Gallup: Obama ahead of Clinton by 8 points; McCain leads both
Sen. Barack Obama's lead over Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton in Gallup's daily national "tracking poll" grew to 8 percentage points today -- putting it just outside the survey's margin of error.

Gallup says Obama has a 50%-42% advantage over his rival for the Democratic presidential nomination. Yesterday, he held a 48%-44% lead.

The survey firm writes that Obama's advantage "ties his largest lead of the Gallup Poll Daily tracking program, along with a 50% to 42% showing in Feb. 28-March 1 polling. Obama clearly has weathered the (Rev. Jeremiah) Wright storm, while the dark clouds have shifted to Clinton over whether she has exaggerated her foreign policy credentials. This week she has had to defend her repeated claim that she came under sniper fire while visiting Bosnia as first lady, which news video clearly disputed."

According to Gallup, its results are "based on combined data from March 25-27, 2008. For results based on this sample of 1,218 Democratic and Democratic-leaning voters, the maximum margin of sampling error is +/- 3 percentage points."

Please remember: Polls are snapshots of current public opinion and -- especially when there's still a lot of race left to run -- are not forecasts of what will actually happen. For several days last week, Clinton was ahead. Her widest advantage was 7 percentage points.
