Some interesting data in today's new Gallup poll.
As it turns out, about one in four Democrats since January have switched their support from one candidate to another, with 19% making the switch from Clinton to Obama and only 7% moving in the opposite direction.
This results in a net 12% switch to Obama.

From Gallup:
Roughly one in four Democrats nationally say their preference for whether Hillary Clinton or Barack Obama wins the Democratic presidential nomination has changed at least once since the start of the primary season in January. Most of the converts -- 19% of all Democrats and Democratic leaners -- have moved out of Clinton's ranks and into Obama's, while 7% have taken the reverse path, switching from Obama to Clinton.
According to the March 24-27 Gallup Panel survey, a third of Democrats and independents who lean Democratic say they have consistently preferred Obama for the nomination and another third say they have consistently preferred Clinton, while a total of 26% say they previously supported Clinton or Obama, but now favor the other candidate.
