Obama leads McCain by 4 points, according to a new CNN poll of polls.

(CNN) — Barack Obama appears to have increased his lead over John McCain in the race for the White House, though the two presidential hopefuls continue to be locked in a close fight, according to a new CNN poll of polls.

According to an average of four recent national polls, Obama holds a four point advantage among registered voters over the Arizona senator, 47 percent to 43 percent. Ten percent said they remain undecided.

Watch what's next for McCain and Obama

A CNN poll of polls taken last week showed the Illinois senator with only a two point advantage over McCain. But three of the four polls were conducted before Hillary Clinton formally dropped out of the race on Saturday, and may not fully reflect the current state of public opinion.

OBAMA ALL THE WAY

Denver Dem   June 10th, 2008 4:25 pm ET

This is only a week after his victory, the more Americans that realize how bad McBush is for the U.S.A. the higher this number will become. There are not enough bigots in this country to sway the vote where the Republican party the way they want.

Now that Loser is PANDERING The u.s. taxpayers again with another Tax cut holiday. News for one and All the $28 dollars you would save for the whole summer will not buy Dinner for 4 or school supplies for 1 kid. so pull your heads out of your tushies if you think otherwise.

Obama 2008

Mike from Westchester   June 10th, 2008 4:24 pm ET

Matt: Looks like you're 0 for 3 on this one. First, the article states that "three of the four polls were conducted before Hillary Clinton formally dropped out of the race on Saturday, and may not fully reflect the current state of public opinion." So, we're only looking at part of the bump. However, the big bump will come around convention time.

Your third statement is strange considering how badly the Republicans have screwed up this country – quagmire in Iraq, $4 gas, record foreclosures, $3.5 trillion more debt, rising unemployment, economy bordering on recession, more people hate America, fewer allies, falling global influence, wiretaps, use of torture, global warming, no leadership on energy, and the beat goes on and on. They have messed us up BIG TIME – and, we, the people are going to sweep them out of office. And you probably want to elect someone who has voted with Bush 90+% of the time and now says he is different, has not voted in favor of environmental legislation since 2005 and now claims to be an environmentalist, said the Bush tax cuts bothered his conscience and now wants to make the permanent, and says foreign policy is his big forte and then makes one Shiite/Sunni and Iraq/Iran gaff after another.

And for all those reasons, your middle comment is also wrong – Obama's numbers will go up and up.

The smear campaign will not work this time – not after the consequences of similar campaigns in 2000 and 2004. NOT THIS TIME!

Shiloh WA   June 10th, 2008 4:23 pm ET

KATHY- a vote for McCain is a vote against Hillary. What party do you think she works with? Are you a resentful brat or a rebublican?

Olivia   June 10th, 2008 4:22 pm ET

Ladies….Obama is now using Hillary's words and ideas and some of her strategies used during her campaign to reach working women. At the same time he may not offer her the vp slot and probably won't. He is also going to ask Elizabeth Edwards to work with his healthcare plan if he becomes president. Hillary's plan, that is so close to her heart. I've been watching him and can only shake my head in disbelief. Watching McCain too.

The more I see, the more I don't like. Obama says there is very little difference between him and Hillary. Not so….he's just trying to set up using her ideas as his own. This is obvious to me.

Ellie in Aurora, CO   June 10th, 2008 4:21 pm ET

What about all those people who use cell phones instead of regular land lines? They aren't included in these polls. Mostly young people. Gee, I wonder who they'll vote for???

obama supporter   June 10th, 2008 4:21 pm ET

don't let those sour grapes of Hillary supporters get you down.

They rather vote for Bush (probably have) than to have anyone but Hillary.

After all, they voted Bush so they could see her run in 2008. They might just do it again. Oh well, their vote, their choice.

Roofin Reality, Houston, Tx.   June 10th, 2008 4:21 pm ET

Kathy, I respect your decision to vote for whomever you choose.
But, a couple of points:
1) Senator Clinton has asked you to vote for Senator Obama.
So you are doing a disservice to her campaign and her legacy by going against what she asked of you.
2) Senator McCain is the complete opposite of what Senator Clinton stands for. She and Obama vote the same 90% of the time. She and McCain vote the same maybe 20% of the time. I know I'm being a little liberal with that 20%, but you should get the point.

So, please help explain what policy issues you feel McCain offers for you better than Clinton (oops, I meant Obama since they both vote the same about 90% of the time).

I can share four areas where I as a man desperately disagree with McCain.
1) Iraq – War was unnecessary and really unjustified. He believes in it and wants to continue it at a cost of $10 billion per month. THAT'S A LOT OF MONEY people.
Oh pardon me, I forgot to mention, the 4,100 soldiers who've died and the 100,000 who've returned from war permamently disabled in some way.

2) Judges If nothing else as a woman who doesn't want to be faced with the prospect of being pregnant by someone who fooled you into a relationship, raped you, date raped you, had incest, I'm not interested in havind judged like Altio, Roberts, Scalia, Thomas tell the woman that she's just flat out of luck. Since McCain said three weeks ago that he'd appoint justices like Scalia and Thomas, I'm done.

3) Economy I just saw recently where former Senator Phil Gramm was cited for working as a lobbyist for UBS, the same firm which was on the wrong side of the mortgage meltdown debate. And, he's now working for McCain. We're struggling right now and I see this country heading down a very difficult path. Not keen on a candidate who says to our #1 issue, "I'm not really strong on the economy."
Heck, he can't even pick good members of his team with all of the lobbyists he has working for him.

4) Healthcare I belive in the free market approach. After all, this country is built on the principle of capitalism. But, McCain's approach of giving everyone a $2,000 credit and saying good luck makes no sense. I'm in great shape, thank GOD. And so is my family. But I think about the families that have some health issues. $2 grand will pay for a month's medical bills. A fter that, they'd be forced into bankruptcy.
Yes, that bankruptcy that was forced through a few years ago which makes it much more difficulty on filers.

So, there are four reasons right there.
And p.s., to you and the rest of the Senator Clinton backers (who the Obama team does need to help get him elected),
1) interesting that a number of her key staffers are already going over to Obama to work with and for him
2) I spoke recently to a lady who's a delegate to Denver for Clinton.
Want to know what she's doing next week, heading to a couple of tough spots in the state where Clinton did well and Obama didn't to get people signed up to vote and then educate them on why Obama. She's disappointed that Clinton didn't win, and she has every right to be disappointed. But she told me she'd be even more disappointed that the Clinton legacy would forever be tarnished because of McCain winning this fall and changing the landscape of this country for the next 30 years.
SO, what cha wanna do? Hopefully in 4 months, you'll come around to see the four points above are crucial.
And if you don't, well it's your vote and you can vote however you want to. Just don't come back and complain for the next 30-40 years because this election this year will change this country in a profound way. GOD bless you and all of the voters in the fall.

RW   June 10th, 2008 4:20 pm ET

Why Bill Clinton and Mrs. Edwards have not endorsed Obama yet ??!!!

Mary WA   June 10th, 2008 4:20 pm ET

In two weeks he'll be up by ten.

Ed   June 10th, 2008 4:20 pm ET

This is hardly anything to cheer about. Face it- with the embers of the historic Democratic primary slowly fading away from our memories, people will learn more and more about what Obama is about. For one thing, he can't do a single thing about gas prices. In a blatantly pandering move he is proposing to send out 50 billion dollars for another (useless) stimulus, increasing our taxes, increasing our debt… He is a tax and spend liberal of the worst kind and the conservatives will be out in record numbers to make sure Obama is prevented from having the chance to throw our economy off a cliff.

