Yesterday was a historical day for the Daily Kos Daily Tracking Poll. It was the first time in the history of the poll that Clinton had captured a quarter of the vote, and it was also the first time voter turnout had exceeded 300. Clinton now only trails Obama by 4%.
Once again Clinton's performance seems be enjoying large spikes in the late hours of the poll.

If you feel this unscientific poll is worth continuing you can let me know by recommending it. Yesterday there was a fascinating debate about the fact that while straw polls are in no way scientific, they still may reveal something very meaningful that scientific polls are not capable of capturing, though this opinion remains highly controversial.
As for scientific polls measuring the opinions of Democrats across the U.S., the latest Ramussen poll shows Clinton 40%, Obama 23%, and Edwards 12%.
