USA Today/Gallup: Obama Jumps To National Lead

USA Today and Gallup have a new national poll out today that shows Barack Obama up 12 points over Hillary Clinton.

Democratic voters also believe by a three-to-one margin that Obama will be his party's nom.

Meanwhile, the survey shows that John McCain would run ahead of Clinton in a general election, 50% to 46%. He and Obama are effectively tied, 48% to 47%.