Polls are useless   June 10th, 2008 4:19 pm ET

What was the question asked? What party did the people answering the question belong to? You numbskulls that read news like this and actually believe that this is an acurate reflection on the American nation as a whole need to be whacked upside your head with a sock filled with bricks.

Of course CNN doesn't include the small facts like :

90% of the participants are democtrats
60% voted for Obama in the primaries

Polls are worthless but I can see why you libs hold them so dear … cuase there isn't going to be much to cheer about come November and a Republican is still going to be in office for 4 more years.

McCain > Obama

Bishop   June 10th, 2008 4:19 pm ET

Dems DON'T want TRAITORS!!! If you are going to vote for Republicans because Hillary lost, STAY with the Republicans!!! We DON'T want you back!!! You where supposed to be voting on the content of their character and not the gender of the candidate. True Dems FOLLOW RULES and PLAY FAIR. It was only obvious that ALL the candidates SHOULD have taken their name off the ballet, but not Hillary. She says that they all know that the votes won't count…so why leave your name on the ballet, Hillary. Was she trying to scheme or plot? To think that NO ONE would have voted for Sen. Obama in Michigan is preposterous. Either you are for UNITY for ALL, this includes BLACKS, WHITES, FEMALES, GAYS, YOUNG, and OLD, or you want to revert back to SEPARATISM. As a bi-racial man raised by a white women I am disgusted with some of those "SUPPORTERS". I think my mother would return from the grave simply to throw up! Grow up people. She still going to run, DUH!!!

Chi4Obama   June 10th, 2008 4:19 pm ET

National Polls mean nothing at this point. As we all know, the President is not elected based on "the popular vote".

The only Poll that (will) matter is the Electoral College in November.

Democrats '08

Suziku   June 10th, 2008 4:18 pm ET

I read that Obama is "up" 6 points. Why is it that ClintonNewsNetwork always has lower poll numbers for Obama?!
By the way, Wolf Blitzer really sucks.

Ray in NC   June 10th, 2008 4:18 pm ET

I hope dems wake up and unite. This isn't American Idol. There are serious ISSUES voters must decide on. Obama and Hillary had a tough primary, but they've been able to come together and will work together in the future to meet their common goals. McCain is on the other end of the spectrum on the issues AND would continue many of the policies of the current administration. Dems, think! Too much is at stake.

velmeezee   June 10th, 2008 4:16 pm ET

For all these people that keep demanding for Hillary Clinton to be Obama's running mate, please get a grip! What are you going to do when he offers it to her and she REJECTS it? What makes you think that she even WANTS that? Just because YOU want that does not mean it's in the plan or that it is the best choice for our country.

I don't understand how people can claim to love senator Clinton so much while being so quick to stab her in the back and vote Republican. I've read some comments using "revenge on Obama" and "proving a point" as justification for this, but really, what if McCain does get into office, what would that mean for Democratic ideals, goals, and values? What revenge are you getting? What point are you proving? Revenge on yourself for being so petty? Proving the point that you really don't care about our right to choose, our children's education, our troops in Iraq, our country's standing in the world? What's wrong with Obama '08 for Clinton '12? That's what I hope for because I like Obama AND Clinton, and I'd NEVER vote for a Republican like McCain or Bush.

Nobama   June 10th, 2008 4:16 pm ET

Strange that CNN Polls show exactly what is happening opposite in the real world today..

Obama who lambasted Washington thurout his campaign, is now playing in the hands of Washington power broker Jim Johnson.

Sen Obama, you have such a nice array of qualified people you know for 20 years, why need JJ's help…pick from Rev Wright or Rezko.

CW4Barak   June 10th, 2008 4:16 pm ET

Rob in Calif   June 10th, 2008 4:15 pm ET

Anyone not voting for change (Obama) is making money off the current system of fraud and back room deals. Or they are just plain ignorant of the realities of how the good ol' U S of A's politicians work these days.

1000's dead and oil prices are through the roof.
10's of Millions of poor people and we spend Trillions on weapons.
Starving, abused, neglected children in every county across america and we build bridges to nowhere.

End the system of fraud and abuse, Vote Obama 08.

Jim   June 10th, 2008 4:15 pm ET

Polls don't mean a thing. Just like large crowds didn't mean much. McCain words of advice. Say that we can drill for oil here. Obama will become dust. Right now gas is on everyone's mind. Pump here pump now.

To Kathy.
PLAN C

Kathy please go ahead vote for mccain.Your vote is your own personal
choice no one is trying to change you mind. Just let Obama pick his
own running mate he is the person who have to work with that person
not you.
A vp running mate is kind of like a wife I am sure you wouldnt have
wanted Your mom to pick you mate would you or to buy your mate.
Because you are the one who would have to look at that person every
day.

Peter   June 10th, 2008 4:14 pm ET

As soon the former Hillary's supporters get through their grieving it will be just fine. In the next two weeks the margin will rise to 10+. But please make it easy for Hillary's supporters to recover and to All Democrats you will win in November. I just read that the old man McCain said something about vetoing beer I think it cant get worser. What a roller coaster ride you guys have in November. Don't screw it.

Maxine   June 10th, 2008 4:14 pm ET

We the American People are not going to be fooled by the Republicans They are for the Big Corporation not for the middle hard working family who are suffering trying to make a living and trying to pay for gas. Results of the Ecomomy is from the failed Bush Polices and Mccain will do more of the same. don't be fooled American people by voting Mccain remember Mccain will embrace Bush Polices this country is going down vote Mcain we will be sorry just like we are sorry that some of us vote Bush don't make the same misstake again Please people wake up,

john williams san diego, ca.   June 10th, 2008 4:14 pm ET

Hillary has no chance of fulfilling her quest for power. 40% of democrats despise her and 90% of republicans hate her (well deserved), but then again democrats have supported pathological liars since they elected Bubba.

Jeff Radun   June 10th, 2008 4:14 pm ET

The dems have everything in their favour.
and after 17 months of Obama and Hillary on TV 24/7 that is all Obama is up by 4 points.
Go McCain

Hillary 2012

I keep hearing how Hillary has to step up to the plate and help Obama win in November.
She gave her best endorsment every demicrate was happy with it. She does not have to do any more for Obama
This is after her party did everything it could to sink her bid to be president.
She ows the party and Obama nothing more. The actually ow her

Silence Dogood   June 10th, 2008 4:14 pm ET

This was to be a year that the DNC could really kick it and we can only claim a little lead. This should not be close. The DNC has put up an Empty Preppy Suit with a smile and no clue. What if people had actually liked Bush? Where would we be?

Liberals have been betrayed big time. I do not want to vote for McCain. Does anyone know a good party to belong to? One with some guts.

"Comedy Central" – great quote.

Oh Brother   June 10th, 2008 4:14 pm ET

Go vote for McSame already.
No one really give a damm how you vote..
Are we suppose to start shaking in our boots??
This is a democracy. You vote for whomever you want.

Whoa   June 10th, 2008 4:14 pm ET

Comedy Central keeps posting: “No self respecting woman should wish or work for the success of a party that ignores her” -Susan B Anthony, 1872.

I find it interesting you'd keep posting that with no reference to who it is directed to. McCain's didn't just leave his wife when she got crippled by a car accident, but also cheated on her in her time of need with Cindy McCain who he married a month after divorcing his wife. Did you also know that McCain is also against giving equal pay to women citing that he believe it will open companies up to legal actions by women who feel they are not being given equal pay? McCain will also appoint judges to the Supreme Court who will over turn Roe vs. Wade. So my question to you would be – what is it you're pointing out with this quote without saying who you're point it toward. If it's the Democrats or the Republicans? McCain or Obama?

jim   June 10th, 2008 4:14 pm ET

It's just a matter of time. The more people find out about Obama, the more people will want to vote for him. The more time people find out about John "McBush" McCain, his Keating Five days, his voting record when it comes to Veterans, his backroom land deals with Donald Diamond, and his relations with Vicki Iseman, the more people will realize that this guy is no good. He clearly is a war hero, but that's pretty much the extent of it. 40 years later, he wants to invade Iran. He wants to be in war for 100 yrs. He wants to solve the economic crisis by telling us "just go get a second job." He wants to vote against tax increases on Big Oil companies. He wants to give speeches that someone else wrote from teleprompters (since he can't string together a sentence himself; for example his "beer earmarks" snafu today). He likes to say "my friends"… a lot. A LOT. But you know what? He's not my friend, and I hope y'all are smart enough to agree that he's not a friend of America if he simply wants to continue the shameful leadership that Bush had forced upon this great nation for the past 7 years. VOTE OBAMA.

kim   June 10th, 2008 4:12 pm ET

Here's the thing that confuses me about Hillary supporters… if you believe in what she believed in, why would you vote for McCain? He represents the polar opposite of everything she supports and believes in. If you actually support Hillary for everything she is trying to do for the American people, why would you throw it all away to vote for McCain? I support Obama, but if he hadn't won the nomination I would have voted for Hillary since her policy initiative and efforts are similar (despite the fact that I don't personally like her). Isn't it kind of immature to turn your back on everything Hillary has tried to do simply because she lost the nomination?

Boomer   June 10th, 2008 4:12 pm ET

Anybody who supported Hillary Clinton and is now threatening to vote for John McCain is a complete and utter traitor to Hillary Clinton. She said as much herself in her great speech last Saturday. This isn't a high school student council election that is merely about personality. Hillary and Obama share the same principles. McCain shares Bush's principles. Let's stop with the childishness and get real!

Anna, Chicago   June 10th, 2008 4:10 pm ET

When it comes down to the election day and to the moment to cast your vote, the Hillary supporters who now say they'll vote for McCain, will have hard time ticking the box next to McCain's name. They know they would never be able to forgive themselves for betraying their party and risking their own and their children's future. You'll see. They will make the right choice in the end. They are good people after all.

I am a lifelong Democrat whose ancestors were also Democrats. Thanks to the DNC, I will NOT vote for Obama UNLESS Sen. Clinton is on the ticket with him. It is HER that I will vote for, even if I have to write in her name! I encourage other disappointed Clinton supporters to do the same. McCain will win but we'll have a trail of votes for Clinton.

Why try 08   June 10th, 2008 4:09 pm ET

To Obama Supporters,

Let the Hill Supporters say want they want to. There is a real fight on our hands and they have every right to vote for whoever they want and for whatever reason they want. The primary is over and we have to face McCain, the RNC, Fox news, and the 527. Let's being about educating those who will listen. Stop worrying about the who say you spew hatred while in their very message condemning you they do the same.

Look at it this way.
Obama starts with 18 million too. Then add 13 million of Hillary voters that say they will vote for Obama. The other are split between voting for McCain, staying at home, or coming around. Obama will be alright. If not so be it.

To Kathy, sweetie just vote for McCain and stop threating you all are starting too sound like a broken record. Are you aware that GOP just blocked a bill to tax the oil companies profits. Those are the people that McCain has backing him. So sweetie stop with the threats. She won't be President not this time around. Maybe you can donate too her and help her pay off some off her debt. She has broken a record for the highest debt ever by any candidate. I support Obama, but, I will donate too her so she can pay that debt down.

REAL CHANGE   June 10th, 2008 4:07 pm ET

Bay Buchanan, the conservative activist and sister of Pat, doesn't believe it matters what McCain does. As she wrote online the other day, "(I)n reality, there is only one candidate in November. Barack Obama. In November he will win or he will lose. John McCain is relevent only in so far that he is not Barack Obama. The senator from Arizona is incapable of energizing his party, brings no new people to the polls, and has a personality that is best kept under wraps."

Now there's a ringing endorsement.

Actually, I may have jumped to a wrong conclusion in my last post. The Susan B. Anthony quote is rather apt. No self respecting woman should work for the success of a party that ignores her. As such, it only makes sense for women to work for the Democrats, since it's THEM who are for equality and protecting women's right to choose. A vote for McCain is an anti-feminist vote.

shirley   June 10th, 2008 4:06 pm ET

These nay sayers will come around later when you have made there lives better and …say stuff like "I knew he was the best choice from the beginning" I really mean it …for those of us that think for ourselves. We know you can and will do it!

Scott C   June 10th, 2008 4:06 pm ET

Clinton and Obama squared off and Obama won. That doesn't mean Clinton was ignored, it means she lost.

Just because she didn't win the nomination it doesn't mean she was cheated.

McCain wants to and will be in the position to overturn Roe vs. Wade, because he will be choosing at least two new Supreme Court justices that are retiring, they are both liberals who are FOR Roe v. Wade. McCain said he WILL replace them with conservatives..

If McCain is elected, say goodbye to a Woman's right to chose.

You know the Republicans counted Michigan and Florida with half votes too, because they ALSO punished those states for breaking the rules.

With the media beating, the party divisiveness and the bitter feelings Obama should be way behind McCain, because McCain has gone unopposed for several months… The fact that Obama is ahead, even if it is by this small amount, it doesn't bode well for McCain.

Obama WILL be the next President.

The minority of Clinton supporters who are playing the victim card aren't going to make a difference.

Obama fans just take anything he says as law . I saw an Obama supporter post that Obama was responsible for the nuclear nonproliferation treaty. So then i went to Obama.com and read it my self and that is what it said . This treaty was signed in the mid 60s and was made permanent in 1995. He had nothing to do with it.I have not been back to Obama .com but I bet it is still posted on his site. Look and see for your self

Cody   June 10th, 2008 4:03 pm ET

Alright folks, here's the deal. Just because Hillary wasn't nominated doesn't mean that women are ignored. McCain is absolutely no substitute for Sen. Clinton, and her supporters would be abandoning her were they to vote for McCain or not vote. Obama and Hillary waged a tough fight, but ultimately it's the democrats we need in the White House because you WILL NOT GET:

1) Universal Healthcare
2) Education reform
3) Low unemployment
4) An end to the Iraq war
5) Good diplomatic standing in the world

…if you vote for McCain. Honestly, are you hurt SO BADLY as to set aside the welfare of Americans who really need help just to stick it to a candidate who is lobbying to provide these things for us? Even Sen. Clinton is swallowing her pride and endorsing Obama. Come on people.

America First!! Obama '08!!!

" No self respecting woman should vote for a party that has no respect for women and a party who was willing to take her votes and give them to Obama. Vote Mcain. The interesting thing is HE CAN"T win without her.

Seth   June 10th, 2008 4:03 pm ET

Look deep into your hearts people, past any hardened notions of partisanship, or disliking Democrats simply because you have for so long. John McCain is not suited to lead the most powerful nation in the world.

Obama is young, intelligent, clear-headed, eager and above all else has proven fantastic judgment. His plan, much like Abe Lincoln, is to fill his cabinet with members from both parties. He will choose the best people, not the best Democrats.

John McCain is going to stock the entire gov.t full of hard-line republicans that will continue to dismantle our social programs, overturn a woman's right to choose, keep the behemoth war machine rolling along, and eventually destroy our nation from within.

Don't do it.

goodcitizen   June 10th, 2008 4:03 pm ET

Long way to go! Wait and see OB's real face, I have the patience.

