Newsweek Poll: Obama 51% McCain 36%

CNN's Jack Cafferty wanted to talk about the bounce Obama got in the polls taking the lead over John McCain rather than the new seal unveiled by the Obama campaign that resembles the Great Seal of the United States...

We see reason enough for both... it's amazing what and who you find when searching for polling results

Update

Obama widens lead over McCain: Newsweek poll
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Democratic presidential hopeful Barack Obama has opened up a double-digit lead over Republican John McCain two weeks after he clinched the nomination, a new poll published on Friday showed.

The nationwide poll conducted by Newsweek showed Obama leading McCain by a margin of 51-36 percent, indicating that he might have got a bounce from his recent primary victory over Hillary Clinton.

Newsweek said the survey of 1,010 adults nationwide on June 18 and 19, 2008 has a margin of error of 4 points.

Obama's edge in the latest poll is larger than in other recent surveys. A Reuters/Zogby poll released on Wednesday found Obama had a only a 5-point lead.

Obama was tied at 46 percent with McCain in a previous Newsweek poll completed in late May, when he was still battling Clinton for the nomination, Newsweek said.

Play of the Day: Obama debuts new seal
By NEDRA PICKLER – 2 hours ago

CHICAGO (AP) — For anyone trying to picture Barack Obama as president, his campaign offered a visual aid.

A new seal made its debut on Obama's podium Friday as he held a round-table discussion with Democratic governors. The seal, with a blue background and an eagle in the center clutching arrows and an olive branch, might remind some of the presidential version.

But on closer look, the seal is full of symbols representing Obama's campaign of change.
