"Obama led Clinton in all Gallup Poll Daily tracking reports from March 9 through March 16, indicating he had a real, albeit slim, advantage in national Democratic preferences over this period. While not statistically significant, Clinton's two percentage point advantage in today's report is a notable shift, particularly in light of the political storm Obama has faced over the past few days concerning controversial political statements made by the former pastor of his Chicago church."

4. New head to head match-ups with polling done during the worst of the Wright crap - Results:

From USA Today/Gallup poll:

Clinton beats McCain 51% to 46%
Obama beats McCain 49% to 47%

"USA TODAY/Gallup Poll: Clinton up 5 points on McCain; Obama up 2
If the election were held today (and yes, we know it won't be), Democratic contender Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton would get 51% of the vote to Republican candidate Sen. John McCain's 46%, the latest USA TODAY/Gallup Poll estimates. In a match-up between Democratic Sen. Barack Obama and McCain, Obama comes out ahead 49%-47%.

Both Democrats have overtaken McCain since the last USA TODAY/Gallup survey. In that Feb. 21-24 poll, McCain led Clinton 50%-46% and he led Obama 48%-47%.

Gallup surveyed 685 "likely" voters across the nation from Friday through Sunday. It says the margin of error on each result is +/- 4 percentage points. That means neither Clinton nor Obama's lead in the new poll is "outside" that margin. Clinton's support could be as low as 47% (because 51-4=47) and McCain's could be as high as 50% (because 46+4=50).

Keep in mind that polls are snapshots of current public opinion, not forecasts of what will happen in November."

8. New Clinton Campaign Theme

"Not Statistically Significant"

replaces

"Abandon All Hope"

9. Yeah, it's yo-yoing. I don't think it will last.

My current prediction is for Obama to back near 50 by Friday. This week is going to be all about the economy.