MDB Baltimore   June 10th, 2008 4:02 pm ET

To Kathy -

Hillary and McCain are complete polar opposites when it comes to the issues that affect us as Americans. Therefore, based on the ridiculous logic you have suggested: PlanA and PlanB. There's a new book you should read… it is based on the fact that politicians relay on the stupidity of voters instead of confronting real issues. The book is entitled: "Just How Stupid Are We?" By Bret Schulte.

russell   June 10th, 2008 4:02 pm ET

Obama = GRACEFULNESS maybe you other politicians ( republicans) need to learn a thing or two about that instead of greed .

Gilberto   June 10th, 2008 4:02 pm ET

Way to go Obama. Just barely 3 days from Hillary's concession and you've already gone two points up in the polls. Just wait to see the numbers in a month.

Obama Is Only Going To Increase This Lead Until He Is The President!

janey   June 10th, 2008 4:00 pm ET

Can we have just one blog that talks about someone besides Obama? I hope people wake up before it is too late. I have worked too hard and too long to let this man raise my taxes again to give my money to people who choose not to work..Also, if he thinks this country is so bad and needs his kind of "changes', maybe he should go to Kenya or Iran to live. All of the rouge nations love him—He can work against the hard-working people there if he chooses to.

wow.. that's about 8 million people. Pretty impressive. I think Hillary supporters are slowly realizing that losing HRC as the candidate is bad enough, losing her policies and her vision (echoed by Brack) would be a devastating loss to the country and to all Americans.
Vote for the love of the country, not out of malice and hate. Vote Obama.

Hey "Comedy Central". Get a GRIP. Hillary wasn't ignored. She lost.. Yes….she got 18 million votes…..minus the Rush Limbaugh "Chaos" votes…..but Barack won the Delegates.

Spin the truth…..rework the Math….alienate Voting American's by discounting their Popular Vote as "Caucus that do not Count….he still WON. Barack won the Nomination just like Hillary's husband Bill won the Primaries TWICE.

Bitter, manipulating, (did I say "BITTER"?) women like you do NOTHING for the Women's movement.

"Waah, I'm mad because my candidate (Billary) lost – so I'm voting Republican." Get a life folks – she lost, even though she tried to bend and break every rule in the book…then only conceded after being forced to do so by the democratic leadership. Can't you now see her for what she truly is – a selfish, power-hungry person?

It's not too late now, come on over to the Light side of the Force – vote OBAMA!! He's the one who actually cares about America, not himself.

Hmm here goes… Me was for hillary but she lost so Waaaaa waaaaa I vote for race not for the issues ….oops me an adult but acting like a 2 year old? Me so ashamed but sorry me vote for McCain because I can't stand to vote for someone who should be equal with all other men ( ALL MEN ARE CREATED EQUAL until it's time to vote? ) Wow, when did I become so self righteous? ( self centered and selfish is more acceptable ) Oh well, 4 more years of George Bush and high gas prices. And I have nerve to say Michelle O'bama doesn't like her
country? I am so diluted to believe that I'm voting for the right reasons and not because I'm stubborn!! No wonder other countries look at us with pity.

Matt: Only a delusional Clinton supporter could turn an increase in the polls into a negative. Clinton lost. I know it's hard to accept, but it's best for the entire country that you come to grips with it. Same goes for you Kathy. We will not be blackmailed into accepting your losing candidate as VP. If we chose her, it will be based on merits, not threats.

Mike - Ventura, CA   June 10th, 2008 3:56 pm ET

The four point spike is just the beginning. When everyone calms down and looks at the two candidates and the ISSUES- Barack Obama will win. $4.69.9 per gallon today- and to those that are saying McCain will bring "prosperity" I say- where have you been living the last eight years—-Mars?

Threats didn't work for Hillary in the primaries and it won't work for the general election.
I am convinced Obama will want Hillary on his team in some capacity, but it just might not be VP. I am not convinced the VP spot is the best use for her talents, anyway.

By the way, she lost, fair and square. I lost respect when she started her threats, lies, and divisive half-truths. She was not "robbed" of this nomination, she lost our support.

I am starting to believe the "old bitter white women" label put on yawl. Although from what I've seen on TV the word "ugly" was left out. lol

This woman for OBAMA

Samantha   June 10th, 2008 3:54 pm ET

McCain needs to up the ante on his campaign. He's getting blasted from the Left and the Right. He needs to be tougher, he's up against someone very tough and not so principled as he makes believe he is.

John in KY   June 10th, 2008 3:54 pm ET

OK Dems although I was a strong supporter of Hillary, we must get behind our nominee "OBAMA". A great lady she is and will be even stronger next time, we cannot vote "mcCain" and expect to change anything about Washington DC. we must unseat all Republican Governors.Representatives,Senators and on down the line. to get back the "WHITEHOUSE" in NOV. and get the government working for working people and Seniors instead of giving all power to the RICH & Well Connected.

GO DEMOCRATS 08!!

All of this talk about if I can't vote for a woman then I am sitting out or voting for McCain. Well I guess that there has have always been a women on the ticket? If you think that this is and will be the only time that a party has ignored women, then you a living in a different country that I have been. When has Obama been disrespecting to women? Are you listening to only the media? I am a woman and I do not remember him saying anything about not respecting women. Go on a vote for Mccain, I guess that you really do enjoy all of the wonderful things going on in our country at this time!!!!

It's really early. Wait until August. The real story will be coming out then. If Obama only got 4% then that doesn't say much. His so called bump is a blimp on a scale so large. It's going to take more than Pelosi and the hack of a leader from the Dems to push him over the fence. Better get a ladder Barack… the points are going to be close until election time. Let's see how dishing Clinton supporters from Barack's supporters are going to help him now. Keep the dividing talk up and you'll see your Candidate go down. As far as Susan B. Our fore mothers gave us the vote … and because of it we get to exercise our right to vote for anyone we want. I won't waste my vote on Barack.

Give the man SOME credit…obviously Obama is doing something right……against all odds, he couldn't have come this far if he didn't know what the issues were and how to solve them. For you to throw your country under the bus, so to speak, and recklessly support a man like McCain, who embraces another 100 years is Iraq, tax cuts for the wealthy, high food and gas prices (not to mention gas tax gimmicks), outrageous job losses and unprecedented numbers of foreclosures then not only are you insane…..but you might need professional help.

Keep your eyes on McCain and the issues. Our candidate is in the race. Hillary supporters will come around once they get to know Obama better. He does have ideas, he does have a plan, he is intelligent, and he is articulate. McCain isn't.

You are not hurting anybody but yourselves…vote for McSame if you want, but don't come crying on here about how the economy stinks more than what it is.

Go ahead and spin this as much as you want! Obama will not become the President of this great country. He is not fit to take on that job, he has very little experience, and he will crash and burn this nation beyond repair. We must do what ever it takes to make sure that he doesn't become the President, otherwise even the disaster in Iraqe will seem like child's play compared to the tragedy this guy will bring on to our nation. The Democratic Party has become a joke, and many of us will certainly not go with its circus! Just watch and learn! And if Hillary Clinton is wise enough, she will not get on that ticket with this loser this time around.

michael   June 10th, 2008 3:46 pm ET

Why do I get the feeling I'm not really going to find out what Obama is about if or untl he wins the presidency? The small differences in the polls I beleive are due to Americans not ready to trust someone who is so good at glossing over the issues with positivism.

Obama's biggest bump will come after his first debate with McCain. Seeing the two side by side and having to take multiple potty breaks for McCain will convince people McCain is just a vote for the same old, same old. It's like Bruce Spingsteen running against Pat Boone.

All these spoiled sport Hillary supporters should get what they deserve if they vote for McCain. Man this country would really be in bad shape if people always voted against their own party just because their candidate did not win. BFB – Big Fat Babies

To Kathy and all the other disgruntled HRC supporters. You are really sad and should stop pouting because your candidate lost. Barak did not steal the nomination from her, it was hers to lose and she lost it. So to hold the Democratic party hostage because your female savior lost is just plain stupid. You, and all others like you, are a big joke.

