Quote:
Obama remains the preferred Democratic nominee among all voters nationwide, now by seven points over Hillary Clinton, up from two points in mid-March. Obama’s narrow leads with registered Democrats and Independents are within the margin of error. Two weeks ago, Independents supported him by a larger margin.What has changed is that Obama is now the choice of Republicans, though many of them don't want either candidate. In mid-March, Clinton led Obama among Republicans, 35% to 27%. (Of course, that can just as easily be due to Republicans thinking Obama might be easier to beat as Republicans liking his candidacy). But it is they who have given Obama what is now a larger lead over Hillary Clinton among all registered voters than he had a few weeks ago.
Expectations that Obama will eventually be the nominee have grown in the last two weeks: today more than two-thirds of Democratic voters think he will ultimately win, up from 55% in mid-march.
