Gallup Daily: Tracking Election 2008Based on polling conducted Feb. 17-19, 2008USA Election 2008 Gallup Daily Americas Northern America PRINCETON, NJ -- The latest Gallup Poll Daily tracking update finds Barack Obama with a five-percentage point lead, 47% to 42%, over Hillary Clinton among Democratic voters nationwide.

These results are based on interviewing conducted Feb. 17-19, 2008, mostly before the results of Tuesday's primaries were known. Obama won Wisconsin and Hawaii, and in recent days has emerged as the national leader in Gallup Poll Daily tracking. He held a significant lead in four of the past five releases with the exception of the Feb. 16-18 release, which showed Clinton and Obama in a virtual tie.

5. polls vary in results and underlying reality fluctuates ...

But the campaign has clearly shifted. Obama is now not only the front-runner, but something closer to presumptive nominee.

Question -- are we going to see a return of the same 'density' and frequency (and oodles of recommendations, swarms of protestation) of Obama-bashing threads as before WI? If they abate, how much and how soon?
