After Hillary Clinton’s big win in the Pennsylvania primary, the NEWSWEEK poll shows Barack Obama losing ground on a number of key survey measures. The double-digit lead for Obama in preference for the nomination among registered Democrats and Democratic leaners1 has been reduced to seven points (48%-41%). Obama’s favorability rating has dropped further since last week’s poll. Four in 10 (40%) registered voters now say they have an unfavorable opinion of him. Only a week ago, the Illinois Senator was widely viewed as the Democratic candidate most likely to defeat John McCain. With another win in a big state, Clinton has cut into his advantage as the stronger candidate for the fall. Currently, 46% believe Obama is more electable while 38% give Clinton the edge. One week ago, Obama led on this measure by 55% to 33%.
