Polls Show Top Hopefuls in a Statistical Dead Heat as Barack Obama Gains Ground on Clinton

With one national poll showing Sen. Barack Obama in a statistical dead heat with Sen. Hillary Clinton for the Democratic presidential nomination, Obama’s campaign coordinated an ambitious field operation over the weekend where scores of Americans across the country walked door-to-door in their communities urging neighbors to rally around Obama's historic candidacy.

According to last week’s USA Today/Gallup Poll, the tie between Obama (D-IL) and Clinton (D-NY) marks the first time that Clinton hasn't comfortably led the field of Democratic candidates. Other national polls still show Clinton leading Obama but Obama aides say they are clearly gaining ground.

So on Saturday, calling the movement a "Walk for Change," Obama supporters canvassed communities in all 50 states for a nationwide neighborhood walk, a grassroots effort to recruit volunteers for a long and expensive campaign season.

In what many supporters are calling "Obamamania," Texans for Obama, Vermonters for Obama, Bay Area for Obama, Asians for Obama, and YouTube in Sacramento, were just a few national grass roots groups that participated in the June 9 event.

1. Change your headline...to poll...not polls...

And it is increasingly clear that this appear to be an outlier....and subsequent polls have not shown that trend, and in fact have shown the opposite...

2. Except "polls" DON'T show that. ONE does. And it isn't even the newest poll.

3. Where they shall remain for months, unless one of them drops trou and moons Brian Williams.

4. Most I have read say Clinton has about a 20 point advantage.

5. IllinoisOrwell strikes again...

First trying to convince us that the latest Rasmussen showed an erosion in Hillary's support...when in fact that opposite was the case...
