[QUOTE]Originally posted by Marc Washington: [QB] Monday, February 4, 2008 CAMPAIGN NEWS Obama Closes On Clinton In National Polls As the candidates head into Tuesday's de facto national primary, four new polls out in the last 24 hours show Barack Obama challenging Hillary Clinton for the lead nationally. USA Today reports, "The Democratic presidential race has become a cliffhanger as a new USA TODAY/Gallup Poll on Sunday showed...Obama wiping out...Clinton's double-digit national lead just before coast-to-coast contests on Tuesday." The two "stood at Clinton 45%, Obama 44% in the latest snapshot of the volatile race." ABC World News reported, "Tonight, with one full day of campaigning left, we have a new national poll showing a very tight Democratic race. ... Hillary Clinton now holds just a four-point edge over Barack Obama, 47-43%." The AP notes a CBS News poll finds Clinton and Obama tied at 41 percent each. A Pew Research Center poll shows Clinton with a wider lead, up 46%-38% over Obama. However, in a similar poll taken in mid-January, Clinton led 46%-31%. With Clinton's Lead Eroding, Race Seen As Long-Term Affair Coverage of Super Tuesday portrayed Clinton's lead as shrinking nationwide in the face of intense and effective campaigning by Obama and his surrogates. All three networks led with Super Tuesday coverage. ABC World News reported, "We may actually not get an answer for weeks if not months," to the question of who will win the Democratic nomination. ABC's George Stephanopoulos said, "It could go on for a very long time if Obama upsets Hillary Clinton in two states especially, Missouri and California." The New York Times reports Clinton and Obama are "enmeshed in a tough national fight, illustrated by polls showing the race had tightened both nationally and in key states voting on Tuesday where Mrs. Clinton had once enjoyed a comfortable lead. ... Aides to Mrs. Clinton and Mr. Obama said Sunday that they now believed that their contest, unlike the Republicans', could extend well beyond the multistate contests on Tuesday." The Washington Times reports that the Clinton and Obama "campaigns are preparing for a protracted battle, looking ahead to contests in Louisiana and Maine and the Mid-Atlantic region on Feb. 12. 'This is a hunt for delegates,' said Clinton strategist Mark Penn. 'We're going right through to the convention.' Obama spokesman Robert Gibbs agreed: 'What everyone once thought was going to end on Feb. 5 is really just going to be the next hurdle.'" The New York Sun reports that "For Mrs. Clinton and Mr. Obama, there are relatively few opportunities to run up the delegate score. Their best bets are likely in their home states: New York and Illinois. Mrs. Clinton's lead in the Empire State is nearly 20 points, according to the Real Clear Politics average, while a Chicago Tribune/WGN poll yesterday showed Mr. Obama ahead by 31 points in Illinois."
