sen. cllinton by seiu_internationalMaybe. A new Reuters/Zogby poll just out shows that Barack Obama’s “big national lead over Hillary Clinton has all but evaporated in the U.S. presidential race,” says Reuters.

Bad news for Democrats,however, is that both Obama and Clinton trail the presumptive Republican nominee, John McCain.

The figures

The poll was conducted from March 13-14 and has a margin of error of plus or minus 4.4 percent. It was also taken before Obama’s speech on race relations yesterday that has been widely praised in some circles.

The poll shows Obama with a lead of 47 percent to 44 percent over Clinton, down from a 14 point spread last month, Reuters says.

    Good to see you have such command of the English language, Sal. One never would have guessed! My congrats to your teachers over the years.

    Your apparent quick wit and laser-like analysis of the political landscape should serve you well; though, I must confess, it is a shame that you are apparently allowed to vote. But, this can’t be a perfect world, I guess.
