A new CNN 'Poll of Polls' shows Obama gaining in North Carolina.

(CNN) — It appears the battle for the Democratic presidential nomination is tightening up in North Carolina.

A new CNN poll of polls released Sunday suggests Senator Barack Obama, D-Illinois, has the support of 50 percent of likely Democratic primary voters in North Carolina, with 42 percent backing Senator Hillary Clinton, D-New York, and 8 percent still undecided.

This eight point Obama margin is down from a nine point lead Obama held in Saturday’s CNN poll of polls and down from his recent double digit lead in the state.

187 delegates are up for grabs when North Carolina and Indiana hold primaries on Tuesday.
The CNN poll of polls is an average of the latest surveys in the state.

Remind me again why we are supposed to put anything into these polls???

Mae   May 4th, 2008 11:10 am ET

Zogby has him at 9 yesterday and today. You guys are bad at analysis grasping at anything for a headline.

Also Zogby has Obama over Clinton in Indiana now by 3.

This is it, make no mistake where we are.

Deborah   May 4th, 2008 11:11 am ET

Nice of CNN to leave rev. Wright's pic as the lead story all weekend. Another example of the media making the decsion of who will be elected!

Belle   May 4th, 2008 11:11 am ET

What is the percentage of UNDECIDEDS????

If it is 8%…then NC might become a tie, like Guam….there are 500 spoiled ballots in the largest village of Guam…so Clinton could wind up winning in the recount!

Gino   May 4th, 2008 11:11 am ET

Finally Mr Obama electvility is a huge issue, too many contraversial issues with out answers, we can not lose this time again

Incoming Sniper Fire   May 4th, 2008 11:12 am ET

CNN, I'm not sure what the point of this story is. Really, can you tell me? Obama will win NC by double digits and I mean real double digits not 9.3…lol…He may also win IN….now if he wins both, will the media finally admit to the American electorate that CLINTON HAS ALREADY LOST????

Ada   May 4th, 2008 11:12 am ET

Shame on you CNN. No matter what you do, Hillary will not get the nomination at this point. The superdelegates know better that giving Hillary the nomination will destroy the party for a long time.

Let Barak win or lose like others. By the way, you and your media friends report about Barak losing the votes of those uneducated blue colar people. Is Hillary winning the African American and young votes?

Incoming Sniper Fire   May 4th, 2008 11:13 am ET

Oh and one more thing…will you be asking why CLINTON can't close the deal???

Susan MO   May 4th, 2008 11:13 am ET

I hope the nice people of the beautiful state North Carolina vote for Hillary Clinton.

She is experienced, for the people, and a fighter.

Hillary 08 :)

Kevin   May 4th, 2008 11:14 am ET

I think the words under the picture should say " A new CNN Poll of Polls shows Clinton gaining in North Carolina" since Obama's lead is down from 9 to 8 percent.

Sarah from Houston   May 4th, 2008 11:14 am ET

Why do you guys (CNN) keep doing this with the polls? We know that Obama is going to win in NC, but saying that Hillary might have a chance when she doesn't makes no since at all. I wonder why Obama didn't get the same press in PA?

Ardnuas   May 4th, 2008 11:15 am ET

SMART NC Voters will vote for Obama…..we have seen the way Hillary has run her campaign….. full of lies, negative ads, and trying to DIVIDE and DESTROY the Democractic Party.
Obama/Edwards08

She could take it!
Sweet!

NC Mary   May 4th, 2008 11:17 am ET

That's amazing. Considering how Obama is outspending Clinton by huge amounts of money. Also considering how over 90% of African Americans seem to be voting principally on skin color and not on experience or issues. Given those factors, Obama needs a huge double digit victory in NC otherwise it's a big loss for Obama.

why rev wright headline when obama wins guam??????   May 4th, 2008 11:17 am ET

goog lord, CNN, you stil have rev wright up there….this is trully unfair, a picture of april 27th, with april 27th news, and videos….cmon….dont you think this is unfair….and will this piture be up ntil monday night, or tuesday morning?

