Obama, Romney Expand Leads In California (Zogby)

Zogby has updated his daily tracking polls of California, Missouri, New Jersey, and Georgia for the Democrats and California, New York, New Jersey, and Missouri for the Republicans.

On the Democratic side, Zogby now has Obama expanding his lead in California, 46% to 40% for Clinton. He also has Obama taking the lead in Missouri, 47% to 42% for Clinton. In New Jersey, Obama is up one point with he and Clinton now tied at 43%. In Georgia, Obama is up 17 points.

"The momentum is with Obama," said pollster John Zogby. "If this trend continues it could be a very big night for him."

The big question for Obama now is if he can keep that momentum going until voting on Tuesday. New Hampshire showed how fast things can change.

On the Republican side, Mitt Romney is also expanding his surprising lead in California. He is now up 40% to 32% for John McCain. In Missouri, McCain is leading Mike Huckabee 35% to 27% with Romney at 24%. McCain is still up big in New York and New Jersey.

Sorry, I have a hard time believing this. OK, Obama may be ahead but Romney up by 8%??????

One thing is certain though: whatever happens tommorow someone will end up with egg on their face, Zogby because of this poll or Schwartzenegger for endorsing a loser

Clinton trailing Obama.
McCain trailing Romney.
Zogby's record is a little suspect from what I hear, but I'm keeping my fingers crossed. Let him be right !

It’s only true if folks in CA will actually VOTE on Tues.

I will be voting with every fiber of my purple ink stained pointy finger.

I think it’s trending to Obama, definitely. I think he’ll take California, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Illinois, and run most of the table in the South. Clinton will take New York, Jersey, Tennessee, some of the Mountain west. And in the end it’ll be Obama heading the ticket in November.

Why so much animosity? You know, in Fl (where McCain won by >100000 votes) and in Ca, primaries are closed. No illegals, never.

That's largely because Hillary's a terrible candidate. This is her nomination to lose, and she is, as much as it is an awakening for Obama.

Obama will be tougher to beat than Hillary, IMO.

well the dems have proportional so obama doesn’t have to win as many states and still get lots of delegates. Intrade does show hillary 57 to obama 45

mccain? 89.

Obama will be easier to live with. hillary is a leninist and is not afraid to use force. We had a preview during the clinton years

Romney needs California now more than ever, and the bigger the win the better. I think he needs to win about 400 (or more) delegates tomorrow , to stay alive.

As far as the Illegal vote...Hell Yes.

4 Dims were busted in S. Texas for voter fraud last week. (helping illegals cast ineligible mail-in votes)

Maybe it has something to do with how McCain has been on a 7-year quest to embarrass the Bush Administration (and thus America) in the eyes of the world.

According to McCain, Gitmo is illegal.....

The Bush Administration is violating the Geneva Conventions.....

Oil sources in Alaska and elsewhere should be off-limits for US consumption.....

The US is responsible for global warming and thus should consider Kyoto treaty carbon taxes on American citizens....

Faithful Christians in America are bigoted and disturbed for supporting tighter borders......

Donald Rumsfield was a failure.....

You name it, and McCain was supporting the globalists in trying to tear down the prestige and pride of the USA....

McCain cares more about his own petty feelings in the wake of the 2000 election than he does about American justice in the eyes of the world.

The man is unstable.

I think Intrade lags a bit. Look at the polls on RealClearPolitics and everything is trending Obama. I really think he’s going to out-do Clinton tomorrow and after that watch Intrade switch.

This is her nomination to lose, and she is...

That's been the story of the whole campaign so far. Last summer the nomination was Giuliani's to lose, and he lost it. Then after Iowa it was Hucklebee's to lose, and he lost it. Now it's McCain's to lose and we'll see how he does.

Not so hard to fathom. People out here in Cali FREAKED OUT at McCain’s debate performance at the Reagan library. Even his supporters thought he was totally unhinged.

Things on the dem side have been fairly quiet since South Carolina. I wonder if the witch is licking her wounds or planning a Monday surprise.
