Washington- New York Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton has gained a big lead over Illinois Sen. Barack Obama in the USA TODAY/Gallup Poll only one day after the previous poll was taken. Most analysts will agree that the election is not over.

The newest poll included 300 Democrats and 175 independents who are thinking about Democrats in a favorable manner and of the 475 asked about 300 voted Democrat and the rest stayed independent.

“We can do polls all day until we are blue in the face.” Phil Johnston, Democrat supporter said, “Its about who is winning at the end when the fat lady sings.” Johnston later took that comment back as it sounded like he was calling Clinton fat. Crooked Street printed it anyway.

“Size doesn’t matter in these polls.” Sarah Brown, a Republican supporter, “I mean everyone wants to whip out their polls and see how they compare with everyone else. I say put your poll away and let the issues decide the results.”

USA TODAY also took a poll of two people on Saturday which the results will be posted on their website next week due to a delay in counting of the votes. But rumors came out that Obama was taking the lead in that poll 2-0 which is shocking the Clinton camp since it the poll was taken out of a mix of her supporters.

For most of the spring now Clinton has been dancing up and down the Gallup Poll. First she is up and then she’s down, but up until the last poll she had been doing the splits with Obama. On this big stage it will really come down to who can finish the dance on top.
