The issue with Obama's pastor, which did some damage to the polls last week seems to have run its course, and Hillary Clinton's negatives in polls have gone up significanlty while Obama's negatives have gone up only slightly.

Obama is currently up accourding to the latest poll in North Carolina by 21 points, up from one point last week. Clinton's lead in Pennsylvania has gone from 16 points to 10 points, narrowing a bit.

Hillary Clinton now needs 64% of the remaining pledged delegates in order to pull even on pledged delegates, now that Florida and Michigan re-votes are off the table.
