AP/Ipsos: Hillary Takes Seven-Point National Lead Over Obama, Both Beat McCain
While most polls have shown Barack Obama withstanding the latest Jeremiah Wright controversy, the new AP/Ipsos poll shows Hillary Clinton now taking a strong national lead.
The numbers, compared to last week's poll:
Clinton 47% (+4)
Obama 40% (-6)Sample size: 514 Democrats and Democratic-leaners.
Margin of error: ± 4.3%
This poll still has some good news for Obama, though: He and Hillary Clinton are both defeating John McCain by similar margins, so Hillary won't be able to take an electability argument away from this:
Obama (D) 46% (+0)
McCain (R) 42% (-2)Clinton (D) 47% (-3)
McCain (R) 42% (+1)Sample size: 1,000 adults, weighted for region, age and gender.
Margin of error: ±3.1%
