14. I think this comment on the website is worth mentioning
"Actually, the big news in this poll is that Gallup has made a call. Yesterday, it was on the fence, unable to say where Edwards voters were going. This afternoon, they've spotted a clear trend - they're breaking for Obama.

That ratifies what we've seen in Rasmussen, where Hillary's lead had shrunk again this morning. Rasmussen has a four day sample, but extrapolate it out, and we're now within the margin of error on both polls. And unless there's been a major Hillary surge this morning, Obama's climb willcontinue for at least the next couple of days, as the polls replace older data with newer samples.

Andrew Sullivan just posted links to polls in NJ and TN that reflect the Obama surge. We're seeing it in the national tracking. And from reports on the West Coast, it appears likely that Obama has just lapped Hillary in the biggest state of them all. He's scored SEIU's endorsement, is poised to pick up the largest Spanish-language paper in California, and has been touted in the past 24-hours on the two most popular Spanish-language radio shows in America. His rally in East LA this morning was much, much better attended than yesterday's.

There's a major shift going on here, and last night's debate did nothing to reverse it. Obama and Hillary both gambled that current trends would guarantee a win. Looks like Obama's winning that bet."
