Baracking the Barrier
May 20th, 2008
It looks like Hillary’s campaign is falling prey to the perception of Obama’s inevitability: Gallup has Obama breaking out with a 16-point national lead, the biggest he’s had, and the latest in a 4-day trend that has taken Obama from a 4-point lead of 48%-44% to the 16-point lead of 55%-39%. Whether this will affect Democratic voting in Oregon and Kentucky is yet to be seen. Also to be seen is whether this is a true trend indicating consensus on his nomination and will continue, or if it is a statistical burp and Obama will fall back down to a smaller lead again.