Angela Frazier, Memphis TN   June 10th, 2008 3:45 pm ET

All the bump he got? It's only been 3 days! Just wait until all those gaffes McCain made when the Dems were fighting amongst themselves reemerge. It is about to get ugly. And that asinine Gas Tax is going to put the nails in his coffin!

And as far is Hillary is concerned… LET IT GO PEOPLE!! It is over and she is out! You Hillary Lovers had better wise up! You can stay at home, vote for McBush or write Hillary's name in if you want to, but just KNOW that if Obama loses and we have 4 more years like the last 8, her political career are O-V-E-R!

She WILL get the blame for either not effective bringing you brainiacs to heel or for irrevocably dividing the party by staying in the race too long! Her future is in YOUR hands! If you ever want Hillary Clinton to have a chance at the White House, you guys had better check yourselves before you wreck yourselves and Mrs. Clinton!

GaryW   June 10th, 2008 3:45 pm ET

I can't believe all these Hillary supporters feeling such sour grapes to actually vote for an extension of Republican policies which totally are opposite of Hillary's and continue sending over 7000 dollars a second to Iraq even as more of our brave soldiers and Iraqi civilians die.Food and energy prices are through the roof ,50 million working people without health insurance as testament to Bush's agenda. Oil companies and execs making record profits and bonuses the list goes on and on and somebody like Kathy would vote for Mc Same?!
As to Obama being bad for the country, how about the last 8 years with Mr.28%(W) it hasn't been too good for most people has it? We and our children will be paying for this war and the record REPUBLICAN deficit for many years and Mr. Bush's friends in that religious dictatorship Arabia don't seem to want to help with gas prices either! All you conservatives remember W had both houses of congress under his party's control for a good part of his terms and he still didn't get much done! As for war the armchair warhawks should be forced to experience the brutality of it all first hand and maybe they wouldn't be as quick to send somebody else's child there!

Mr Mike   June 10th, 2008 3:45 pm ET

I knew Hillary's supporters wouldn't let us down! The Obama bump shows great unity in the party. Despite a few comments here suggesting some will vote against their own interests and support McCain. The overwhelming majority are going to vote for Obama because we need a Dem in the White House. Thank you!

Clinton diehards. If you want Hillary in 2012, why not Obama 2008 and Hillary in 2012? Why McCain 2008? Surely Hillary can easily defeat Obama in 2012 in the primary. Hillary just has to participate in the caucus states this time. Her campaign strategy let her down, that's not Obama's fault. Next time, just have her win the nomination.

If you want Hillary in 2012, you certainly DO NOT want her to be VP to Obama. If you want Hillary in 2012, there's no reason not to have Obama in 2008. If he's as bad as your worst fear, he's still a better placeholder than McCain.

Comedy Central,

While the use of Susan B. Anthony's quote 'was' a nice touch, the only thing that is comical… is the fact that you imply the party "ignored" anyone.

C'mon cnn these polls mean nothing, I don't even think it's right to do this it could sway people not to vote if they are overconfident…

It won't be long before access to Plan B and the right to choose go right out the window. But, its your vote and your life.

Democrat in LA   June 10th, 2008 3:44 pm ET

Up by 4 here, Rasmussen has Obama up by 8 (with leaners), so more proof that this PUMA business and this "outrage" over the nomination is nothing more than Rovian tactics. Rovian tactics will never be able to manufacture McCain votes where they don't exist. The polls tell the true story– don't believe the "Hillary was robbed" hype. No true Democrat believes this.

Good Job Sen. Obama stay on point and continue to build your lead then you will have even more freedom to choose your running mate when everyone sees your power without even needing to think about adding anyone who would not be accepted as change to your TICKET.

Emily from Indy   June 10th, 2008 3:43 pm ET

@Comedy Central- Susan B. Anthony said that at a time when women were not permitted to vote. Now, women are afforded that right and there are many who voted for Obama through out the primary season.

Being a feminist shouldn't require women to blindly support any woman seeking a higher elected position. Just because Hillary is a woman, it does not logically conclude that she is the best choice for the welfare or the country (and women). I don't know why women would want a candidate that has polarized democrats and has been as deceitful, caustic, and insincere as many of her male political counterparts.

Women will only be ignored if they are ignorant and vote for McCain, rather than voting for a real advocate for women, Barack Obama.

Obama will beat the crap out of that old poop in debates ! Cant wait !

independent voter   June 10th, 2008 3:40 pm ET

My vote goes to the experienced candidate: Senator McCain.

Since Senator Clinton, as the most experienced candidate, wasn't chosen by the media, then the next in line in experience is Senator McCain.

obama happens to be the best orator, but that doesn't make a good president.

Heaven help us if he gets elected!

By the way, why wasn't Roe v Wade overturned during the republican congress and republican presidency? Anyone have an answer?

Greg Pottstown, Pa.   June 10th, 2008 3:40 pm ET

Good for him McCain still will hold more electors.I wonder if any of them were taken in red states

If 10% are undecided and he leads by 4% then this pole shows a dead heat . Want to talk about spin?

Charlotte   June 10th, 2008 3:40 pm ET

I just hope he doesn't pick Hillary, because she is better then that. Not to mention if something should happen to him, his supporters would scream she somehow conspired to "off" him. I think she should distance herself far away from him and his racist ideas. I will write her name on my ballot in November, I will not vote for McCain or Obama.

Wayne   June 10th, 2008 3:40 pm ET

Sorry CNN. Gallup daily has Obama up by SEVEN. The gap is widening fast. Also, Obama leads McCain among women and hispanics according to the gallup poll. No need to put Hill on the ticket to attract these groups. He's already winning them.

CNN sensentializes every aspect of this election. While I appreciate the fact that they have to try and keep people interested enough to sell advertizing, I think CNN has lost some of its edge on "quality" reporting.

gazela   June 10th, 2008 3:39 pm ET

I find it APPALLING, that so many people would vote for McCain or any republican nominee after what George W Bush did to this country. I find it SHOCKING that so many so-called deomocrats would vote republican because Hillary (their only nominee choice) didn't win the primaries!!

All one has to do is listen to McCain to realize that he is sooooooo wrong for the job, that he will only bring about another 4 years of the same politics we've seen in the past 8.

It's easy to say that Obama has only charisma, and no experience. Was Bush experienced? If he was (considering more than half of this country elected him TWICE), look where his experience has gotten us!!!

Say what you may, but Obama is a breath of fresh air. The man is highly intelligent, well liked by many people and HE CAN SPEAK!!. I have full faith that 4 years from now he will have us in a much better shape than 4 years of McCain…

All across the country, make the right decision and help us out of the mess we're in right now!!!

OBAMA 08!!

Monroe   June 10th, 2008 3:39 pm ET

It seems that McCain and his surrogates are set on framing the debate over economic policy in purely ideological terms and old labels. They hardly have any substance or detail about their policies or why they will work. It comes down to a few bits of rhetoric:

-Obama is a "tax and spend liberal"
-Obama will "raise taxes across the board"
-Liberals like Obama want to wall off the economy, then regulate it, then tax it
-Government shouldn't tax anyone because they are incompetent with money

These are all nonsense Reaganite lines, on which Republicans are ultimately terribly hypocritical (esp spending, waste, and budget management). Obama needs to differentiate himself not just in terms of policy, but in terms of being a pragmatist and not an ideologue. I believe this will resonate with many Americans. And with the Republicans talking only in terms of abstract concepts, with Obama inviting the American people to explore real solutions for our economy, they, not we, will be seen as the elitists.

