(CNN) – Where do Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama stand among Democrats nation-wide? It depends on the poll.
In a just released Newsweek survey, Obama has opened up a 19 point lead over Clinton nationally, 54 to 35 percent. But in Friday's daily Gallup tracking poll, the two Democrats are only separated by 3 percentage points.
In a CNN average of those two surveys as well as ones recently released by ABC News/Washington Post and Reuters/Zogby, Obama holds an 11 point lead over Clinton, 51 percent to 40 percent.

Well, what happened to The Clinton Machine so divine that there were prediction that Obama will be just disappear, I think the Obama machine is better than Clinton and it can beat the GOP, thats the facts America!
GO OBAMA GO!!!!! ALL YOU CLINTON SUPPORTERS DON'T CRY LITTLE BABIES. I WILL GIVE YOU A DISCOUNT ON YOUR NEXT PACIFIER.
What do you mean two stories? He leads her in both polls...it looks like one story to me.
Hillary forever!!! She's the best one for President!!
Hillary was ahead in super delegates by 22 and she picked up 2 more today. After the primaries, she will be way ahead in both delegates, super delegates and popular votes.
If you count Michigan and Florida right now, you can pack up old Obama's samsonite bags right now and send him back to Chicago.
Go Hillary 08
how comes i always get thi!!!!
Your comment is awaiting moderation!
All one has to do is look at the ownership of the outlet in which the polls were printed. The Washington Post owns Newsweek and has a content agreement with MSNBC, which blatantly supports Obama. Can you say "conflict of interest?" Sure, I knew you could.
So, McCain will continue his Vietnam's war in Iraq
As an Independent, Senator Clinton will get my vote and if the Democrats follow past mistakes as I believe they will, then I will support Senator McCain to the end. I have already experienced one president that promised change and uniting the country and Washington and I will never fall for that line again. In addition, it is sad that I have to watch Fox News to hear equal criticism of both Senator Clinton and Senator Obama.
I can't resist saying this.
Is a "CNN average," the same as a statistical average.
After all (19+2)/2 = 11
So, there's no reason that I can see to call out a "CNN average" rather than just saying "average."

DON'T BELIEVE THE POLLS THEY ARE ALL BS
A True black American- you have also just answered your own question. Y'all are on a roll tinight!
Polls are just sloppy estimates that some new agencies use to try to call the contest before it's over. The operable word here is SLOPPY.
I don't pay attention to polls anymore. Besides, Hillary supporters are too busy working to participate in polls. That's ok as long as they are able to get out and vote in the primary.
Go Hillary!
As an observer from Canadqa – Obama, Obama, Obama – all the way! You Billary supporters are really tacky, just like her pundits.
Just for informational purposes- in case anyone cares- the difference between the Gallup and Newsweek results is that the Gallup poll result mentioned is a tracking poll which looks at trends, rather than a single day or two, and Obama has been consistently ahead of Clinton. In a tracking poll a far greater number of people questioned over a longer time period. Gallup also has a daily poll, the one yesterday had Obama up by 7%. So Obama is ahead by all three measures.
Hillary should consider dropping the race if she wins bellow 10 points.
GO OBAMA GO. come to michigan so that we will have chance to shake your hands.
Joe at the top of the list sounds a little bitter
The polls are really pointless and a ploy to shape public opinion. I think the American people are smart enough to decide for themselves without the subliminal aid of fickle polls. Can everybody to get the facts instead of mentally masturbating on sound bites and headlines when making your decision? (GET THE CONTEXT!!!) If you like Hillary cool, if its Obama, thats cool too but let's be united (if you are a Dem or Rep tired of Bushonomics) come November..... My vote is for OBAMA '08 and yes, I'm bitter-GOD BLESS AMERICA!!! (naw naw naw...LOL...Can that be laid to rest too, good grief listen to the whole sermon and you'll have a different view trust me!)
