USA Today/Gallup: Obama Widens National Lead
A new USA Today/Gallup poll shows Barack Obama leading Hillary Clinton among Dems nationally, 50%-40%. He was up 7 percentage points in last month's poll.
USA Today's Susan Page writes: "Efforts by Clinton and John McCain, the presumptive Republican nominee, to characterize Obama as elitist for his remarks at a San Francisco fundraiser seem to have failed. Seven of 10 say Obama "respects working-class Americans" rather than looks down on them — a slightly more positive reading than that for McCain or Clinton."
The survey shows Clinton faring better, however, against John McCain. Obama bests him, 47%-44% among registered voters. Clinton beats McCain 50%-44%.
The poll of 1,016 adults, taken Friday through Sunday, has a margin of error of +/- 3 points for the full sample. The error margin for the sample of 552 Democrats is 5 points.

National polls of all adults are totally useless.
"Faring better against McCain" seems to be entirely due to sample selection, no? 552 Dems out of 1016 surveyed? With neither Barry or Hil getting more than 50%, despite the skew in those surveyed, I wouldn't be doing any victory laps here...
