1. kick

[Nia Zuri]

2. Here we are seeing the full impact of bitter gate

I expect to see the difference widen again given Hillary's full on negative attacks of the past few days.

[tigereye]

24. a lot of people here in PA thought bittergate had little or no impact...

Obama has been sending out a lot of anti-Hillary mailers as well - I've seen quite a few in my mailbox...

3. So far so good...

:hide:

[olkaz]

4. Wow, that is some serious wishful thinking.

Keep it up. I love it.

[PBS Poll-435]

6. It is tongue-in-cheek,

But I can HOPE!

[olkaz]

7. Oh jeez.

I missed "Flamebait Edition".

You got me.

[dchill]

16. I bet you tell a really good fish story, too.

:jeebus:

[PBS Poll-435]

18. Joke!

Just a joke.

[Coexist]

5. I expected a hiccup, but it will swing back around.

[melody]

8. That's a one point deviation -- you have to be joking

Ask anyone with experience in statistics. That sort of thing happens all the time. It's not indicative of anything but the aberration of number-crunching. I said the same thing two weeks ago when someone was touting an "Obama up by two" poll.

Such a tiny variation is meaningless. It certainly doesn't speak to a trend.

[PetraPooh]

11. Exactly, it is within eom, I'm sure.

[dchill]

22. Error of margin?

:shrug:
:hi:

[melody]

25. EOM = MOE n/t

[dchill]

26. STOP = POTS : GOD = DOG n/t

[melody]

28. MADAM I'M ADAM = MADAM I'M ADAM n/t

[dchill]

30. BOSNIA PAIN SOB

BOSNIA GASPS AGAIN SOB
:shrug:

[melody]

31. There's a shelling joke in there somewhere lol

I surrender ... you win.

[dchill]

34. Indeed!

But I have to admit, I cheated. :shrug:

37. OOOOPS! My bad. Can spell, but typo and didn't proofread.

[malik flavors]

9. I don't think that's today's official poll

[writes3000]

14. Yeah, it's not on the main page. Weird. n/t

[backscatter712]

10. I don't think it's Bittergate.

Bittergate's already run its course - we saw its effects in the polls yesterday and Wednesday - no effect.

We might well be seeing the first signs of the ABC "debate". It does look like a few people got fooled by the Smear Obama Show, but it's too early to tell what the full effects will be, and if Obama's campaign can successfully counter.

I am optimistic in that I believe that most people weren't fooled, and as more facts come out and the truth sinks in, I'll bet that Hillary might be hurting from this.

13. Polls in Pennsylvania show the gap closing

Dont read too much into this poll.

[gateley]

12. The important thing is they both lead McCain --

albeit only by a point or two, but once we get a nom and s/he turns the attention to McC, he's toast.

[BklnDem75]

15. Oh I see what you did!

http://www.gallup.com/poll/106594/Gallup-Daily-Obama-49-Clinton-42.aspx

Gallup Daily: Obama 49%, Clinton 42%

There you go. That other poll was marked for the 16th. This one is more current. Don't worry, Obama has a steady lead. :)

[thewiseguy]

17. Thats from yesterday

[BklnDem75]

20. My mistake

http://www.gallup.com/poll/106630/Gallulp-Daily-Clinton-Moves-Within-Points-Obama.aspx

That would be a better link. I missed it the first time.

[meow mix]

19. wow, a regular fluctuation repeats itself again, for the 50th time

all this does it validate the results further..

[kwenu]

21. You do realize this is a useless poll when it comes to nomination fight right.

[Robbins]

23. Gallup

Basicly 2 points changed between them.Not a lot to get worried about.Both still have a narrow lead over Mccain.

[hell-bent]

36. Yes, you are correct.

It will be the SDs that will decide who is the best candidate. There are no rules on how they must vote. Caucus delegates will not mean jack shit. Sorry. Let's not change the rules in mid-stream,right?

[GoesTo11]

27. How many primaries does HRC need to lose by 3% to catch up in delegates?

[Political Heretic]

29. That's an expected bump after debate, and I'm glad to see both candidates up against McCain

Though I fear it doesn't mean much this early. As you can tell I've turned more of my attention to the general now.

[Tarheel_Dem]

32. PH, I've noticed a trend where Obama's numbers go up on weekends,

but as the week plays out, the numbers tighten. What, in your opinion, is significant about weekends? :shrug:

[Political Heretic]

33. I have no idea. :) Weekends are low media saturation times, but

who knows really. :shrug:

[hell-bent]

35. Rasmussen has BO at a 2 point spread.
