(CNN) - Hillary Clinton's Pennsylvania win last Tuesday has clearly given the New York senator a boost in the national polls, the latest daily tracking survey from Gallup suggests.
Clinton and Obama are now dead even at 47 percent among likely Democrats, according the newly released numbers. That number remains unchanged from a tracking poll released Saturday and represents a 5-point gain for Clinton since her Pennsylvania win.
In a similar tracking poll released the day of the primary, Obama led Clinton by eight points, 50-42 percent. The Illinois senator's lead over Clinton reached a high of 11 points on April 14.
Meanwhile, a Newsweek poll released Saturday also shows gains for Clinton, but finds the New York senator continuing to trail Obama. In that poll, Obama holds a 7 point lead over Clinton. That margin is more than half of the 19 point lead Obama held in a similar Newsweek poll taken shorlty before the Pennsylvania primary.
Recent polls also show the two candidates locked in a dead heat in the crucial state of Indiana, which votes May 6. In a CNN "poll of polls" released Friday, Clinton and Obama both register 45 percent support from likely Democrats in the Hoosier state.
Since Obama is favored to win North Carolina - the other major prize May 6 - some Clinton advisers have said the New York senator must score a victory in Indiana remain a viable candidate.

Clinton News network always distort news. The latest poll shows Hillary down 3 points to McCain, Obama is up. Why try and spin this to make it seem Obama is losing ground?
I support Obama, but it is time to drop out. This way Hillary WILL lose to McCain (b/c she has no chance, too polarizing) and Obama will have his chance in 2012...
...Lets show the world that Hillary will blow this for the Dems... THANKS ALOT
To remain a "viable candidate"? What gives the current loser the authority to dictate/change the leaders terms of victory? Can you tweak democracy so far it ceases to be democracy?
Come on Obama – debate!! It only 90 minutes of your time. To busy for the voters? You are just afraid to debate Hillary one on one with no moderator. Take a long look at Obama superdelegates – is this the kind of winny and afraid to face challenges in the Oval Office. Not if the voters have a say so. Which by the way – Michigan and Florida MUST
HILLARY FOR PRESIDENT!!!!
A seven point margin is "more than half" the 19 point margin in the last poll????
The poll quoted is among Democrats. Is there a poll being taken that includes registered Democrats and independents? Logic tells me Barack would hold a significant lead in a poll of this nature.
poll or no poll Obama all the WAY
Simply do research for yourself and find out which candidate speaks for you in terms of their policies.
If you vote for them based on bowling or how well they orate, then we are just going to drive this nation off of a cliff around 2040 we have no money to pay off SS and medicare and future "national health care"...
Let the media & polls say whatever they want for another week. THE D-DAY DOR HILLARY IS COMING SOON. THIS IS FOR SURE.
BYE BYE NOBAMA.
Dean really messed this one up.
Obama will not win against McCain.
Most Democrats I talk too said if Obama is the Democrat Nominee they will vote for McCain.
stop drinking that OBAKOOL-AID.... your man is full of empty words of "hope" that will make no difference in your life... do not get me wrong the words "hope" and "change" are good but it does not give you health care...pay the rent of the $4.00 a gallon gas...
come to reality and to good economic progress that we know how to do it!!! an America we can be proud of today...
HILLARY
HILLARY
HILLARY
Obama is FAKE and a COWARD
The Juvenile, and the Lady!
Hillary has not be vetted by Republicans as a presidential candidate and with Bill's 500 million dollar "library" fund it's a disgrace to even consider the clintons in public office. Obama at least has credibility.
OBAMA all the way!
Hillary 08
Times will be GREAT!
Why don't the media check into Hillary's past and what she has been
involved in before and during her stay in the White House???
She has absolutely not been truthful.
After their disgrace in the White House and the American people
it is unbelievable that anyone would believe any thing she and
her husband had to say.
Yes, we need change, putting the Clinton's back in the White House
is not the change.
His support isn't fading, people are just getting tired of this contest because it's been over for two months, yet we keep hearing about it.
Obama will win Indiana!! I know, I live here. ==-)
Bye bye Hillary!!
Yahoo!!
GO OBAMA. American needs a new spirit, new life, new hope, new ideas. We don't need another Clinton in the White House (along with the old Clinton); we don't need another Bush (ever). We need to look forward into the future and the possibilities that like ahead and not be afraid to do so, and thus, not grasp onto someone who is a part of the past.
I hope Obama wins big in Indiana!!!!
Obama will take the victory. Michigan and Florida both ran a foul. Hillary has no chance of taking the contest. North Carolina for Obama!
Doesn't anybody proof read these articles?
If you vote 4 Obama
Might as well slap your Momma.
So the pundits/pollsters claim the two candidates to be equal among "LIKELY DEMOCRATS", but what about independants and non-democrats who will be the ones to actually determine the winner? You have hard core dems., and hard core reps., then you have an extraordinary group of independans/dissatisfied reps, etc. who Obama appeals to and who will not vote for Clinton! They will be the final deciding factor.
