Both Democratic candidates scored victories in last week's Super Tuesday contests. They and their Republican counterparts face off today in the "Potomac" primaries in Maryland, Virginia and the District of Columbia.

"As Obama has succeeded in some contests, his percentage of the vote has gone up while Sen. Clinton's share of the vote has remained mostly static since before New Hampshire," says Mark Blumenthal, editor of the non-partisan pollster.com

Among Democrats and independents who "lean" Democratic, Obama beats Clinton 47%-44% — the first time the Illinois senator has led the USA TODAY survey

3. I wish..I've been too disappointed

6. agreed but trend lines that go up slowly are a much better

indicator than ones that jump up and down. Steady up up up.

4. I think this primary is going to turn out to be tougher then the GE,

It doesn't look like Clinton's numbers are going to go much lower, but I doubt she will break 48% again.

they have been oversampling the Hillary demos since day one
