The momentum is clearly on Obama's side. Clinton's support seem's stagnant. The below is what Gallup said:

The latest Democratic numbers show Hillary Clinton with a 43% to 39% advantage over Barack Obama among Democratic voters nationwide. That 4-point lead is the narrowest since early January, and it is a continuation of gains by Obama. The impact of John Edwards' exit from the Democratic race is less clear. Wednesday night's numbers (the first with Edwards excluded from the ballot) show no clear indication that either candidate is benefiting disproportionately. Clinton and Obama will debate in California tonight, which could affect Democrats' support for the two candidates going into the weekend before Super Tuesday's primaries and caucuses. -- Jeff Jones

methoddology: Gallup is interviewing 1,000 U.S. adults nationwide each day during 2008. The results reported here are based on combined data from Jan. 28-30, 2008, including interviews with 1,020 Republican and Republican-leaning voters and 1,286 Democratic and Democratic-leaning voters. For results based on these samples, the maximum margin of sampling error is ±3 percentage points. In addition to sampling error, question wording and practical difficulties in conducting surveys can introduce error or bias into the findings of public opinion polls.

I don't believe it.  No matter how hard the media trys to jamp him down our throats.

Poll was taken on JAN 28-30TH tHIS IS A ROLLING 3 DAY POLL OR TRACKING POLL.

Tomorrow you will see the number's from Jan-29-31st.

Hillary Clinton is under an unprecedented assault by people with an unknown agenda. What we do know is that they are totally capable of abandoning democrats during the GE.

it is almost impossible for the msm not swing poll numbers when they move together.

BUT

I think the undecideds and many who are not likely voters disporportionately go towards Hillary.

You have to know that it is 100% easier to be for Obama than Hillary right now.

Take a look at the politicians who endorse.  Obama supporters get royal treatment.

This carries over to the public.  It will be defeated by tues. but it is real today:

for example:

if ted kennedy had endorsed hillary:

"Look at the old democratic party with their last gasps"

but

kennedy endorses Obama,

"the torch has been passed"

I kid you you not.

and do you notice no shots at Kennedy from the right? about chappaquiddic? about womanizing? about drunkenness? old-fashioned?

I'm still going for the knockout on Tuesday.

"Hillary Clinton is under an unprecedented assault by people with an unknown agenda. What we do know is that they are totally capable of abandoning democrats during the GE."

I assume that you're talking about the punditocracy here?  If so, I would caution against approaching all news stories with the axiom that the authors/editors have a hidden agenda which is somehow counter to your life philosophy.  Remember, Obama also has a lot of support within the Democratic party by people who absolutely will not abandon Progressive principles in the general election.

Yes, do watch out- the Obama people have their "hit" pieces timed to work out precisely around these few days before Super Tuesday-  Wal-Mart- Pardons, etc., it's been planned this way and goodness knows what they will try to spring this weekend.  They can't fight fair and stick to the issues because he can't win debating policy with Hillary Clinton so they saturate the media with everything other than policy.

is still so bullish on clinton at 62 to win dem nom.

this is one of the few times it seems to be a market rather than people betting based on the news coverage.

I'm going to monitor it.

I expected intrade to be clinton 52, obama 48.

I believe that Hillary will win in a blow-out on Tuesday.

The numbers out of Florida--the most populous and diverse of all states thus far--were devastating to Obama.

And this after a week of anti-Clinton fervor and Obama praise.

Hillary swept all demographics across the boards, and these were real people, not poll numbers, who knew full well who they were voting for and why.

That was the real national "poll," and one need go no further.  Obama is now the candidate of race, and that is lethal going forward.

From the beginning, Obama was the tool of the anti-Clinton MSM.  They desperately wanted to destroy the Clintons--dynamite them out of the party; hurt them from within.

Obama was the Trifecta for the GOP: a Clinton-hating and Reagan-loving African-American who would:

1) destroy the Clintons;

2) turn the Democratic Party toward Reagan talking points;

3) either guarantee the presidency to Bush-loving McCain or, if indeed elected, govern as a Reagan and Clinton-hating Democrat.  If McCain were elected, that would mean more years of Bush policies; if Obama, in the guise of a Democrat, the shattering of both the old Democratic Party and the government itself--assuring a loss and many more years of Republican rule.

But: Michigan and Florida, the most populous states and homes of bedrock Democrats, gave Obama a resounding no.

They are not to be counted because they are not in the Obama narrative.  Or in Howard Dean's calendar narrative for Obama.

It requires Ted and Caroline Kennedy, the entire MSM, most of the print and remaining broadcast media, hundreds of millions from Oprah and other weird fundraisers, and lying pollsters (yes, as before New Hampshire, the pollsters are now LYING) to collectively attempt to destroy the Clintons this Tuesday.

All the Clintons have all the real Democratic voters--like in Michigan and Florida.

Unless the actual polling places have been bought by Obama money, expect, like Florida, a Clinton blow-out.

We bedrock Democrats LOVE the Clintons, and hate Obama and all his bottom kissers in the MSM and blogosphere.

The day he is politically gone will be the beginning of real hope and change for our country.

Election 2008: California Democratic Presidential Primary
California: Clinton 43% Obama 40%
Wednesday, January 30, 2008

The latest Rasmussen Reports telephone survey in California shows Hillary Clinton with a very narrow three-percentage point lead over Barack Obama. The survey was conducted in the hours immediately following Florida's Presidential Primary and before John Edwards dropped out of the race.

Two weeks ago, Clinton led Obama by five percentage points in California.

The survey found Edwards with 9% of the vote while 4% said they would vote for some other candidate and another 4% were not sure.

Obama had a narrow 43% to 41% advantage among the party's liberal voters while Clinton held a 45% to 35% edge among moderate voters.

Obama held a three-point lead among white voters in the state while Clinton had a twenty-seven point lead among Hispanic voters.

Clinton trailed by eight points among men but led by ten among women.

Obama is viewed favorably by 83% of California's Democratic Primary Voters, Clinton by 79%.

Sixty-nine percent (69%) of the state's voters were certain they had settled on their final choice. That meant nearly a third could still change their mind, a figure that grew when Edwards left the race.

Forty-six percent (46%) said the top voting issue is the economy while 29% mentioned the War in Iraq. Clinton led by fifteen among those who view the economy as the highest priority. Obama led by eight among those who view the War as the top voting issue.

A Rasmussen Reports analysis of the Democratic race notes that "The numbers still favor Clinton. But, as every sports fan knows, sometimes the numbers don't matter. Sometimes things just fall into place for an upset. More often than not, the underdog comes up a bit short--but not always."

Clinton continues to hold a modest lead over Obama in the Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll.

My husband and I have between us 146 years' experience watching election (s) coverage.  We have never witnessed anything to even remotely compare with the media's abuse of Hillary Clinton.  Neither of us agree with all of Clinton's tactics, but we think of all the candidates she has by far the best "equipment" to lead this country through a more dangerous time than any since WWII, both in economics and the radical Islamic movement, in nuclear proliferation, and in the global climate crisis.

Why isn't the media asking hard questions of Obama?  What exactly are his programs and how will he pay for them?  How does he intend to address the world economic downturn?  What exactly will his foreign policy consist of?  How will he treat the Middle East and the Israeli/Palestinian crisis differently from his predecessors?  How does his health care plan avoid the interference of insurance companies since it does not cover everyone?

Is inspiration, and the hope that Republicans will cooperate (!) enough to deserve the presidency?
