Just out this evening at 6:30 PM Eastern Time. ABC News/Washington Post Poll.
The numbers are great for Obama against Clinton as well as McCain.
This is the first-post presumptive nominee poll.

  • Obama's "big lead" is still not as big as it was at the end of February - when he had a 7.5% average lead in the polls.

    Obama was at 24% on Jan. 3, then he shot up to 49% by Feb. 28 - and has gone nowhere ever since.

    But maybe Rupert Murdoch's endorsement will finally push him over the top - who knows?

      That is in part a reflection of the campaign between the two of them going more negative and the result of McCain having no opposition. That is changing and will continue to change.
