June 18, 2007

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - New York Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton has moved to a double-digit lead over her closest Democratic presidential rival, Illinois Sen. Barack Obama, according to a USAToday/Gallup poll released on Monday.

Among Republicans, the new poll showed former Tennessee Sen. Fred Thompson in second place behind former New York Mayor Rudolph Giuliani and slightly ahead of third-place Arizona Sen. John McCain.

Polling data showed Clinton leading Obama 39 percent to 26 percent in a Democratic primary race that does not include former Vice President Al Gore. With Gore in the match-up, Clinton leads Obama 33 percent to 21 percent.

An earlier USAToday/Gallup survey conducted June 1-3 had put Obama 1 percentage point ahead of Clinton, at 30 percent to 29 percent.

Gore, who lost the 2000 election to President George W. Bush, has neither entered the race nor ruled out running.

1. Unfortunately, another poll shows she

can't beat Romney, Guiliani, or McCain. One the other hand, Obama beats all three.

6. That's Because They Didn't Poll This House

From which there would have been four more votes, not a one of them going to Ms. Clinton, thank you very much.
