Zogby: Obama beats Clinton almost 2:1 nationwide

[Tender Branson]

As he moves ever closer to wrapping up the Democratic Party presidential nomination, Obama is also opening up a big lead over Clinton among Democrats nationwide. In a national preference test, he leads her by a 59% to 33% margin, the latest Reuters/Zogby poll shows.

He completely dominates among those voters under age 35, winning more than 80% support, but also leads among all voters under age 70, where she holds a solid advantage. Obama also now leads among almost all likely Democratic voters according to political philosophy – moderates, mainline liberals, and progressives. Clinton leads only among conservative Democrats.

Obama also leads Clinton among both Catholics and Protestants, and among those who claim no religious affiliation.

The live-operator telephone survey was conducted May 15-18, 2008, and included 1,076 likely voters nationwide. The poll carries a margin of error of +/- 3.0 percentage points.

The Zogby-Team must have taken something strong while conducting this survey, because Obama got 70% of young voters in his favorable Oregon, yet he wins 80% (!!!) of young voters nationwide ...

Very useful poll when only Montana, Puerto Rico and South Dakota have not held primaries yet.
