"Registered voters prefer McCain to Obama by 47% to 42%" (May 4, 2008) [View all]

May 4, 2008

PRINCETON, NJ -- Gallup Poll Daily tracking shows Barack Obama is the current choice of 49% of Democratic voters nationwide for the party's presidential nomination, while 45% back Hillary Clinton.

.....

Clinton has been running better versus John McCain than Obama in the Gallup tracking general election trial heats for the last four days, though McCain has the edge over each Democrat. Registered voters currently prefer McCain to Clinton by 46%-45% and McCain to Obama by 47%-42%.

I imagine that many here were urging Obama to withdraw based upon Hillary's stronger polling numbers against McCain?
