Despite McCain and Clinton's best efforts to turn voters away from Barack Obama, he is surging in the polls.
New York Times-CBS News poll: Obama 54%, Clinton 38%
(In the NYTCBS poll in January, they each had 41$)
Associated Press-Ipsos (Monday): Obama 46% Clinton 43%
In Early February, the same poll had Clinton ahead by five points.
USA Today/Gallup (Monday): Obama 51% Clinton 39%
Time Poll Matchup results:
Obama vs. McCain 50-38%
Clinton vs. McCain 46-46%
(Ralph Nader, of course, will ruin everything)

That's just in the polls of voters who hate America. Once he locks up the party nomination, then he'll have to face the flag pin-wearing, turban-wary, Bible-thumping salt of the earth.

It's interesting to watch the polls change over time! I wonder if he wins if he will offer the vice job to Hillary? Or visa versa if she wins?

I am jumping on the Barack Bandwagon (actually since Edwards dropped out I have been leaning that way.) The reason? Because Terry McCauliffe is in the Clinton campaign.
Look for my outstandingly lucid endorsement coming soon at Tangled Up in Blue Guy, the blog.
Soon.
