National Polls Movee Back Toward Clinton - openleft.com

[exchange77]

The Gallup and Rasmussen tracking polls have both moved back toward Clinton today (yesterday's numbers in parenthesis):

Clinton: 46.5% (43.5%)
Obama: 39.0% (39.0%)

This could be due to any number of factors, including the debate, the inevitable fading bounce, superior Clinton campaigning, or even the demographics of Friday polling. (Considering the age gap between Clinton and Obama supporters, who do you think is more likely to be at home on a Friday night?) Whatever the cause might actually be, it could not come at a better time for Clinton, since Obama had pulled to within just two or three points in the days immediately after the departure of Edwards from the campaign. It also seems to be rippling into state level polls, as Rasmussen also shows Clinton leading in Missouri by nine, and in Alabama by five (Alabama is a must-win for Obama, and it should be noted that the previous Rasmussen poll of Alabama put Clinton up 15).

As far as big momentum changers in the final days go, it does not appear that either Edwards or Gore will endorse. If Clinton does win the nomination, it will be despite established media, progressive media, and conservative media, all of whom have given more favorable coverage to Obama. It is impressive that she has been able to turn back Obama's momentum, despite having comparatively few allies in virtually every media outlet