OBAMA PRO   May 4th, 2008 11:17 am ET

Obama is victim of CNN bias

Monica, Texas   May 4th, 2008 11:18 am ET

CNN- How come you are not talking about Cazayoux win in LA?….Remember he was the one that Rep. said would be defeated b/c of his ties to Obama. Once again the voters have spoken!!!! And the Dem. take a seat that was held by Rep. for nearly 30 years

Obama did an excellent job on Meet the Press this morning. He was relaxed and very presidential….

Richard   May 4th, 2008 11:18 am ET

Clinton is not winning, Jeremiah Wright just founded a new party. Obama is battling several fronts simultaneously, and McCain will probably win the whole thing.

pee-d-feet cause somthing stinks   May 4th, 2008 11:18 am ET

CNN ….WHAT DOES IT MATTER IF THE RACE IS TIGHTENING, OBAMA IS GOING TO WIN!!!

This race has become more about marketing and advertisement for your (CNN) pockets. So, keeping this race in the news benefits YOU!! The American people (Dems) are being fooled due to mis-direction of topic.

President Obama, keep hitting your 'FREE THROWS!' She's going to keep fouling and CNN has swallowed their whistle.

carol   May 4th, 2008 11:19 am ET

I'm not an Obama supporter but CNN this is getting ridiculous. Is the reason you are so obviously supporting Clinton that the continued fight helps your ratings?? Where are the headlines that the governor of NC and Bill Clinton opposed the gas tax holiday (the governor of NC just several weeks ago)? What about the oil lobbyist working for Clinton out rallying the tax holiday? Your headlines seem to be just pushing her momentum along when fact should not always support it.
Like I said I'm not an Obama supporter but I think the American public deserves better than this. I'm tired of the lies and deceit of the Clintons and the media pushing it along. Unfortunately I'm left wasting a vote for Ron Paul this election cycle.

jane in CA   May 4th, 2008 11:19 am ET

No empty promises. 10 years ago is not today; what we do today will have effects in years from now. Do we want scandals, impeachment all over again in the whitehouse and less focus on the serious things for the country now?

Dan   May 4th, 2008 11:20 am ET

With all the help she is getting from the media, she is supposed to do much better. Otherwise, she would have serious problems in November if she is the nominee.
Obama is really good!!!

kitten   May 4th, 2008 11:20 am ET

If everyone would tell the true story about Obamas ties with tony rosco.Obama took his campaign money people were sending him and using it to buy some land and a big house without paying taxes ripping the American public off.. why doesnt the media bring this out into the open? Obama is a big liar ..American public better wake up to the fact we cant trust this man!!!! I know this is what u werent asking but im tired of his lies and deceptions . The people in the white house better rethink who they want in the white house cause Obama isnt going to do them any favors. as far as the polls go i truely hope Clinton gets it she is the best we could have for a president..

Janet, Penna via Toronto   May 4th, 2008 11:20 am ET

"What experience and history teach is this: That people and governments have neve learned anything from history."

Quote by: Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel, Philosopher (1770-1831)

Some voters today are still afraid of change and moving into a new direction. Even the above quote, early in time, proves this.

People who divide, either with RACE or FAITHS, keep this and other very negative issues at bay.

Great and Impressive thinkers try to teach those willing to succeed for the future, are sometimes critized in doing so.

This is why, media of all scenarios, thrive on negatives and people who are not knowledgable of what it takes to improve, in reality, situations that have/still are thrush upon them.

As we head for another generation of change, we must learn from history, in the making now, to project the positive clearly of these changes. The internet has been, in some degree, a means of connecting with the smalle planet earth, but has developed into a negative outlet for those willing to continue divisions and separation of those not willing to improve the nation and world.

Senator Obama, even with his faults (like all of us), is truly trying to connect. Loyality to this country and what he has acheived, even through diversity, has shown this direction. Maybe he doesn't wear the flag pin, neither do The Clintons, McCain, or millions of other people. Are they disloyal to this country?

When we look into the history and division, the Clintons and McCain type of people continue to show themselves to be. We can see the underworld of deception and the continuation of the type of government we say we don't want.

