OBAMA MAINTAINS LEAD OVER CLINTON IN PRIMARY RACE BOTH CLINTON AND OBAMA SOLIDIFY STANDING AGAINST MCCAIN

Democratic Primary Voters Significantly More Enthusiastic about Their Candidates than Republican Primary Voters are about McCain


New York, May 9, 2008 – Barack Obama has maintained more than a 10 point lead over Hillary Clinton among a national sample of Democratic primary voters since last month, with a statistically insignificant narrowing of the gap by Clinton (March: Obama, 50%; Clinton, 38%; May: Obama, 48%; Clinton, 37%). The Diageo/Hotline Poll of 803 registered voters conducted by FD from April 30 – May 3, 2008, shows that while Democratic primary voters say they would be equally as satisfied with either nominee (Obama, 76%; Clinton, 75%), they are more "enthusiastic" about Obama than Clinton by a 6-point margin. Republican primary voters express significantly less enthusiasm in voting for John McCain, with only 34% saying they will vote for him enthusiastically, with another 42% saying they will vote for him mainly as a vote against the Democratic candidate. Overall, 55% of GOP primary voters report that they would have preferred someone other than McCain.
