Looks like a poll coming out tonight from NYT/CBS is going to be positive for Obama. He is 10 pts. above Clinton in favorability.

This poll has tended to be a bit better for Obama (just like in the general elections, it tends to be a bit better for Dems), but I'll take it. Especially since this will be tomorrow's news.

Voters’ opinions of the top three presidential candidates have shifted significantly over the past two months, according to the latest New York Times/CBS News Poll.

Currently Senator Barack Obama is viewed more favorably than both Senator Hillary Clinton and Senator John McCain among all registered voters. Forty-five percent of voters said they have a favorable opinion of Mr. Obama, while about 35 percent have a favorable view of Mrs. Clinton and 36 percent said the same of Mr. McCain.

Mr. Obama is personally more well-liked than is Mrs. Clinton among those who vote in Democratic contests. Nearly 7 in 10 say they have a favorable opinion of Mr. Obama, the highest rating for him in a New York Times/CBS News poll since the start of the primaries. In contrast, Mrs. Clinton is viewed favorably by 61 percent of the party’s voters, down from 68 percent in December.

Full poll will be out during tonight's news.