Therefore, the above THOUGHT, still holds true today!

jujub   May 4th, 2008 11:20 am ET

North Carolina and Indiana voters will consider that Hillary supported NAFTA until she started running for President (read her book); that she lied about her foreign experience and ducking sniper fire in Bosnia (many times); that she lied about being instrumental in negotiating peace in Northern Ireland (she went to a tea); that she lied about guiding the State Childrens' Health Insurance Program through the Senate (something the sponsors, Edward Kennedy and Orin Hatch, refute); that she tops the Senate in Earmarks and will not release the list of the corporations those earmarks will benefit; that she sat on the board of WalMart, claiming to be instrumental in improving the rights of women, when in fact WalMart is anti-women; that she sold her soul to the likes of Rupert Murdock and Richard Mellon-Scaife, who accused her husband of murder; that she still has not released her 2007 Income Tax Returns. Wake Up Clinton Supporters! There is NO integrity there.

Olivier   May 4th, 2008 11:21 am ET

CNN is terrible. This is not news. You have been showing the same thicker for two weeks. You really want this race to continue

Wazntme   May 4th, 2008 11:21 am ET

This is just another example of the media running their stupid polls and putting it on 24 hours a day to make news. I hope the American people wake up and read about this Hillary Billary. The Clintons are the most corrupt people in Washington. Do we really need an ex president in the White house that was impeached. Why does the media try to run the elctions. Could it be that it is own by the conglomerates that are ruining our country. Report news, stop speculating and let the voters vote. Report about Hillary's lawsuit going on right now in CA. Paul vs Clinton. This shows you how dangerous this lady really is. I hope the voters come to their senses.

Billy from FL   May 4th, 2008 11:21 am ET

Well Obama was expected to win Guam by a landslide, but he only
by 7 votes(not 7%) Voters are starting to realize that Obama
cannot beat McCain in the election.

It seems really funny that every time Obama does or says somthing
wrong they blame Clinton.

You Obama need to get a grip, Obama is burying himself and
Hillary has nothing to do with it.

She should be going after him more, especially that he is anti american.

REMEMBER IT WAS 7 VOTES IN GUAM NOT 7%, YOU PEOPLE NEED
TO LEARN HOW TO COUNT, BUT THAT IS THE MENTALITY OF THE
OBAMA PEOPLE>

George   May 4th, 2008 11:21 am ET

did u see today's poll? obama 48 and clinton 37 and 8 undecided. obama is leading in Indiana. i know what CNN is saying. CNN actually lost its credibility. the most distrusted name in news.

kate   May 4th, 2008 11:21 am ET

I am a Hillary supporter but if his lead went from 9 points to 8 points, that is NOT a narrowing of his lead given the fact that polls are not that accurate.

Ken Vasick   May 4th, 2008 11:21 am ET

Obama criticizes Hillary's gas tax reduction proposal, but what is his proposal? He never has one—just votes "present" as he did over 100 times. After he's been President for four years, he'll still be calling for "change" but with no idea of what to change into.

frank manhertz   May 4th, 2008 11:23 am ET

it's just too funny hillary complained to the media about being biased to Obama and now the media is now pro hillary and just keep attacking Obama, get off the Jeremia Wright story, why do you all keep bringing up this issue. I think deep down you all don't want to see an african american win the election. I can tell you this if Hillary wins the nomination she can forget about my family going out to vote.

BILL   May 4th, 2008 11:23 am ET

OBAMA TRUE COLORS ARE SHOWING NOW….

I VOTED FOR HIM AND WANT MY VOTE BACK NOW THAT I KNOW

I WANT TO CHANGE MY VOTE TO HILLARY!!!!!

Ricardo Williams   May 4th, 2008 11:23 am ET

I hope this signals the end of the Clintons McCain Coalition. With the beating Obama took in the press over issues not pertaining to his policies but more so to personal issues, Clinton should have been beating him comfortably. However the truth be told that the American people are forgiving and still believes Obama is capable of leading the country out of its present state. It is change we can believe in.

