Wednesday’s Polls: Clinton Maintains National Lead Over Obama

CampaignDiaries describes Hillary Clinton’s comeback this way:

"Monday's polls hinted at a Clinton comeback in Ohio and in Texas, which prepared us for what came yesterday night. Now, surveys are registering Clinton's rise outside of Ohio and Texas, suggesting that her improved stance was not just related to her campaigning in those two states and that Democratic voters might have some buyer's remorse naturally:

"First, Gallup's daily tracking poll has Clinton up for the first time since Feb. 20th. She is leading 48% to 44%, and Gallup specifies that this is entirely due to interviews taken before the Ohio and Texas results were known. Clinton's national rise, says Gallup, started in Sunday -- just when polls started detecting some movement in OH and TX.

"Rasmussen confirms Gallup's findings, and now shows Clinton leading 48% to 43%. This is the third day Clinton is up -- and increasing her lead -- after trailing her rivals for 3 weeks.

"A PPP poll from North Carolina shows Obama ahead 48% to 44% against Clinton. Most recent polls from the state (including SUSA and Eton University) have shown Obama up by double-digits in this state, which votes on May 6th, but Clinton take comfort in the fact that all does not appear lost in at least one Southern state."