Obama hits these points on ideology in his book, The Audacity of Hope. He needs to make them a central theme of his campaign.

JJ   June 10th, 2008 3:39 pm ET

Love the quote Comedy Central! I wouldn't and didn't vote for Hillary–and I liked her self-aggrandizing exit from the race even less–but arguably, her presence in the DNC's agenda as a U.S. Senator hasn't hurt their cause. For that reason alone, they might have showed her just a tiny bit more "love" in the primary phase of this campaign, and while I have a hard time believing that HRC's voters–all 18 million of them–will find a haven in McCain in protest, $5 says more than a few of them will sit it out in spite altogether. Typically I'd just watch "General Hospital" if I was looking for this much drama. As it is, I hope the hysterics end soon on all sides, and we can return to discussing the issues!

Suggestion for Obama   June 10th, 2008 3:39 pm ET

If we create a national sales tax on goods and remove all forms of payroll taxes, then I guarantee you that you will bring in more money in taxes.

Why? It has been proven that tax revenue is approximately 19.5% of GDP over the past 60 years… even if taxes are raised or lowered or whatever…

the difference is the more we are taxed, the lower the GDP, which actually means less taxes…

So my advice… let the rich have their money and spend it on houses and businesses, because you will end up collecting more from them in the long run than a certain "tax rate"

You can hide money in bank accounts globally, but you can't hide it when you spend it in the open market….

I have provided a great answer, and a FAIR AND EQUAL tax…

Duh   June 10th, 2008 3:39 pm ET

Oh come let us adore him....   June 10th, 2008 3:38 pm ET

No one dares criticize- the race card – in the back pocket

There's the key, "conducted before Hillary dropped out".

GO OBAMA! Anyone who questions his “vetting” for President of the United States is “tangentially inconsequential.” Furthermore, everyone understands that voting “present” 130 times in the IL Senate is “trivial” compared to his having to sit in that church for 20 years just to advance his political career. He was not born to a black man from Kenya and a white woman from Kansas to end up earning the “infinitesimally” tiny salary of $14K a year as a community organizer. Nor did he attend Harvard so that he could steel a measly couple of thousand votes during his run for the IL Senate. NO! His vision has always been higher than that.

Comedy Central, how did the DNC ignore women?   June 10th, 2008 3:37 pm ET

By not pressuring the superdelegates to overturn the will of the voters (since Obama WON THE MOST PLEDGED DELEGATES)? I don't understand the mentality that if people cast their votes for a candidate and that candidate loses, they somehow weren't heard.

So does that mean that if Hillary had actually won the nomination, then African-Americans, young people, educated people and the affluent all would have been ignored?

Comedy Central. You're complaining about the way you feel the Democratic Party treated Hillary. How do you think the Republicans would have treated her if she were running against John McCain? Think he'd be putting up pictures of them embracing each other? You're letting John McCain use you as pawns. If he wins the election, in January he'll be laughing about how he was smart enough to use women to help overturn Roe V. Wade.

Just remember, if it's not Obama this time, we will not support Hillary next time she runs. Think about it, your logic is very flawed. From what I am seeing though, many Clinton supporters have moved over to Obama. Thank you and God bless to everyone of you!!!

I have seen other polls where Obama is up further.

Travis. LA, CA   June 10th, 2008 3:36 pm ET

Pretty good. And the ace up Obama's sleeve is all the NEW voters (currently not included in these polls), that will be supporting him in Nov.

BTW, some of you disgruntled Hillary supporters sound like petulant children. We get it, you won't vote for Obama because you're bitter and immature. Good for you. Now take your ball and go home.

The funny thing is, your behavior only reinforces the notion that women should not be in positions of leadership. Why? Because your insistence on voting against your own self interest just so you can make a point is a perfect example of women who don't think rationally, but instead only react out of emotion. "Logic and reason? To hell with that, I'm furious and I'm going to chop off my own head if I think it will ruin your day." Brilliant ladies, keep it up.

Okay "bitter" , "Disillusioned", "cheated" or whatever you are whining about today" Hillary supporters…we get it…and we are sick of reading about it…CNN should do a better job of moderating comments so they at least reflect the topic.

I for one am no longer going to bother with this blog due to the dozen or so Clinton supporters or imposters who should be out doing something productive rather than posting their nonsense for every blog.

Hopefully, their tactics are backfiring as quite frankly they are getting to be a turnoff.

Quite presumptive as well saying that they represent 18 million voters…get over yourselves!!

The lead could increase or vanish depending on Barack's choice of VP . If he chooses Hillary the lead will go up. However, that is unlikely to beBarack's choice because it would always seem as if there are three presedents in the White House…
If he chooses any other woman, his lead will vanish because this would be felt like a slap in the face of the Hillary supprters. Conclusion: it will be a man !! Unless it's Al Gore or John Edwards, not much will change in the lead….

RickytheGriff   June 10th, 2008 3:34 pm ET

What self-respecting woman would vote for John McCain? A man who'll send your children into pointless wars overseas and overturn Roe Vs. Wade?

Wow you really are something else, I'm talking of course to the bitter Hillary supporters. Hillary was not ignored or pushed out of the race by "the man". Remember when she was the "inevitable" nominee with a 100 Superdelegate lead going into the race? Of course you don't because that is against your twisted agenda. Any rational Hillary supporter can see that it wasn't Obama or the DNC that messed this up for Hillary, it was her campaign staff.

Connie, Tennessee   June 10th, 2008 3:33 pm ET

The only thing that matters is the vote in November. Hopefully a landslide for OBAMA. To the so-called Democrats who say they will vote for McCain, apparently you aren't really Democrats. Obama and Hillary had the same stand on important issues. Oh well, you will have to live the outcome if we have 4 more years like the last 8!

Jeff   June 10th, 2008 3:33 pm ET

Actually, these early polls mean virtually nothing, but it's the Republicans who in for a bumby ride this election cycle. Americans will be reminded every single time they see the prices at the gas station between now and November that it has been the Republican policies that have got our nation in our current situation. I really hope that the Hillary supporters who are leaning McCain will reconsider. We want you with our winning ticket this fall.

actually obama did get a big bump Matt. Only the gallup poll in the CNN poll of polls was after Hillary dropped out. That poll has Obama up by 7%. And, the other tracking poll since Hillary dropped out is Rasmussen Reports which is not mentioned here. That has Obama up by 8% without leaners and 7% with leaners included.

America never looked so powerless as that day then she could not save her own and her beauty, democracy that is. We have been robbed, and all the fathers cried.

About Michelle Obama’s ranting and her incendiary language…
How many more proof do we really need to be convinced…like our votes don’t count? We have already heard and seen enough. We will not elect this man. How long are we going to let them run among us with their hates and lies with their smile, forcing us to trade our hopes and our changes, our freedom with their unknown? How much did we really know about this man and this secret sect called the Democratic Party? They’ve just trashed the 18 million paper ballots. If not now, then when? We say, NO!

Now people talk about pro-life and pro-choice, but how can they go against each others? There should be a better word for the arguments.
Pro-life means women’s rights, right?
And look what the DNC has done to their women. You have no rights, that’s what they pretty much said to all the women among 18 million of us.

Older is a good thing   June 10th, 2008 3:33 pm ET

I would think he would have come out more on top. That is nothing. We have a long way to go. I want to see Obama in Town Hall Meetings – getting asked the hard questions and having to answer them right there on the spot – no one for him to look to for the answers. I also have a question for Obama. How is it he seems to know so much more about the leaders of these foreign countries that want to harm us and how come they want him to be President. He was not for the war maybe becuase he did not want harm to go Irac etc. Obama needs to come clean as to who he really is. These awful leaders who want to kill us will be happy if he gets in but not McCain? Please Obama – enlighten all of us why that is????

