Minnesota finally gets around to getting a new poll, showing Clinton still leading there, but by only seven points instead of the twenty-five point margin from last September:
* MINNESOTA (caucus, 72 delegates): (Humphrey 1-30) C (40%) 39, O (33%) 33, E (12%) 0 (Swing: 10 to Obama.)
Three polls in New Jersey. Rasmussen: Clinton 49, Obama 37. Survey USA3.9: C 51, O 39. Greenberg Quinler Rosner, C 44, O 38. All show Obama closing up the gap. The survey with the smallest margin of error is Rasmussen:
* NEW JERSEY (primary, 107 delegates): (Rasmussen 1-31) C (49%) 60, O (37%) 37 (Swing: 4 to Obama.)
Obama's home state gets even stronger for him, according to Rasmussen (60-24). American Research Group shows the Illinois race much closer (51-40), but their poll has a smaller sample, so I'm sticking with Rasmussen:
* ILLINOIS (primary, 153 delegates): (Rass 1-30) C (24%) 44, O (60%) 109, E (10%) 0 (Swing: 2 to Obama.)
In Connecticut, where Rasmussen showed the two Democrats tied 40-40, USA shows Obama ahead 48-44. American Research Group shows Hillary ahead by a broader gap, 48-35. Again, ARG's sample is smaller- less than one-third the size of USA- so I go with the Survey USA numbers:
* CONNECTICUT (primary, 48 delegates): (USA 1-30) C (44%) 22, O (48%) 26 (Swing: 2 to Obama.)
USA shows Obama and Clinton tied in Alabama. Capitol Survey Research Center goes further, reversing the numbers Rasmussen showed a week ago- 44 Obama, 40 Clinton. Sticking with USA's much larger sample:
* ALABAMA (primary, 52 delegates): (USA 1-30) C (47%) 26, O (47%) 26, E (9%) 0 (Swing: 5 to Obama.)
USA also has a new New York poll out. Although Obama's gained some ground since USA's last New York poll- up eight percentage points, with Clinton down two- the actual 54-38 split is a bit wider than the Public Policy Polling survey (45-33) we quoted last:
* NEW YORK (primary, 232 delegates): (USA 1-31) C (54%) 136, O (38%) 96 (Swing: 2 to Clinton.)
A new poll for Tennessee from Crawford Johnson & Northcott shows Clinton up 36% to 31% with nearly a third of the electorate undecided or otherwise in play. The sample size is 400 voters:
* TENNESSEE (primary, 68 delegates): (Crawford Johnson Northcott 1-31) C (36%) 37, O (31%) 31 (Swing: 10 to Obama, if it holds. Rasmussen is supposed to have a poll of its own out later today, and it'll almost certainly have a larger sample size.)
Finally, the national Gallup daily tracking poll now has Obama within three points, 44-41. Gallup is cautiously speculating that Obama is gaining more support from Edwards' departure than Clinton, by better than two to one. Rasmussen's tracking poll shows a similar trend, reporting that the last two days of polling, after the Edwards dropout, show Obama behind only by two points, 44-42. Today's official Rasmussen tracking poll, however, shows Clinton up 43-37, thanks to the last day of polling while Edwards was still actively campaigning. Tomorrow will show the first tracking poll without any Edwards pre-suspension support.

New count:
Clinton 892, Obama 786 on February 5. (Net swing to Obama: 27.)
(One other bit of news, which makes me sad, not Super Tuesday related: a new IVR poll in Texas shows Clinton way up over Obama here, 46% to 28%.)

USA Actually has Obama up 48-44 in Conn, not the other way around.
Thanks for the correction: I've made the edit. Future totals will show the new poll properly. It makes, by my guesstimate, a four-delegate difference back to Obama's favor.
