"May 3rd, 2008 2:12 pm ET

Real Clear Politics latest data on the race:

North Carolina
Rasmussen – Obama +9
Insider Advantage – Obama +5
Zogby – Obama +9
Research 2000 – Obama +7

Why does CNN support distortions of the facts?"

How is this distorting facts? In fact, if you use these polls, his lead is even narrower!! My, how "intelligent" some people are!

I thought Clinton's lead before today's announcement was 7% This doesn't sound like an increase for Hillary – rather, it's the opposite – a 2% slip. I wish you folks wouldn't slant things in Hillary's favor all the time.

The biggest problem with obama. Is that even "Working" On universal health care is a pipe dream that will never come around. The costs of universal health care are so great that if we ever tried it we would go so broke it would be unreal...Obama may be a talented speaker...But so was hitler.

This all TV MEDIA are bias. Giving big favor to hillary clinton and trying to single out obama on purpose by telecasting obama's pastor's speech again and again.

Clinton is still in the race because of the media and her negative campaign while obama is truthfual person whom american understands well.

I guess when Obama moves from 7% to 9%, that means Hillary is gaining!!

Also, when the delegate counts are higher for Obama than Hillary, it means Hillary is winning!!!

I love CNN. I better go and watch the news instead of wasting my time on an uninformed blogg

I'm just not falling for the gas tax holiday bait. We're tired of politicians trying to manipulate us. We let it happen because we were scared and trusted those politicians to take care of our interests. Now we understand the consequences, and that's why we are changing the electoral map.

Hillary is a socialist and will do nothing but ruin our country. She plays dirty politics, takes and gives bribes, and lies alot.

It's time for a honest government.

No chance...Obama has NC but Hillary can stay in NC and out of Indiana and hope....Don't forget we have had early voting going before Rev Wright episode...so Obama will take NC with ease!!!

Clinton has stayed for over three decades with a cheating husband, and an impeached president who brought dishonour to the White House. That seems match, checkmate with the Wright "scandel".

Why is Wright the picture on this blog?? Is he running for president. CNN has sunk so low...

nothing has changed.

time for her to bow out.

I hope that Obama will win.

In Europe we believe that he will make a real difference in US foreign policy and he will be a respectful leader. I strongly believe that he will improve Americas reputation at this area.
He seems also more honest than Hillary which seems that she is acting

If everyone knew all about the fraud civil lawsuit Paul v Hilliary Clinton that the news media and the judge don't want you to know about. It remains to be seen what the voters will think of Hillary. go to peterfpaul.com and read all that you can about the case. Hillary is called a fraudulent Senator.

Hillary Clinton WILL BE the nominee. Obama can't win the states the big states. His double digit number of states are mostly "red" states. Get over it, Obamacans.

How sad that the American people may actually vote for such a liar, conniving, hateful person that is HRC. Do you really want Bill roaming the WH again? Do we really need more of the divide politics of the Clinton/Bush era. 16 years of this is enough. America deserves much better than these people, better than McNuts also....

Go Obama - our best hope for a sane future!

By: Alex

Alex — Sat, 03 May 2008 18:32:16 +0000

I wouldn't be surprised if it turns out to be even closer. Zogby's (May 1-2) poll is an outlier.

Hillary is our best chance at beating McCain. Go Hillary !!!

I hope Obama wins both states, maybe this thing will end. Hillary is not to be trusted, she knows the gas tax thing is a fraud, if someone said we need each american to grt $5000.00each she would promise it. wake up people. GO OBAMA.

Here's the deal. If Obama doesn not get the nomination, Dems lose the white house and here's why. The African American community will feel put off, and rightfully so. Consequently, even if 50% of them stay home in November, Clinton loses by the margin of error.

Go Obama!!!!!

@Charlotte

"What happened to his NC landslide victory?"

What happened to Hillarys landslide victory in Pa?

The media talked about that 9.4% victory for Hillary in Pa as a BIG victory.

She led in Pa with over 20% and closed with 9% and it was a big victory.

I bet that if Obama only wins by 9% it will be a BIG victory BUT for Hillary.

I see the double standard coming.

It becomes more evident to me every day that CNN is nothing more than a propaganda network for the establishment. What's encouraging to me is that I am not the only one to see through their facade. More and more people I talk to have reached the same conclusion that CNN is nothing but FOX Lite.

Looks like CNN doesn't like my post criticizing their one-sided reporting. Why else did CNN dump my post twice? Is CNN for real, or is it just a front for Clinton's fantasy land?
