The Gallup Daily Tracking Poll announced today that Hillary Clinton is maintaining her lead over Barack Obama: the poll shows Clinton with a five percentage point lead over Obama in national Democratic voters' nomination preferences, 48% to 43%.

According to Gallup’s Web site, “This marks the second consecutive day of Gallup Poll Daily tracking showing Clinton with a statistically significant lead over Obama, something she had not accomplished since Feb. 7-9 polling. Clinton's recent momentum has coincided with the controversy created by Obama's association with controversial preacher Rev. Jeremiah Wright."

The latest tracking poll also shows: “Currently, registered voters express a slight preference for John McCain rather than either of the Democrats for the general presidential election. McCain has a 47% to 43% lead over Obama, and holds a 48% to 45% edge over Clinton. Both sets of numbers are unchanged from Wednesday's release. – Jeff Jones.”
