The latest three-day average finds Clinton favored by 45% of Democratic and Democratic-leaning voters and Obama by 44%. Gallup interviews from Feb. 19, the first day following Obama's strong win in Tuesday's Wisconsin primary, do not show an increase in Obama's support that some might have expected as a result.Clinton's technical one-percentage point lead is the first time she has been ahead of Obama in Gallup Daily Poll tracking since Feb. 9-11, although it is statistically indistinguishable from Obama's one-point lead in Gallup's Feb. 16-18 interviewing.
While the Democratic race continues to play out as a tug-of-war between Clinton and Obama, the Republican race is growing less and less competitive. John McCain's lead over Mike Huckabee stretched to 40 points in the latest three-day tracking, 62% to 22%. This is up from McCain's 34-point lead in Tuesday's release based on Feb. 17-19 interviews, and from his 22-point lead one week ago.
