Days after becoming his party's presumptive nominee and receiving an endorsement from his chief rival, Hillary Clinton, Democrat Barack Obama has opened the general election campaign with a six-point edge over Republican John McCain, according to the latest NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll.
Obama leads McCain among registered voters, 47 to 41 percent, which is outside the poll's margin of error. In the previous NBC/Journal survey, released in late April, Obama was ahead by three points, 46-43 percent.
