Just over a week ago, Hillary Clinton decided to throw the “kitchen sink” at Barack Obama — that is, hit him with every single attack her campaign had. It might be those attacks, or it might be the NAFTA flap, but something’s working. Obama is actually trending down in Texas. Check out this chart from pollster.com:
Chris Hayes over at the Nation says this is the first time in the entire campaign that Obama’s averaged poll numbers have declined. (Pollster.com averages all polls, making it a better source for numbers than any individual poll.) That sounds right to me. I do know this is the first time I’ve ever seen his numbers declining as he heads into a primary.
All hail the kitchen sink.
