You can see today's daily national poll at the Rasmussen Reports website.
Poll results from the last day of Edward's candidacy (1/30) had 41% Clinton, 32% Obama, and 16% other (included undecided).
The first poll released after he withdrew (1/31) has 42% Clinton, 35% Obama and 23% other (including undecided).
These polls have a margin of error of a couple of percent, but it certainly looks like half the Edwards supporters hadn't decided what to do yet. The other half seem to have gone for Obama at a rate of 3 to 1.
I thought Barack's statement on Edwards' campaign hit the nail on the head, in terms of recognizing the issues and stances that had swayed his core following. Hopefully the outreach can continue, and the trend of the early numbers I gave above will continue to follow.
