Clark Surges In National Poll -- Political Wire

Clark Surges In National Poll

A new USA Today/CNN/Gallup Poll shows Howard Dean "has lost his lead over No. 2 Wesley Clark... Dean slipped from a 21-point gap to 4 points, effectively a tie within the margin of error."

"Dean's slip and uncertainty among Democrats suggests that the nomination fight is still fluid."

Meanwhile, Clark's campaign reveals Dean's "secret strategy to attack Clark."

Update: Kos comments: "So is this the famous last one before Iowa? The one that is supposed to be the best indicator of who wins the nomination? For the record, I don't buy any argument based on the inevitability of history repeating itself. Period. So just because Gallup has pegged it with its last national poll before, doesn't mean it'll happen this time."
