Perhaps there really is a Kennedy bounce happening. While there haven’t been new California numbers, it looks like a big shift is happening in the Northeast, formerly a Clinton stronghold, and nationally.

HRC’s lead has been cut to six points in a new Gallup poll. That’s a 10 point jump since their last national poll, and the tightest race national public polls have shown this campaign.

In Connecticut, numbers from yesterday show Obama and Clinton in a 40-40 tie. That’s a 14 point shift over 9 days.

In Massachusetts, where Clinton had a 37 point lead, and was taking 59% of the vote a day before South Carolina, Obama is now down six, 42%-36%, a 30 point jump.

And in New York, Clinton’s home state, her firewall of firewalls, her last of bastions, she leads by 12%, which is a lead, but not the home-court rout that she needs to win.

It seems like, as voters from Tiger Woods to Alma Rangel take a closer look at Obama, they are liking what they see. I wonder where Tiger is registered…
