1. Just in time for Super Tuesday n/t

[Alexander]

This is good news, but remember national polls don't mean much.

It's the individual state polls that matter. Thankfully Obama is also doing well in those.

2. Looks like most of Edwards people went to Obama.

11. I Agree

He represents change and Clinton represents status quo as evidenced by her votes regarding Iraq.

Honestly, I think she fell right into the pawns of the right by pandering to them with her 'strong on defense' stand.

3. Hold on to your daily tracking report.

Because it's all over excpet for Candy crowley singing.

4. That's quite a two week climb

[Radical Activist]

9. It is a trend.

I don't put much faith in individual polls but trends are worth looking at. The one constant trend for the past year (nationally and in the early primary states) is that the more people get to know both candidates, the more they support Obama and Hillary's numbers go down.

5. Wow

The polls are all over the place. :crazy:

Tuesday will be a real nail biter. I'm glad I already voted. I'm going to keep the TV off and go do something fun with a friend.

I sort of hope Mitwit wins CA. Make old John work a bit harder, get more tiered and stress out and say more stupid things.

6. THE CLINTON SURGE

uh not so much

[calteacherguy]

7. Young people go out more on Friday nights. That was the "surge." nt

[Bread and Circus]

8. What's very interesting to me is that Clinton has not been able to move her needle much at all...

[calteacherguy]

10. That's right. She's reached a ceiling. nt

[Radical Activist]

12. She reached a ceiling nearly a year ago.

Her numbers haven't gone up significantly for the entire campaign. It should be a strong lesson for her chances in the general election.

[fightthegoodfightnow]

13. Another Good Point

She's not winning the left and she's not winning the right (outside of Ann Coulter).

[cloudythescribbler]

14. So the post-debate Clinton "surge" turned into the "Clinton blip"?

[dailykoff]

15. Followed by the Clinton crash.

And not a moment too soon!
