Rasmussen's latest poll of NH has Obama +5 over McCain.
5/21/08 500 Likely Voters: McCain43, Obama, 48

This is the first time since February that Obama has polled higher than McCain and represents a 15 point swing in one month.

Clinton is polling above McCain for the first time since February as well. A 13 point swing gets her +10 over McCain.

There are a couple of other interesting things in the poll. Twice as many feel Clinton should drop out than Obama. 40% v 20% (question 11 & 12). And in who would do better against McCain it is Obama 41%, Clinton 42%, 17% Not Sure.

I feel a bit better than I did last month when I proclaimed We need a nominee. We do still need a definitive nominee, but at least it seems we are trending the right way.
