HRC Takes Back National Tracking Poll Lead

Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-N.Y.) has taken back the national lead among Democrats for the first time since March 20 when Illinois Senator Barack Obama (D) passed the former first lady.

Clinton now leads Obama 46-45.

Only a day ago, Clinton made news by closing to three points after trailing by double digits only a week before in the tracking poll.

From Gallup:

These results are based on interviewing conducted April 16-18, including two days of interviewing after the contentious Wednesday night debate in Philadelphia and the media focus that followed. Support for Hillary Clinton has been significantly higher in both of these post-debate nights of interviewing than in recent weeks.