David PA   May 4th, 2008 11:23 am ET

The math will prevail and Obama will be the nominee-regardless of all these now meaningless primaries. All this excitement is just media hype and campaign spin. The Queen of Entitlement cannot catch up with Senator Obama, no matter how nasty she gets, how pandering she becomes, how fretfully her husband pleads, how many empty promises she makes (gas tax b.s.). She does not have enough states left to catch the Democratic nominee for president, Barrack Obama. Hillary and Bill should start working on speeches to help to elect Obama over McCain.

Kim   May 4th, 2008 11:23 am ET

Zogby has it at 10% — up from Friday. They also show he is up another percentage point in IN.

james   May 4th, 2008 11:24 am ET

Here's the true facts.
Obama will lose the white vote 62% to 37%. With over 1.5 million people expected to vote, and with the white vote making up almost two thirds of the expected vote, this equates to 620,000 to Obama's 370,000 votes. A difference of 250,000 votes. Hillary will lose the black vote 10% to 90%. With the black turn out expected to be 33% of the overall vote, this equates to 450,000 to Hillary's 50,000. A difference of 400,000 votes. The hispanic vote makes up a very small percentage of the expected vote. With that being said, Obama will win N.C by about 150,000 votes which is 10% of the expected turn out. Depending on how the hispanic vote break Obama will win by 8 to 10 points. You can take that to the bank.

Terri   May 4th, 2008 11:24 am ET

I WILL VOTE AGAINST OBAMA IN NOVEMBER

REGARDLESS

apana dragon   May 4th, 2008 11:24 am ET

if the democratic candidates want to help in health care programs why don't they make a proposal to lower the age limit for social security and medi-care & medi-caide. If they want to help the economy and job problem why not start major programs and build factories to promote solar power inititives. Utilities and oil companies already take most of people's paychecks.

when obama takes nc,tuesday ,it will be all over for hillary,i hope .i'm getting sick of this race ,and the way hillary panders.i'm beginning to think the clinton machine is going to steal this election from obama.if and when that happens,this nation will be in big trouble,because i'll never vote ,again.i was going to use my stimulus check,to donate to obama ,when or if he gets the nomination.i thought it would be the best way to really make a change ,in this country.cnn ?why do you keep bringing up rev.wright ,everyday?obama has done what he had to do ,but you keep putting it in front of our faces.are you trying to influence voters?i'm either voting for obama ,or i'm voting against hillary.we can not afford anymore liars in the wh.i'd rather stay in iraq for a 100 years than vote for another liar like george bush.

Becky   May 4th, 2008 11:26 am ET

All we want is a win. We will take it with 2 point or 1 point.

CB   May 4th, 2008 11:26 am ET

Hillary says she is appling for the job of president.

Question: WHAT EMPLOYEE WOULD HIRE YOU or ME WHEN YOU HAVE LIED ON YOU APPLICATION?

Your polls are not reliable. If OB is leading by 8 lets add the +4% point margin of error. So now that makes him leading by 12%.

Mark, B'ham., Al.   May 4th, 2008 11:26 am ET

Keep the race going so America can find out the truth on Barack Obama who is playing "Lawyer Games" by telling "Lawyer Truth" to Americans. Obama is Chicago Politics which is just as mean and nasty as anything the Clintons can put out. I want to hear what kind of change and how to pay for it. Give America Specifics!

paul oregon   May 4th, 2008 11:26 am ET

cant belive ind. and north carl. are willing to sell ther souls for a pack of lies.

Eric M.   May 4th, 2008 11:26 am ET

I think some of your reporting lacks substance and simply misleading. First of all, the methodology by which you come up with the margin separating Sens Obama and Clinton is not appropriate because you are averaging polls that were collected using different sampling frames and which have different margins of errors. Second, even if we are to concede that this margin is acurate, there is nothing suggesting that the race is tightening. If I recall correctly, Sen Obama's lead has been between 8 and 10 for much of the post-Pensylvenia primary. Substentively, a 1 0r 2 point(s) difference is pretty insignifcant. So while the race might have tightened right after the last primary (when Obama's lead srunk from 15 to 8-10), it has stabilized for much of the past week. Thus, headlines such as "Race is tightening in North Carolina" just a few days before crucial primaries are old news at best or simply misleading.

