This is what the front page of pollster RasmussenReports looks like this afternoon.
According to Rasmussen polling, in a telephone survey of 800 likely voters, Obama leads Romney by 9 (vs Clinton ahead of Romney by a smaller number, by 5).
Barack Obama also is leading John McCain now by a bigger margin than Clinton does. Obama bests McCain by 5 points, vs Clinton edging McCain by just 2.
The margin of error in the polls is 4 points.
Separately (as highlighted earlier on the site), Rasmussen's daily national primary poll is showing a 3-point spread in the preference between Clinton and Obama among Democrats, nearly erased from an early 20-point gap at the start of November.
Good news also from Nevada when you take a close look at the vote their in mid-January.
Quite different from the story line being spun that Obama's strength is confined to urban-dwellers or black Americans, the results show he swept the rural counties decisively in the "Silver state."
One intriguing outcome of Saturday's Democratic caucus is that Barack Obama, a Chicago politician whose appeal nationwide is deep among affluent liberals and college students, broke through in Nevada's mining and ranching counties.
Obama beat rival Hillary Clinton decisively in nine of 14 rural Republican-dominated counties. In Esmeralda, on the state's western edge, he won 22 delegates to nine for the New York senator.
Obama's strength in rural Nevada speaks to the breadth of his appeal and to his campaign's organizing efforts in Republican strongholds that Nevada's Democratic Party has traditionally written off.
The demographics are kind of different than what everyone is assuming nationwide. CBS News reported last week that the so-called race gap for Obama is an age gap in the main.
The numbers show that older Americans are far more hesitant about voting for a black American for president than the rest of the population.
That's consistent with the results that will come out of Florida on Tuesday, where Clinton now is far ahead of Obama.
So don't pigeonhole Barack Obama when you judge the South Carolina results. The man may yet emerge with flying colors. There's a long way to go!
