If you were excited about yesterday's bump....check out this beautiful trend! Obama is clearly surging. It seems to be the effect of Hillary's Tuzla Tall Tale shredding whatever credibility she had left, as well as the media narrative changing away from it being "a horse race" toward reflecting reality and nicknaming Hillary "Tonya Harding".

Update: Gallup just added their analysis.
Obama last held a significant lead over Clinton in March 11-13 polling, just before Wright's controversial sermons came to light and put his former parishioner on the defensive. Clinton seemed to benefit from the Wright flap, moving into the lead in two consecutive days of tracking releases (based on March 16-18 and March 17-19 polling). That lead quickly dissipated and the two candidates retreated into a statistical dead heat, where they have been for much of the recent campaign. (To view the complete trend since Jan. 2, 2008, click here.)
Obama's current 8-point advantage ties his largest lead of the Gallup Poll Daily tracking program, along with a 50% to 42% showing in Feb. 28-March 1 polling. Obama clearly has weathered the Wright storm, while the dark clouds have shifted to Clinton over whether she has exaggerated her foreign policy credentials. This week she has had to defend her repeated claim that she came under sniper fire while visiting Bosnia as first lady, which news video clearly disputed.