Eric M.

Mike G   May 4th, 2008 11:27 am ET

Just a note to CNN: Maybe if you would take Rev. Wright's picture OFF the political page and let the ISSUES take the headlines?
Barack Obama will be the nominee despite all this junk.
I don't recall Hillary's picture arriving in Bosina staying on your front page very long. Something is amiss here.

john m   May 4th, 2008 11:27 am ET

with the bradly effect and the trend of undecided to brake 2-1 for clinton this is within 1 or 2 % points

Peter Paul   May 4th, 2008 11:28 am ET

Polls are wrong. Because in the next two days to come, more and more peoples will have a chance to watch be google what is coming in november for both Clinton's like the trial with Paul vs Clinton… Hope ths will be posted cnn thanks

John F. Dee   May 4th, 2008 11:28 am ET

How can you have a headline that says the race is tightening in North Carolina when the change in the poll is only 1% with a margin of eroor significantly greater than that? This is exactly the kind of media reporting that distorts the news, and why Obama has such a strong following to get at the truth.

jenny s   May 4th, 2008 11:28 am ET

Why does CNN feel it necessary to put so many items about Hilary? What happen to being the news source for ALL? It is so obvious CNN is in love with Hilary. You are always reporting on Polls, but then say they really don't matter - I guess you and Hilary have a lot in common.

I guess CNN wants another Clinton in the white house - better start prepping Chelsea now, she'll be running next….

Interesting   May 4th, 2008 11:28 am ET

Peter   May 4th, 2008 11:29 am ET

It was 7 a couple of days ago, then 9 and now 8. Is that tightening? I would say that is a consistent lead for Obama…

marty in Indiana   May 4th, 2008 11:31 am ET

Well of course she is gaining groud. CNN won't give us fair and balanced news. They spend 24/7 bashing Obama and they dance with joy when the poll numbers change. History will show that the news media stole the election from Obama and stole our only chance to change America. I hope you are proud of yourself CNN execs. You "win the battle" but "loose the war" for the future of America. Shame on you.

Ridicolous   May 4th, 2008 11:31 am ET

My question is to CNN is , if Rev Wrights picture should be held on the Politics page, then why isn't John Hagee's picture there… Or Peter Paul. One says Katrina happened because of Homosexuals and he's Mccain's pastor the other well he was robbed by the Clinton.. No it's not a rumour there's is enough evidence for a trial… It's just that the judge who was apointed by Bill Clinton himself moved the case after November Election. You know the same way the media never reported about Mccains "affair" with a lobbyist AFTER the fact that he was nominated the Rep nominee.

White male for Obama   May 4th, 2008 11:31 am ET

A win is a win!

Susan   May 4th, 2008 11:31 am ET

HHMM, maybe people in NC don't like Wright's insane rhetoric . . . or possibly it's that they fear Obama was referring to some of them with the clinging to guns and religion" business. Lots of guns and religion in NC. Also, LOTS of people smart enough to realize that Hillary Clinton is the best choice in this race.

Barb   May 4th, 2008 11:32 am ET

Just watched a clip from another news program where Obama's campaign manager Axlerod says…….yes he has take hundreds of thousands of dollars from pacs and lobbyists but……he wants to stop doing that……..Hello more hypocracy it's sickening!

Unfair politics and media   May 4th, 2008 11:32 am ET

Sam Taveras   May 4th, 2008 11:33 am ET

Don't make too much of the polls. Obama will win by double digits.

Tucson, AZ   May 4th, 2008 11:35 am ET

Obama will take NC!

D'Anne   May 4th, 2008 11:35 am ET

I am confused (really I'm not, I think CNN is). Can you please make up your mind. One heading says the race is tightening, then one says Obama is gaining. If you didn't know, that is a contradiction. Obama is in the lead so he has to be losing ground if the race is tightening.

