This is somewhat of a bummer, although I am mighty suspicious of Gallup now after seeing yesterday's post on Talking Points Memo that suggested that Clinton magically does better in the middle of the week.
Today's Gallup poll shows that Obama has lost some ground. He lost 2 points and Hillary gained 2 points. His lead is now only 4 points (O49 C45). I suspect his lead from Monday was partly due to fallout from Hillary's Bosnia lie. They will probably settle back into a tie which is how it's mostly been.
That said, the new SUSA poll for Pennsylvania shows him really making progress there, which is where it counts. And he is up pretty big in North Carolina. So basically, we're right on track. In all honesty, Gallup was very useful these past few days, in helping to establish the narrative that Wright hasn't wounded Obama in any major way. So...Thanks Gallup!
