Interestingly Obama’s higher rate of increase relative to Clinton’s in the PA polls does not seem to have been impacted:

The combination of statistical error and undecideds has basically had Clinton and Obama tied since right after super Tuesday, with Obama showing more data points on the plus side. From a big picture perspective I'd say Obama's rate of increase in support was probably slowed by the ginning up of the Wright "controversy" but that the support he had already achieved remained pretty steady. CBS has a new poll that shows the Wright issue being left behind. "Obama is viewed unfavorably by 24 percent of all voters, back to where it was before last month's controversy over his former pastor, the Rev. Jeremiah Wright." http://www.pollster.com/08-US-Dem-Pres-Primary.php Looking at all polls plotted on one chart what it looks like is a flattening of the rate of increase for the past few weeks for both candidates.
