LAT/Bloomberg national poll:

http://www.latimes.com/news/printedition/front/la-na-poll27feb27,1,7063277.story

Obmama 48%
Clinton 42%

Interestingly, they also give the results for the subsample of people living in states that haven't voted yet:

You must be logged in to read this quote.

Also, the wording of the question is basically "Who will you / who did you vote for?", so if the person has already voted, the question is asking who they voted for.  But when the question is asked as "Regardless of who you already voted for, who do you now support?", it's:

Obama 55%
Clinton 37%

So it looks like many of the people who voted for Clinton are now backing Obama.

The sample size for that subset can't be more than a couple hundred.

Exactly, about 400 people were interviewed for the nationwide Democratic poll. Considering that TX, OH, PA and some other states that will vote later have less than 1/3 of the US population, the subsample has about 100 people ... So, forget it.
