National polling

Can anyone argue the importance of national polling in a proportional delegate system? Both Gallup and Rasmussen track national polling and both have Clinton up by 5 to 8 points. But what does this matter? Obama has won more states than Clinton and he's won more votes nationally than she has.

Even more importantly, it simply doesn't matter. They are not competing head-to-head nationally. Yet the tracking polls are still conducted. Does anyone see value in them?
