Gallup: Obama Up 8 Pts

With due respect to our colleague Mark Blumenthal of Pollster.com, who has wisely urged caution in reading too much into Gallup's daily tracking polls, here's the latest for those of you who need a numbers fix:

Barack Obama 50%
Hillary Clinton 42%

Gallup notes that Obama's 8-point advantage matches his largest lead of the tracking program, a 50% to 42% showing in Feb. 28-March 1 polling. It appears that Obama battled back effectively after the Rev. Jeremiah Wright saga, while Clinton's numbers might still be suffering as a result of the Bosnia story.

Meanwhile, John McCain leads both Dems:

McCain 48%
Clinton 44%

McCain 46%
Obama 44%
