NJ -- Barack Obama has opened up a slight, but statistically significant, lead over Hillary Clinton in national Democratic preferences, largely on the basis of a strong showing in Tuesday night's interviews.

Gallup Poll Daily tracking conducted Feb. 24-26 shows Obama leading Clinton by a margin of five percentage points, 48% to 43%. This is the first time in a week that either Democratic frontrunner has eked out a significant advantage in the race in the tracking poll. Obama was last ahead Feb. 17-19 in Gallup Poll Daily tracking, when he also led Clinton by five points, 47% to 42%. Clinton has not had a significant lead in nearly three weeks (since Feb. 7-9).

Rasmussen Reports tracking shows roughly the same at 47-43 Obama.
