Have we seen the turning point in this race?
The daily Rasmussen tracking poll certainly suggests so.
It has Barack Obama with a commanding double digits lead over Hillary Clinton, with the electability gap (against McCain) widening as well.
Today’s results show Obama earning support from 49% of Likely Democratic Primary Voters while Clinton attracts 37% (see recent daily numbers). Perhaps the most stunning aspect of the Obama surge is that he now leads 46% to 41% among women. Clinton retains a lead among the narrower subset of white women, but her lead in that vital demographic is down to just three percentage points.
Obama now leads 47% to 44% among white voters and 69% to 10% among African-American voters. Rasmussen Markets data now shows Obama to be a solid favorite to win the nomination. However, while the national data is all moving in Obama’s direction, new state polling data shows Clinton is competitive in Wisconsin’s Primary next Tuesday and holds a significant lead in Ohio’s contest scheduled for March 4.

Dont hold your breath for Clinton wins on March 4th. If the national tide is swinging that much in Obamas direction, Hillary will concede the day after Ohio and Texas and Rhode Island and Vermont refused to bring her back into the game.
And you can cite current state polls from Ohio and texas as much as you want. It wont be close in Ohio and Texas!
