Gallup: No effect (yet) of "Bitter" on Race, O50 C41

Despite 2 days of blathering on every news network, there does not yet appear to be a downward shift for Obama in the national tracking polls.

Today, Gallup showed Obama +2 from yesterday, while Rasmussen showed him -3 from yesterday, a complete wash.

Gallup:
Obama 50 (49)
Clinton 41 (42)

Rasmussen:
Obama 45 (46)
Clinton 46 (44)

combined

Note that for the last 21 days, Obama has lead by an average of 4.8 points, which is outside the margin of error.

If this trend holds up, it will be safe to conclude that the whole affair was nothing but a bunch of hot air being spewed by Republican pundits and Clinton (surprised anyone?).
