Good news for Obama after clinching the nomination last night. He now leads McCain by six points, 48 to 42.

Some Hillary supporters say they will back McCain:
Twelve percent of Democrats say they will support McCain in the general election. That's higher than the 8 percent of Democrats who defected to President Bush in 2004. Nearly a quarter of Clinton supporters say they will back McCain instead of Obama in the general election.
I actually think 25% isn't too bad considering Hillary hasn't even conceded yet.
Favorability ratings:
Obama has a 41 percent favorable rating - down three percentage points from last month - and a 31 percent unfavorable rating. McCain has a 34 percent favorable rating - up two points from last month - and a 37 percent unfavorable rating.
I am surprised at the favorability ratings for McCain---I've always seen them higher, usually over 50%.
Obama has work to do, but I think this is good news for our nominee!
