Post debate the Uptick Continues in Rasmussen Daily tracking.
The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Saturday Hillary Clinton with an eight point lead in the race for the Democratic Presidential Nomination. It’s now Clinton 49%, Obama 38%.
Rasmussen Article does contradict itself, text shows 8 point lead, numbers show 11 point lead. Maybe we shouldnt trust a pollster that cant subtract 38 from 49.

I would say this, the state polls which show it very tight only include 1 evening of post debate polling. Could we be seeing the polls missing the clinton rebound in the states?
Another explenation that many make is that Hillary does better on weekend polls, something to keep in mind. Although as GregNYC points out in the comments last saturday rasmussen showed it Clinton 36% Obama 33%.
Update:
PRINCETON, NJ -- Two days before the Super Tuesday primaries and caucuses, Gallup Poll Daily tracking data show Hillary Clinton (46%) and Barack Obama (44%) in a statistical dead heat in national Democratic voters' preferences for the nomination. This is the closest the candidates have been since the daily tracking program began in early January.
Thats Obama Up 3 Clinton down 2 on yesterdays numbers.
My conclusion, these numbers tell us nothing, go watch the football.
