Gallup: Hillary's National Lead Over Obama Down To Six Points
By Eric Kleefeld - January 30, 2008, 1:17PM
The new Gallup poll shows the national Democratic race might be really tightening — Hillary's lead is down to the single digits. Here are the numbers, compared to their last poll from two days ago:

Clinton 42% (-2)
Obama 36% (+3)
Edwards 12% (-2)
Only a week ago, Hillary was up by 16 points.

Not that I believe in polls anymore. Actually, I don't, but I know that some people here are interested in them.

1. Well, now all people will vote for Obama. Oh, the triumph.

2. No, I know they won't.

I think we all know that we're pretty entrenched in who we're supporting. Nobody here is really going to change anybody else's mind. We just like to argue and sometimes it gets nasty.

4. Within MOE

Let's not clebrate, or worry depending on fave, until there is a clear trend in more than one set of polls over a prolonged peiod which would show a change in frontrunner status.

This falls down on all fronts.
