16. It's going to come down to who the undecided and independents break for.....
I'm guessing Obama.

3. Could that be the Edwards bump?
I'd have to see something with more detailed date information, but that upward swing might be the result of John Edwards dropping out of the race. Obviously there are other factors here to control for (different message emphasis, debate performance, media coverage, organization of the campaigns) but that might be a big part of it.

4. Looks like a trend: first Gore, now Edwards supporters, and I suspect undecideds
going Obama's way.

11. It's certainly reassuring that both O and C beat both repigs. nt

8. Looking at the US and CA graphics, I'd say Hillary can win on Tuesday,
but she can't win ultimately.

12. Causes anyone? It's great news, but what exactly is the reason?
Are John Edwards guys voting on issues with Obama? They should, but most projections put us at 60% of his voters and not all.

Is it the independent vote coming out?

Is it the sudden burst of advertisizing paying off?

I don't get it... something about it seems awfully funny. Something in my gut tells me that Obama's always had more popularity than he appeared to in these polling projections.

Is anyone with me on this?

13. Hillary's support was largely name recognition?

14. I think it's the undecideds swinging O's way. Consider this: if someone's
undecided with Hillary in the race, that means they don't like her. She is a known entity - there was no other reason for not going her way a long time ago. The only reason someone may have been undecided is that 1) they didn't like H, and 2) were waiting to see who this O guy is and can he do it.

Yes he can, apparently.

15. Hillary has flatlined...it will be hard for her to get more support
That's what that trend looks like to me anyways. The good thing for Hillary though is that those who support her probably REALLY support her, and probably will come out to vote in larger numbers than those recently in love with Obama.
