Gallup Poll: Obama Re-Takes Lead Over Clinton

The latest Gallup Poll finds Sen. Barack Obama with an eight point lead over Sen. Hillary Clinton, 50% to 42%, giving him "a statistically significant advantage for the first time since before the Rev. Jeremiah Wright controversy."

"Obama last held a significant lead over Clinton in March 11-13 polling, just before Wright's controversial sermons came to light and put his former parishioner on the defensive. Clinton seemed to benefit from the Wright flap, moving into the lead in two consecutive days of tracking releases (based on March 16-18 and March 17-19 polling). That lead quickly dissipated and the two candidates retreated into a statistical dead heat, where they have been for much of the recent campaign."
