Gallup: Hillary Takes Two-Point National Lead Over Obama

Today's Gallup tracking poll shows Hillary Clinton taking a narrow national lead over Barack Obama. Here are the numbers, compared to the poll from yesterday:

Clinton 47% (+2)
Obama 45% (-3)

From Gallup's analysis: "While not statistically significant, Clinton's two percentage point advantage in today's report is a notable shift, particularly in light of the political storm Obama has faced over the past few days concerning controversial political statements made by the former pastor of his Chicago church."

For the general-election matches, John McCain is narrowly leading Obama while tying against Hillary:

McCain (R) 46%, Obama (D) 44%
Clinton (D) 46%, McCain (R) 46%

Late Update: A separate USA Today/Gallup poll gives different horse-race numbers against McCain:

Clinton (D) 51%, McCain (R) 46%
Obama (D) 49%, McCain (R) 47%
