I wonder how the percentages would change if the press ever explained to them that the "gas tax holiday" proposed by Clinton will do nothing to lower gas prices?

Barack Obama has a 14-point lead in the final poll before today's primary.

According to a two-day tracking poll of 643 likely primary election voters by Zogby International, Obama had 51 percent, followed by Hillary Clinton at 37 percent. Four percent said they were backing someone else.

Recent polls had shown a much narrower race, but Zogby also pushed undecided voters to commit to a candidate, which may account for the difference.

The poll predicts African-American turnout to be around 32 percent. Zogby also noted that Obama did even better among the 30 percent in the survey who had already cast ballots at early voting sites, winning them 57 to 34 percent.

The live operator poll was conducted on May 4-5. It has a margin of error of plus or minus 3.9 percentage points.