Regardless, a win is a win just as Clinton's was in Pennsylvania and Obama will win North Carolina.

Valeroso2008   May 4th, 2008 11:41 am ET

The tightening of the race in NC proves that voters can be duped. Hillary Clinton is a fraud. She is insulting people's intelligence with her gas tax holiday scheme; she is endorsed by leaders of what she termed "the vast right-wing conspiracy." She has no commitment or even attachment to truth, candor, and principle.

If Hillary wins the Democratic nomination, then we Democrats deserve to be defeated and the country deserves what it gets.

This is the same bunk that everyone was saying about Obama and Pennsylvania and look how it ended up. Polls are just that, polls, and anyone who banks on them being the truth are naive. What matters is how people vote on election day.

Anna, SW Missouri   May 4th, 2008 11:45 am ET

It is interesting that in Indiana the latest poll shows Obama up by 2 and there is no mention of that on CNN.

matt   May 4th, 2008 11:45 am ET

I don't need hope and change. I need job and bread. It seems Obama 's supporter cannot get the sittuation that this country in right now. Hope and change cannot help your bill.

John   May 4th, 2008 11:46 am ET

What about the Indianna polls that show Obama slightly edging Clinton despite the rough week he's had. Folks go to RelclearPolitics.com for unbiased election info/polls. CNN is just disappointing at this point and its becoming a pattern especially the last few days before major primaries.

obamaholic   May 4th, 2008 11:46 am ET

i will be voting for mccain ,if clinton steals this nomination from obama.not that i want another republican president,but,i'd rather have a numbskull in office ,rather than a president who lies over and over,just to get elected.i was deeply inspired by obama,and registered as an independent to vote for him,after taking a hiatus from bogus elections, [the last time i voted was when ross perot ran in '92] ,that only put the same old negative politicians back in the wh year after year.why do people keep putting do-nothing politicians in the highest office of our land?keep your $28 ,hillary.i don't sell my vote to anyone.

Come on NC….don't be fooled by the Clinton's. Obama is our future and our truth! Barack doesn't just tell you what you want to hear he tells you like it is….if this country is to get fixed then we need to be done with the Bush's AND the Clinton's.

OBAMA for our FUTURE!

Is a 1% decrease really a story? That's still well within the margin of error, and it could've just been a polling inconsistency.

inditer   May 4th, 2008 11:48 am ET

Hillary needs to win the remaining 9 contests by an average of 70%. In early March her super delegate advantage was 56 - today it's 20. CNN's breathless pandering for Hillary aside, the 2008 Democratic Presidential nominee is Barack Obama. He will go on to beat the clueless warmonger by double-digits, even if McCain does choose Hillary as his running mate.

Richard Bell - Winston-Salem, NC.   May 4th, 2008 11:49 am ET

Vote for Hillary to save the democratic party. Vote for Obama to give the presidency to McCain.

Who cares? This race is over and the media is just trying to get ratings. Clinton could win by ten points in NC and still lose the over all primary race. The Dems just need to get together and start backing their pack leader and concentrate on Nov. Obama is the D's man.

Kasule   May 4th, 2008 11:50 am ET

hey,but CNN,why is it that every time I come around here, I only see news about Clinton?? are you trying to tell us that its only Clinton in this race??

how about you tell us about how she called economists that are against her gas tax holiday elitists??
here.."I'm not going to put my lot in with economists"… Clinton added….."this mindset where elite opinion is always on the side of doing things that really disadvantage the vast majority of Americans."

hope you publish this :)

and btw, im starting to doubt your polls :(

Peg   May 4th, 2008 12:08 pm ET

Zogby has him still at 9points ahead….like they had him yesterday. Bottom line is, he is still ahead enough to win. He also went up in the polls one point from Saturday to Sunday in Indiana according to the Zogby poll.

Go Obama!

Interesting   May 4th, 2008 12:09 pm ET

Obama is in trouble. He stated on Meet the Press today the following quote:

He said, "Israel is an ally of ours, it's the most important ally we have in the region and there is no doubt that we would act forcefully and appropriately on any attack against Iran, nuclear or otherwise"

It is a freudian slip and he is a wolf in sheep clothing set to destroy Israel and the U. S.

