Gallup: Hillary's National Lead Over Obama Down To Six Points
By Eric Kleefeld - January 30, 2008, 1:17PM

The new Gallup poll shows the national Democratic race might be really tightening — Hillary's lead is down to the single digits. Here are the numbers, compared to their last poll from two days ago:

Clinton 42% (-2)
Obama 36% (+3)
Edwards 12% (-2)
Only a week ago, Hillary was up by 16 points.

We'll find out soon enough what the impact of Edwards' withdrawal will be, and also where the remaining undecideds will end up.

why would you move from Edwards to Obama?

[noa]

why would you move from Edwards to Hillary?

[HonestChieffan]

Im not I was asking to understand why that would be..

[noa]

Well, Edwards seemed to be running against the status quo and the establishment with his rhetoric of populism and standing up to the moneyed powers in DC, and between the two, Obama is less status quo (and yes, I am aware that he is a Senator in D.C. and probably has many contacts w/lobbyists and other 'special interests).

Bill Clinton's head is going to explode if Hillary doesn't get the nomination.

[HolmeZz]

why would you move from Edwards to Hillary?

He has this retarded idea that most Democrats don't like Obama. From everything I've seen, Hillary supporters are basically hardline Democrats who'll support the nominee regardless of who wins and Obama supporters are pretty much drawn to him as a candidate and not interested in having to potentially vote for Hillary in the General.

What's going to happen to Mrs. Edwards' delegates now?

[noa]

What's going to happen to My Hero Edwards' delegates now?

From Politico:

He's got 62 of them, according to CNN, and the Democratic Convention Watch blog has this explanation on where they'll go:

First, all of his superdelegates go back into the no endorsement pool. Second, his 4 delegates from New Hampshire and his 8 delegates from South Carolina will go to the convention as Uncommitted. And finally, his delegates from Iowa don't exist anymore, but will be replaced with Clinton or Obama delegates. That's because delegates to the national convention haven't actually been picked yet in these two states. There are Congressional District and state conventions still to come, and all his delegates to the Congressional District conventions will have to vote for one of the remaining candidates to the state level convention.

UPDATE: Kornacki says he's suspending his campaign, not formally withdrawing, which means he'll maintain a block of delegates.

What's going to happen to Mrs. Edwards' delegates now?

They are Ron Paul supporters who are now free to vote their conscience at the convention if the GOP fails to nominate him.

I hear the Paul campaign has bought the former Ruby Ridge compound, where they are training guerrilla delegates in burned out buildings and a hollowed-out airliner fuselage.
