Clinton Way Ahead

Wed., May 1, 1996

New York Daily News

President Clinton surged to his biggest lead yet over his main challenger, Sen. Bob Dole, in polls released Tuesday.

Clinton now boasts a 21-point lead nationally - 58 percent to 37 percent - over the Kansas Republican, according to a CNN/USA Today Gallup Poll.

Nobody expects Clinton’s huge lead to survive through the Nov. 5 election. Even so, Gallup reports that no presidential candidate has ever lost after leading by so much six months before the vote.
