"As the end of the primary season draws near, Barack Obama is the clear favorite of Democratic voters for their party's presidential nomination. He currently holds a wide 54% to 41% lead over Hillary Clinton.

Previously, Obama had led McCain by modest margins in three Pew surveys conducted since late February.
Obama's strong lead over Clinton reflects his more favorable image among voters. The balance of voter opinion about Obama has consistently been more positive than for Clinton.

Over this period, unfavorable views of McCain have risen as well. " Source: Pew Research Center for People and the Press
