Gallup -Clinton 52% Obama 39% /RCP Average Included

[DemocratSinceBirth]

PRINCETON, NJ -- The increase in support for Hillary Clinton at the national level that Gallup saw in interviewing conducted Sunday and Monday continued in interviewing Tuesday night. Gallup Poll Daily tracking conducted Feb. 3-5 now includes three consecutive days in which Clinton has done well, giving her a 13-percentage point lead over Barack Obama, 52% to 39%.

Democratic preferences in Tuesday night's interviews -- mostly conducted before Super Tuesday election results were known -- were similar to Sunday and Monday night's interviews. Gallup Poll Daily tracking will not begin to reflect the impact of Tuesday's voting on national Democratic preferences until tomorrow.

Obama had been competitive with Clinton in interviews conducted Feb. 2 (as well as earlier last week), but those interviews have now dropped out of Gallup's continuous three-day rolling average reporting.

1. these things have changed too quickly to be taken seriously, just like Zogby's CA polls.

4. In Gallup's Seventy Year History I Don't Think They Have Ever Been As Spetacularly Wrong As Zomby

2. These don't mean anything. Especially when you consider

this is all about individual states and delegates now.

But I understand they make people feel good. But bottom line. Its useless, unless its a state poll

3. Who cares!!

This isn't a national race anymore, it is a state by state race.

How did those polls that showed a big national lead for HRC turnout? Hillary: 50, Obama: 49

5. Obama has been running a dirty campaign by proxy

letting others do his dirty work while he says nothing. Gw Bush did the same in 2000 and 2004, basically saying nothing while the media did his dirty work for him with a frenzy of attacks. I believe all of this negativity on Obamas' behalf is starting to blow back at him.

8. Most likely it is.

Does the Democratic party want their own GW Bush?

6. I think that's impressive for Hillary but What's weird to me is that

a lot of people have already actually voted. I haven't crunched the numbers but with over half the states and the most of the most populous states out of the way, it seems like the "on the ballot" split is much closer than that.

Maybe Hillary is getting her big break (it took long enough). However, Super Tuesday seemed to argue in every way - deadlock.

It's almost as if a national poll no longer has meaning give over half the nation has actually voted or least had the chance to vote.

7. The Only Utility I See For Nat'l Polls Now

Is they give some indication of what the Democratic electorate wants in what is essentially a tied primary...
