Closing the Gap
A new USA Today/Gallup poll out today shows Sen. Obama honing in on frontrunner status in the Democratic primary. According to the report, “newcomer Barack Obama has closed to within 5 points of Hillary Clinton.”
The former first lady was the choice of 31% of Democrats and Democratic leaners in the national poll, taken Friday through Sunday. That’s down from 38% at the beginning of April. Obama, meanwhile, jumped from 19% early in the month to 26% in the new poll.

This article is great and the polls very telling. As more and more people take the time to learn about or go to meet Senator Barack Obama, these poll numbers will continue to favor him. I saw him this weekend in Tampa, he is a very genuine person with real hope for the future of our country. I am very optimistic that the voters will put Barack Obama in the White House, in 2008.

1st, you have a great site; keep up the good work. Now, I just saw the item and the figures are HEARTWARMING. In this world, it seems to me, there are two kinds of people: the QUICK and the SLOW, and it does seem that by November 2008 there’ll be more of the QUICK than the SLOW. 1nce again, keep up the good work.