The polls are not always right. OBAMA will win the nomination. Hillary needs to stop planting racist seeds because she will have to figure out how to undo all of those once OBAMA gets the nomination. It's sad that she hates to lose. She is doing a world of harm to the Democratic Party. It's sad that we are being done in by one of our own. Bow out gracefully Hillary. You need that NY job.

Obama can't win in the GE - the democrats are surrendering their chances to reclaim the White House out of pride for their golden boy.

If we want to win we will need to all get behind Hillary now. Or, we can lose the GE and hopefully Hillary will run in 2012.

leslie   May 4th, 2008 12:21 pm ET

Its no wonder his polls have dipped with the wall to wall race baiting coverage by your network. However, I am confident he will win the state just as the democrat did in Louisanna despite the race baiting. CNN should be ashamed.

The Surly Scholar   May 4th, 2008 12:21 pm ET

Excuse me? I recall seeing a series of three polls on the CNN polling map last night showing him with an average 7 point lead. So how is this race "tightening," exactly?

Stop trying to make this exciting, CNN; the race is effectively over. NC will be an easy win for Obama.

alex   May 4th, 2008 12:22 pm ET

well well well…doesn't this look familiar? CNN trying to make news out of nothing. A one point change in the polls in well within any statistical margin. They did this with the polls in Penn too. Wouldn't be surprised if nothing changes come voting time. CNN is desperate for news again.

Superdelegates are you watching this race? What once was is no more! He is not the guy we thought he was, it's time you change your vote to HRC for President!
If you want to Whitehouse back you need to act now!

HighRidin'   May 4th, 2008 12:33 pm ET

Why not stop reporting on insignificant changes in ridiculous polls and talk about Paul vs Clinton. I can't imagine why a one point difference is more important than a large-scale campaign finance scandal.

Danny E. Gonzalez   May 4th, 2008 12:33 pm ET

Of course is tightening, Hillary now has a clear message, "its the economy stupid". Sen. Obama has had problems now with his message, especially in rural America. This is not over folks… Hillary should have lost by double-digits in Guam, yet she lost by 7 votes, this is big, this is really big… a win or a lose by less than 10 points in N.C. will be a disaster for Sen. Obama.

Rise Hillary Rise!

kelley James   May 4th, 2008 12:33 pm ET

It doesn't matter how much she 'narrows the gap' or even wins the presidence, Hillary has done herself and the country a disservice by her lying and cheating, her below the belt remarks and horrible and misleading attack ads. She has forever ruined her reputation for being principled, if ever she had one and she will have taken the country with her. What kind of a win is that? Oh yes, a win is a win.

antonio Tomachi   May 4th, 2008 12:36 pm ET

Listen party elders my republican friends had already started circulating articles on the internets about who would Americans like to be their first lady, the people they wouldn't want parading the Whitehouse if he's elected and Obama who seem to have distance himself from Rev Wright will most definately apologize to the man and bring him back to the white house.Democrats strategist has to be proactive and be ready.

concerned   May 4th, 2008 12:38 pm ET

Senator Obama's job is to win NC regardless of margins and Senator Clinton's job is to win NC to show she has momentum after PA win so she can continue her argument to the superdelegates. If she wins both NC & IN then she has the momentum, but if Obama wins NC & IN then he can close the deal. And if he only wins only NC then let the games continue for 6 more weeks. I can't wait for Tuesday.

Frank Feigert   May 4th, 2008 12:38 pm ET

Have you heard of margin of error? A shift of one point, from 9 to 8 points, is hardly indicative of a "tightening" race. We really do not need more "horse race" journalism, inventing stories that are not there. The result should come about as voters make up their minds, free of undue influence as to whether a candidate is gaining or losing, and by a difference if 1 point!

