CA Poll: Obama Outperforms Clinton

In a new poll by the Public Policy Institute of California (May 12-18, 1,086 LV, MoE +/- 3%), Obama's support in California appears to be growing, as Clinton's seems to be shrinking. Clinton won the February 5 Democratic primary by 8 points, but now more than 50% hold an unfavorable opinion of her, as they do of McCain as well. However, 59% said they had a favorable opinion of Obama.
