PRINCETON, NJ -- Gallup Poll Daily tracking shows that Hillary Clinton now receives 46% of the support of Democrats nationally, compared to 45% for Barack Obama, marking the first time Obama has not led in Gallup's daily tracking since March 18-20.

These results are based on interviewing conducted April 16-18, including two days of interviewing after the contentious Wednesday night debate in Philadelphia and the media focus that followed. Support for Hillary Clinton has been significantly higher in both of these post-debate nights of interviewing than in recent weeks. The two Democratic candidates are now engaged in intensive campaigning leading up to Tuesday's Pennsylvania primary and are under a continual and hot media spotlight, increasing the chances for change in the views of Democrats in the days ahead.

3. This is on the heels of the Newsweek poll

that showed Obama up by 19 points. Today's lesson...polls are flawed.

6. That Newsweek poll is so far off any of the others I think it can be seen as flawed.

11. My position in summed up in two words...

Screw polls.

13. Clinton and Obama are not running against each other in November

and the fewer state primaries and caucuses there are left, the more pointless this becomes.