Obama supporter   May 4th, 2008 12:38 pm ET

Obama just got endorsement from The Charlotte Observer in NC
i sure wish CNN would not be quite so obvious in their wish for Hillary to make this closer. I guess you guys just want this to drag out so you can get more viewers. Obama remains ahead in popular vote, delegate vote and state count…..Please report the news more accurately and fairly or you will lose this viewer.

wiser   May 4th, 2008 12:40 pm ET

The late deciders will go to Hillary Clinton. She will win North Carolina. Senator Obama has shown judgment does matter and his judgment is poor at best!

CNN, You will make a story out of anything. What is up with having these polls every single day. Before Pennsylvania polls were released approximately once a week, now it is every day. STOP with the polls. You are making the county look schizophrenic. No one changes there opinion that often unless they are out of there mind or have no capabilty of thinking for themselves. The media has replace the American population's brain with the mindless, non-issue topics of the day, Rev. Wright, small town bitterness, Sniper Fire, etc.

eddie p. rochester ny   May 4th, 2008 12:40 pm ET

no matter how many states, pledged delegates or super-delegates Obama wins. This whole thing will come back to bite Obama in the tail end in the general election. Even with the primaries popular vote in his pocket . the general puplic will likely vote republican in the presidential election, If Obama is the nomenee.

V.S   May 4th, 2008 12:51 pm ET

I think the superdelegates need to start making up their minds in this race for the nomination.
I also think that the senators in states that have already held their caucuses and primaries should pledge their vote for the winner of that state.
I need to see that the popular vote matters at least at the state level.

2j   May 4th, 2008 12:52 pm ET

The fact that all the major US media outfits are seemingly counter-Obama is just testament to the ardent prejudice that's being propagated against his candidacy. Obama still thrives despite such unfairness,and this is nothing short of a miracle!I think Obama shall do much better come tuesday.

8 points is still a pretty big gap. Especially considering the huge deal the media and the Clinton campaign made over her 9 point win in Pa. If Obama wins by 8 he still won pretty decisively.

ChangeBy   May 4th, 2008 12:54 pm ET

If Obama loos, it will be a big loose for not only America, but also the world. Suppose Clinton get the nomination, what will happen if Mcain will choose Rice as Vp?It could be the end for Hilarry.

1 percent is within the margin of error. Still you guys make it a headline. Nothing will help her though. I guess you guys want it going as long as it can possibly go . In the end it will be Obama and he will be in White house in Jan 09.

GO OBAMA !!!!

Gosh, when Barack closed gaps, all the pundits were everywhere. Hillary is getting close, and there's no spin. There is a real sense that the media does not want Hillary to win. Tough! She is, and she will.

jojo   May 4th, 2008 12:58 pm ET

What do you expect when CNN and all of the media has Rev. Wright in their front page. Unfortunately some less educated persons are buying what the media is selling. In the last two weeks the headlines have been Rev. Wright. The media is doing disservice to Sen. Obama and the American people. Still, Sen. Obama will prevail in NC.

The truth   May 4th, 2008 1:00 pm ET

Take a look around, It seems like everyone is trying to give Hillary hope of winning, but the truth to the matter is people still don't trust Hillary.

Too little, too late for the wicked witch to change things now. With an unfavorable opinion among a majority, and also a majority feel she is not trustworthy, Hillary is actually the one who is "unelectable" this fall!
If the Democrats have a chance, it is with Obama. McCain would beat
either candidate if the election were held today!

The main topic Sunday morning on CBC & BBC was Obama & Wright. Obama is already being compared to Bush as a total incompetent. His lack of experience & good judgment is already being questioned outside the USA borders.

I am so happy to see that people are starting to really wonder if Obama and his "pretty" speeches are enough to get this country back on track..

GO HILLARY !

The polls are reflecting Clinton's bold faced lie to the voters about the gas holiday, something she knows is dead in the water and will never happen. regardless, she is using it to get a last minute shift in votes coming her direction and away from Obama. By the time the voters figure out she conned them, it will be too late, she will already have their primary vote in her column.

Pro Obama CNN once again has a misleading headline. Headline says "Obama gaining in N.C." but the article correctly states that Obama is not gaining but is in fact losing ground.