MelissaMinneapolis   June 10th, 2008 3:33 pm ET

That's a great quote from Susan B Anthony, which is why we must support Obama.

Whatever your feelings on how the primary race turned out the Democrats have a history of supporting women unlike the GOP.

Steve in California   June 10th, 2008 3:33 pm ET

This sounds very similar to a situation Obama had in the Democratic Party nomination process a few months ago. He was well behind in the polls, running against a well-established, well-financed politician who had a sense of entitlement to the presidency.

Mr. McCain, enjoy your time in the spot light. It's not going to last. You now have the Obama AND the Clinton machines headed for you. Your campaign is about to get flattened.

Justice Hillary Clinton. Now there is a position where Hillary could do the most good.

In response to "Comedy Central"'s post and SB Anthony–that is precisely why you should not vote for McCain and the Republicans, who oppose women's rights of all forms and kinds. THINK, people, for the sake of the nation. Sheesh. While people like Kathy, above, clearly vote with their hearts, I trust that the smarter majority will vote with their heads.

Michael   June 10th, 2008 3:31 pm ET

Only time will tell, these polls are just a snap shot in time. Matt, what exact are we supposed to wake up and see? Kathy why would you vote for McCain if you are a avid Clinton supporter, are not the issues she stands for important to you, do you not realize that her and Obama agree on 95% of the issues. Is it the experience issue, let's see, Bush was the Governor of Texas and we all see the mess he got us into so. His father was the VP for eight years yet he still managed to wreck the economy so the experience argument is invalid.

Obama-Junkie, IL   June 10th, 2008 3:31 pm ET

Here we go! As Obama contrasts himself sharper and sharper with McCain, these polls will start to diverge even more. Hillary just "officially " exited the race on Saturday June 7th. Watch the polls after June 23rd and you see the effects of the Obama bump!

Andy Tippen   June 10th, 2008 3:31 pm ET

As a non-American watching this from the UK I am utterly amazed at how supposed Democrats would vote for the Republican Party out of, what appears to be, spite!

How can Plan A be Hillary and Plan B McCain – they are diametrically opposed in their views on so many topics.

America has found itself with a 'once in a generation' politician in Barack Obama. The wider world is hoping and praying that enough Americans are wise enough to realise this.

jfs Memhis, Tn   June 10th, 2008 3:30 pm ET

It should be @6 to 8 by late next week…………The distinction between the two will only get greater and greater. Obama is just now getting started….McCain has been at it since late March. The TRUE winds of change are just beginning to kick-up. McCain WITH ALL OF HIS EXPERIECE has a difficult Change case to make. Change is generally not found with candidates having 30 plus years in Washington DC. I'm 60 and I have never seen an Agent of Change with 30 years of Washington Baggage Yet !!! Prove it to me!!!

wait and see who wins in Nov   June 10th, 2008 3:30 pm ET

Well… I was an agitator for change back in 1968… but the Republicans ended up winning that year as well.

PEOPLE wise up- even the democrats don't all lean that far left.

WE DO NOT HAVE ROMAN EMPIRES ANYMORE.WE ARE NOT AS A GREAT NATION.IMUNE TO DESTRUCTTION.WE ARE NOW AT A VERY CRITICAL POINT IN OUR HISTORY,TO ELECT PEOPLE WHO ARE INTELLIGENT ENOUGH TO GUIDE THIS COUNTRY TO WHAT WE WERE.I BELEIVE OBAMA HAS THE POTENTIAL AND THE WILL.
HE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO DO IT OVERNIGHT,BUT ANOTHER 4 YEARS OF MCAIN WILL TAKE US TO THE DESTRUCTION ROUTE.

Nathan B/Colorado   June 10th, 2008 3:30 pm ET

Quite frankly Hillary supporters need to get over it. She did not, move on, you cannot possible tell me that she is the only one who holds to key to the democratic ticket. I wonder if any one of you had played sport before. In any case, if you choose to vote for McCain, then i wonder what drew you to Hillary in the First place. Issues or Sexism? And last time I checked MCCain is the a female

Zman   June 10th, 2008 3:30 pm ET

KATHY PLEASE GO AHEAD AND VOTE FOR MC CAINE YOU DO NOT HAVE TO TELL US THAT. WE REALLY DON'T NEED YOUR VOTE ANYWAY.

Todd S   June 10th, 2008 3:29 pm ET

How can Hillary supporters continue to say that they will vote for McCain if she is not on the ticket. This is just beyond belief. By doing that you will crush most of what you belive in and it will not be able to be fixed by then voting her into office in 2012.

- McCain will appoint the justices to overturn Roe v Wade

- McCain will do NOTHING to improve healthcare

Regardless of what is said, this will be Bush's 3rd term but only worse.

Please do yourselves a service and get over the hurt and work to get the best option into the White House

LB   June 10th, 2008 3:29 pm ET

Way to go Obama. Your supports are behind you 100%. As an Obama supporter I don't think it is our place to say "Not Hillary as the VP". If you want the Hillary supporters to now support Obama, then we in turn should be grown up enough to not say bad things about Hillary for the VP spot. or any other bad comments. Fair is fair. You can't ask her supporters to be nice and vote for our candidate and then turn around and say negative things about the person they supported. We can't call them childish and then act like a spoiled child ourselves. United we stand!!!

ObamaIsAlrightWithMe   June 10th, 2008 3:29 pm ET

President Obama…..Obama haters need to practice saying that over and over again. That way, when he is sworn in January 2009, it won't hurt so much.

The despair   June 10th, 2008 3:29 pm ET

Countries who are so down and out like the USA is now tend to make mistakes and vote for dictators.

Don't take my word for it…research it.

What country was not looking for amorphous change and the promise of hope and not responsive to inspiring charismatic leaders when they succumbed to dictators?

And check out the role of a biased and no-longer-free press in bringing about that change.

EVERYONE ON THE BANDWAGON- that is ONLY the first sign of danger.

Brian Metzger   June 10th, 2008 3:29 pm ET

Obama's support will only grow as the American public gets to know him and his leadership approach, which is inclusive of all ideas and refreshingly nonpartisan.

FLORIDA Voter for Obama   June 10th, 2008 3:29 pm ET

Hey Comedy Central-

Hillary wasn't ignored by her party. She ran a BAD campaign. She was mistaken when she thought she could just walk in the place and "be president." Little did she knows it takes HARD WORK and her work started TOO LATE.

That is the truth that YOU refuse to admit.

Phil Newton, Murphy OR   June 10th, 2008 3:28 pm ET

Nearly all of these alleged "Hillary/McCain Democrats" are Republicans desperately trying to elect the nearly unelectable McCain.

What thinking person would vote for a man who would tax health care benefits and hand a bigger tax break to the wealthy?

Thanks, my friend.

For nothing.

Independent (Ex-Democrat) in Iowa   June 10th, 2008 3:28 pm ET

These polls are retarded. Obama can lead in the popular vote but lose the GE due to the Electoral College.

Hillary tried to point this out and she was bashed for stating the obvious.

I'm going to miss her – a powerful woman that would have done this country a great service.

Pat   June 10th, 2008 3:28 pm ET

Comedy Central

She wasn't IGNORED. She lost fair and square!

Colony14Author   June 10th, 2008 3:28 pm ET

That's it? A slight lead that's within the margin of error? Jeez, with everyone hating Bush, the Iraq war, and high gas prices, and with the media anointing Obama as the saviour of the world, why is he not ahead 10 to 1? Could it be perhaps that thinking people in the United States are ready for a black president but not ready for a socialist president?

Xavier, St. Louis, MO   June 10th, 2008 3:27 pm ET

If people could let go of their bigotry, then Obama would be up by 14+ points.

