Obama and McCain hold solid leads in Wisconsin
Raleigh, N.C. – Barack Obama has opened up an 11 point lead on Hillary Clinton in
Wisconsin, according to a new survey of the state’s likely primary voters by Public
Policy Polling.


Obama’s 50-39 lead is particularly aided by a 55-34 advantage among voters most
concerned about the Iraq war.

“Nationally the number of people listing the war as their top issue is dwindling,” said Dean Debnam, President of Public Policy Polling. “But it’s still the top issue for Democrats in Wisconsin, and Barack Obama is really benefiting from it.” Although Obama leads Clinton only 46-44 among poll respondents who identified themselves as Democrats, he has an overwhelming 63-25 lead with Independents. Obama leads with both male and female voters and with both white and black voters in
the state.

“Our poll shows that if there was standard turnout for the primary, Obama would lead Clinton 46-42,” said Debnam. “But since we believe record numbers of young voters and African Americans will turn out to support him, the weighted result gives Obama a greater 50-39 advantage.”

13. She is not even coming here til Saturday night

Too worried about Texas. This state is Obama country, anyway, so she might as well continue her Giuliani strategy, and pray that she easily wins the big states.

16. WI may get ugly, quick. Texas is going to backfire on her as well.
