Obama’s numbers don’t seem to be moving much at all because of the controversy…

* Among Democratic voters who make $24,000 or less, Obama’s support has dropped three points, from 47%-44%.

* Among Democratic voters with no college education, his support has dropped one point, from 41%-40%.

* Among Democratic voters who say they are worried about money, his support has dropped two points, from 55%-53%.

* Among Democratic voters who say religion is an important part of their lives, his support dropped one point, from 49%-48%.

Also, Gallup’s daily shows a little tightening, but Barack still has a significant lead…

This marks the 10th consecutive day that Obama has held a statistically significant lead over Clinton, easily his best stretch of the campaign. [...] That included a campaign best 11 percentage point lead in Tuesday’s release. Obama’s current margin is down slightly, but still in line with the average 9-point lead in this recent stretch.