That just goes to show you that some people would rather cut their own throat then to do what is right.

Also, People Hillary lost. I understand your devotion to her but you have to let this “I’m voting for McCain" mentality go. Hillary is voting for Obama. I suggest you do the same.

Obamanation '08

ObamaIsAlrightWithMe   June 10th, 2008 3:27 pm ET

Just like the superdelegate trickle, every week he'll get a bump. By the convention he should have a comfortable 10-15 point lead that he won't relinquish.

Obama haters everywhere are just a sick as they can be. They're gonna pick at every little thing. If he doesn't get a 10 point jump that means he's gonna lose. One of his VP vetters got favorable mortgages from Countrywide, oh he has poor judgment. Pleeeeeeease! Pay attention to what's going on around you. Hillary isn't is the game anymore and McCain will self-destruct before the Republican National Convention.

Obama is on a roll that will not stop until we reach the White House.

Dianne   June 10th, 2008 3:26 pm ET

No Hillary on the ticket, no vote for Mr.Obama.

Jay Ramos in NYC   June 10th, 2008 3:26 pm ET

For all you Obama groupies, do any of you ever look or read beyond his nice speeches or rethoric?

His economic plans call for raising income taxes, raising corporate taxes, and raising capital gains taxes, while at the same time extending unemployment benefits, so if you work hard, and make more money, you pay higher taxes, if you use your money to invest in the economy by buying stocks or sell your home, you pay more taxes, and if you want to open your own business, you pay more taxes.

But at the same time, if you sit at home and don't work, you will get extended benefits. Guess where the money for that will come from, the pocket of the person working hard and paying extra taxes.

is this what we want for our country? Really?

Dwayne   June 10th, 2008 3:26 pm ET

Although many are miffed about the Democratic primary, it will become more evident that the Supreme Court, Iraq, and the Economy will really matter in the months ahead. 4 points is just the beginning. John McCain does not represent the change America is looking for.

Obama will be sworn in Jan. '09 because the American people will have stood with him, then his challenge will be to lead and govern.

JJ   June 10th, 2008 3:26 pm ET

I have confidence the gap will widen within a few weeks….Mu SO on the hand doesn't seem to think so….

Pat   June 10th, 2008 3:26 pm ET

Let's see, under the Republican led Congress, gas prices went up about a dollar fifty over a period of 12 years.

The democrats have control of Congress for a year and a half and gas prices have nearly doubled, up nearly two dollars.

I can't believe people can ignore facts like this and somehow think the democrats in Congress care one little bit about the American people.

They lie to your face, and stab you in the back.

angela   June 10th, 2008 3:26 pm ET

I will not be voting for Obama, 18 million people voted already on who they wanted. Obama cannot win without her and our country is lost without her.

Realistic   June 10th, 2008 3:26 pm ET

This should have been an easy victory for Democrats in November given the failures of the last eight years. Polls should currently reflect a huge margin of victory for Democrats.

But once again the Democrat leaders have selected a weak candidate who will not and can not win in November.

The lead is going to continue, up and up. I still see a lot of Repubnantkin trolls on here. Gorw up. If you want to vote for McBush, then state your true reason, not the same old tired things! By the way national polls say 6 point. CNN poll of polls is always WRONG! OBAMA 08

tony   June 10th, 2008 3:22 pm ET

Just think that after all the hoopla–
When they get into the polling booth–they will not be able to pull the lever for Obama—
Many Americas view him as a fast talker with no experience as well as very little substance–
Raising taxes on the people who already have the most tax burden will only make those people invest elsewhere when they realize they are being taken advantage of–

Happily Independent   June 10th, 2008 3:22 pm ET

These polls are meaningless right now. Once Obama and McCain start to debate, Obama will expose McCain' age and last of emotion. McCain is definitely not the McCain of 2000. When he talks it is like is reading a script. He does not inspire optimism or confidence that he has a vision for the direction he wants to lead the country. Style is not everything but style does mean something. Unless he starts becoming more energetic in his speeches and in his answers, his age is going to become a real issue.

Tony   June 10th, 2008 3:20 pm ET

I love how Hillary die-hards are whining about how she needs to be the VP. Do any of you really understand the significance of the vice president? Yes, you become president if the original president dies, but the rest of the job consists of hanging out in the Senate and waiting for a 50-50 vote to act as a tiebreaker.

If you want a woman as president, you're really gonna have to wait for a better one to come along. Hillary's eight years of presidential experience (well, in her opinion, anyway) isn't enough to earn her a spot as the leader of this once-great country.

Pappu   June 10th, 2008 3:20 pm ET

As I watch him try to make a play for us Clinton supporters, while dissing her for the VP spot, here is one vote he is not getting in November.

David Newport, OR   June 10th, 2008 3:20 pm ET

Popular vote means nothing…it is about winning the electoral college. Of course, instead of reading suggestions on how to do that when I come back here, I am confident I will be reading name slinging trash instead. Ever wonder why? Maybe 90% of the people who post here are not what they claim to be. ASL anyone?

Patrick   June 10th, 2008 3:19 pm ET

The more the American people get to compare Senator Obama to Senator John "I will veto beer" McCain, the higher Obama's lead will get. Gallop has Obama up +7 over McCain.

One of 18 Million   June 10th, 2008 3:19 pm ET

Do you all realize that 18 million people voted for Hillary Clinton? Are you all really that dumb to think that we're just gonna swoon over Oprabama because Hillary "endorsed" him? Oh yeah, let's just make Sebelius the VP choice, then that will satisfy all those angry Clinton voters…the token woman. Good thinking…

Capt. Smash, Salt Lake City, Utah   June 10th, 2008 3:19 pm ET

Let’s talk about the economy and Bush/McCain and the GOP. The war in Iraq has done so much damage to our economy here in the US we have only begun to see the effects.
If you think back to the before the McCain/Bush invasion of Iraq oil was trading around 25.00 a barrel. Now we are looking 150.00 a barrel before the end of summer.

Some of you say this has nothing to do with the war in Iraq; let’s play the blame game. Well let’s follow the money shall we? With any crime that has been committed you have to find motive. Who has benefited most from this war in Iraq?

A. Bush and Channey are two former oil executives and have friends in American Big Oil Companies; have they benefited?

B. Big equipment and supply companies (i.e.) Halliburton; have they benefited?

C. How about Iran, they more money now then they ever had; have they benefited?

D. Saudi Arabia Bush begs them to produce more oil; have they benefited?

E. Has Osama Bin Laden and Al Quida; have they received more money from the Saudi Arabians that secretly support them; have they benefited? Has he even been killed or captured? We found Hitler in a bunker are Bush/McCain and the GOP chicken s**t to go get this turd?

F. The military industrial complex; have they benefited?

I love America to much to VOTE FOR MCAIN AND THE GOP!

Obama 08/12

Darrell   June 10th, 2008 3:18 pm ET

CNN – You and your silly polls. Obama will not win the race in November no matter how you try and find polls saying he will. This man lacks the experience and judgment to lead this great country. I predict one of the largest losses for Democrats to date and a large exodus by long-time members of the Democratic Party all in 2008.

Beltway Insider   June 10th, 2008 3:15 pm ET

Just the beginning.

Smart people knew as soon as Hillary was out of the picture, that Obama's numbers would take off.

McCain is no longer safely hidden from view. Wait until the first presidential debate – Obama will shoot up at least another 10 points.

Smart people know Obama will be our next Presdient. Period.

Whine, complain, cry, and tantrum as much as you want. It's going to happen. Get on board and vote for Obama – or don't – doesn't really matter – we don't need the votes of racists and bitter old hags anyway.
