Hil-mentum?

Today's updates from both Rasmussen and Gallup show a sudden reversal of the recent trend of Obama gaining ground nationally on Clinton. Here's Gallup's chart:

I guess a bunch of those undecided former Edwards voters suddenly finished their soul-searching and decided to go with Hilldog?

Meanwhile, CNN is reporting that John Edwards will not endorse before Tuesday. (Hat tip: Brian Foster.)

What was interesting in both Gallup and Rasmussen is that Obama did not go down in either of the polls....but Hillary gained in both...thus seeming to confirm that more of the undecideds (or formerly Edwards) were moving her way...

What gives though with Gallup and Rasmussenon the Republican side? One has McCain up by 20%...the other has it tied!!!

"...former Edwards voters suddenly finished their soul-searching..."

Came up empty, did they? Always sad when a search Fails like that ;} They'll have to designate it a Recovery operation now :> but I bet Pastor Huck could help with that / he knows Somebody who Restoreth the soul :)

By deciding to vote for Hillary? Heh. You said it, not me. :P

Just a pre-emptive strike on any Drudge-Zogby polls you intend to post....

Zogby's been the second-most unreliable poll this cycle (behind ARG). It was among the worst miscalculations of NH-Dems (-14), had MI-GOP way wrong (-11), trailed badly for SC-GOP (-5), projected the badly in NV-Dem (ahead of only ARG)... you can get the picture.

Now, I admit that some of its polls might be right, and that everyone else could be outlying. But given the other MO and NJ polls, among others released today, directly contradicting the Drudge-fest Zogby polls... and given that Mason-Dixon, this season's second-most reliable pollster, shows CA Clinton +9, NJ Clinton +7, MO Clinton +6... I would give those Zogby results pause. (Of course, Drudge loves Obama, so I would never expect him to do so.)
