Riding a wave of 11 straight primary and caucus victories, Barack Obama now holds a sizeable edge over Hillary Clinton on qualities such as electability in November, caring about people, inspiring the nation, and ability to work across the aisle. This momentum is reflected, too, in the national lead Obama has now opened up in preference for the nomination.While both candidates have made much of their policy differences on the key issues of Iraq and Health Care, voters see only minor differences between the two.
Many more Democratic primary voters think Obama, not Clinton, is best able to beat Senator John McCain, the likely Republican nominee.
59% think Obama has the best chance while just 28% think Clinton does. Even a fifth of Clinton’s supporters, 18%, thinks Obama has the best chance against McCain, although two thirds of her voters think she does.
