[catagory5]

The thing I find interseting is Clinton strong showing with Democratic Leaning Independents.

PRINCETON, NJ -- The impact of Tuesday's primary and caucus elections on national Democratic preferences for the nomination seems to be a swing toward Barack Obama, although it is not enough to make him the party's front-runner.

According to Gallup Poll Daily tracking interviews conducted Feb. 5-7, Hillary Clinton now leads Obama by seven percentage points among national Democratic voters (including Democratic-leaning independents), 49% to 42%. This is down from her 11-point lead in Feb. 4-6 tracking (51% vs. 40%), and from her 13-point lead in Feb. 3-5 tracking. The Feb.5-7 three-day average includes two days of interviewing conducted after Super Tuesday. An analysis of day-by-day percentages shows that Clinton maintained a modest lead among national Democratic voters on Wednesday and Thursday.

Current national Democratic preferences for the Democratic Party's presidential nomination are similar to where they stood at the end of January and into the first few days of February.

1. February may not be so good, but the proportional distribution will help.

In March, she seals the deal. :party:
