THE RACE: The presidential race for Democrats nationally

------

THE NUMBERS

Barack Obama, 50 percent

Hillary Rodham Clinton, 42 percent.

------

OF INTEREST:

Obama's 8 percentage point lead in this Gallup Poll is his first statistically significant lead in surveys by this organization since the controversy arose over sermons by the candidate's longtime pastor, the Rev. Jeremiah Wright. It ties Obama's largest lead in this survey since Gallup began nightly polling in early January.

------

The Gallup Poll was conducted March 25-27 and involved telephone interviews with 1,218 Democratic and Democratic-leaning voters. It had a margin of sampling error of plus or minus 3 percentage points. The survey was a tracking poll, in which Gallup interviews voters every night and uses the results from the three most recent evenings.
