Obama expands lead nationally according the the latest CNN poll of polls.
(CNN) – Barack Obama has extended his lead in national polls over Hillary Clinton, despite several days of negative coverage over his controversial comments about some small-town Americans. According to a new CNN analysis of several recent polls, the Illinois senator now holds a 9-point lead over Clinton, 50 percent to 41 percent. That compares to the 3-point margin Obama held over Clinton at the end of March. The so-called "poll of polls" includes surveys conducted between April 7-15 — meaning four of the days were those that immediately followed the initial reports of Obama's now-famous comments. The polls included in the analysis were those conducted by Gallup, ABC/Washington Post, Reuters/Zogby, and AP/Ipsos. Filed under: Barack Obama Hillary Clinton Polls |
