Gallup: Hillary Closes The Gap

By Justin Gardner | Related entries in 2008 Election, Barack, Democrats, Hillary, Polls

Big swing in today’s Gallup…

Obama enjoyed a statistically significant lead in the prior four Gallup Poll Daily election tracking releases, covering March 25-27 through March 28-30 polling. His lead grew as large as 10 percentage points.

Today’s three-day rolling average, based on March 29-31 polling, shows an improvement for Clinton, and echoes the general pattern that has been observed in tracking since Super Tuesday, with neither candidate able to sustain a significant lead in preferences.

Obama’s four-day run with a significant lead was the longest lead during this time span.

It’ll be interesting to see if Hillary closes the gap more tomorrow.

Pollster.com already determined that Hillary does better towards the middle of the week on Gallup polls and worse in Rasmussen polls, while Obama does well in the end of the weeks in Gallup and worse in Rasmussen

Net net, they are tied. All we are seeing is statistical fluctuations. Unless something comes out of left field, nothing is going to change this dynamic until we have another primary. Maybe a gaffe in the debate could move this meaningfully, but I dont’ believe that is going to happen – at this point, they are both too good at this.
