most people know that our incompetent Government can’t even get a Border Fence up, you think they could provide a quality and the key word here is QUALITY healthcare system? Don’t make me laugh.

McCain closes Obama's lead in a poll…..that includes "leaners"….
An interesting poll, taken by the Associated Press-Ipsos shows that McCain is basically tied with Obama.
Quote:
An AP-Ipsos poll taken in late February had Obama leading McCain 51-41 percent. The current survey, conducted April 7-9, had them at 45 percent each. McCain leads Obama among men, whites, Southerners, married women and independents.
Clinton led McCain, 48-43 percent, in February. The latest survey showed the New York senator with 48 percent support to McCain’s 45 percent. Factoring in the poll’s margin of error of 3.1 percentage points, Clinton and McCain are statistically tied.
However, here’s the thing that kind of makes this poll a joke:
Although the race between Clinton and Obama remained unchanged, there were a few shifts in whom voters are choosing:
• The gender gap has mostly disappeared, with Clinton losing her advantage among women. In February, 51 percent of Democratic women supported Clinton while 38 percent were for Obama. Now they’re statistically tied at 44 percent for Clinton, 42 percent for Obama. That is partially offset by a decline in male support for Obama, down 7 points to 50 percent, while Clinton gained 10 points among men. She is now at 42 percent.
• Obama and Clinton are now statistically about even among households earning under $50,000. In late February, Clinton led 54 percent to 37 percent, but now it is just 48 percent to 41 percent.
• Obama now leads Clinton among self-described moderate Democrats, 51 percent to 35 percent. Previously they were 45 percent Clinton, 40 percent Obama.
The poll questioned 1,005 adults nationally. Included were interviews with 489 Democratic voters and people leaning Democratic, with a margin of sampling error of plus or minus 4.4 points; and 369 Republicans or GOP-leaning voters, with a margin of sampling error of plus or minus 5.1 points.
I mean, how fixed can a poll be? If that wasn’t a bad poll, I don’t know what is. 
Leaning?!?!?! That could mean anything, how do we know those people weren’t lying?
I really do not think that this will really matter, the general public and those paying attention, know the John McCain is going to be equated with Bush and his Policies and people will not vote for him. Obama will win, I think, I would be wrong. But I highly doubt people will vote for him.
