I was shocked the DNC Times reported the results of their poll. I wonder if they did the poll, did not believe the results, and took the poll again
Which they have known to do
The Democrat party is being ripped apart, and it will only get worse as Hillary stays in the race, and Obamas buddies keep speaking out
Primary loss, Wright furor hurt Obama in poll
Turbulent race takes toll on Dems’ sense of unity, but GOP wounds healing

WASHINGTON - Senator Barack Obama’s aura of inevitability in the battle for the Democratic presidential nomination has diminished after his loss in the Pennsylvania primary and amid the furor over his former pastor, according to the latest New York Times/CBS News Poll.
The poll was conducted Friday through Tuesday, largely before Mr. Obama’s news conference on Tuesday, in which he denounced his former pastor, the Rev. Jeremiah A. Wright Jr., and may not have fully captured the impact of the controversy or Mr. Obama’s response.
But the survey found that Mr. Obama, whose lead in the race for the delegates needed to secure the nomination has given him a commanding position over Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton since February, is now perceived to be in a much tighter fight. Fifty-one percent of Democratic primary voters say they expect Mr. Obama to win their party’s nomination, down from 69 percent a month ago. Forty-eight percent of Democrats say he is the candidate with the best chance of beating Senator John McCain of Arizona, the presumptive Republican nominee, down from 56 percent a month ago.
