April Fool's Joke Or Not? New PA Poll on Drudge Report

[slinkerwink]

RASMUSSEN POLL: Clinton Lead Shrinking in PA; Clinton 47% Obama 42%... Developing...

[slinkerwink]

1. thought it was interesting

[slinkerwink]

2. don't freak out, Clinton supporters.......

[Thepricebreaker]

3. Drudge makes a ton of cash from his website.. He wouldnt fool like that....

[slinkerwink]

6. you never know....

I saw that poll link and thought to myself, "No way! Isn't she supposed to be up by double digits?"

[crankychatter]

26. 47 to 42? Wow, that would be impressive

Pays to let them win the bowling game I guess

[Thepricebreaker]

28. I wonder if Chris Mathrews is going to have that feeling up his leg tonight....

[my3boyz]

32. Chris Matthews is only kissing up to Barack until his

College tour interview has aired. Then he will start putting Barack down again.

[acrosstheuniverse]

7. It's fake!

All I see on Rasmussen is Mccain beating both Obama and Clinton's ass and his lead widening in Virginia

[slinkerwink]

13. it's a poll that hasn't been linked yet. Drudge usually gets leaked polls.

4. You should take a shower after visiting that site.

I hate that DR is getting so much publicity. It is the web equivalent of The Fixed News Channel. I would not go there ever.

[Thepricebreaker]

8. I don't care what anyone says.. the man gets news a day before most...

[shaniqua6392]

27. Except that he has about a 35% accuracy rate

and is never held responsible for the falsities that he promotes. He is a Repuke lover that is full of crap. He makes up the news.

[Thepricebreaker]

5. Was it pulled.. I don't see it on there anymore...

[slinkerwink]

9. it's still there. It's on the left hand side of the site.

[Thepricebreaker]

12. Thanks got it..

[MonkeyFunk]

10. I don't see any such thing

on Drudge.

[slinkerwink]

14. left hand side of the site. It's right above the picture of Bill, Hill, and Chelsea

[MonkeyFunk]

20. ah, refreshed the page

yep, it's there.

[tekisui]

22. I don't see Drudge.

If it's true, another source will have it soon enough. I can wait to check another site.

[Thepricebreaker]

25. Check Rassmussen after 12:00pm EST .. to confirm.

[tekisui]

29. Will do.

:thumbsup:

Hope it's true.

11. I think it must have been a joke - there is nothing on Rasmussen's site about a new PA poll (n/t)

[Thepricebreaker]

15. Drudge gets things much ealier then anyone else.. If it was a joke it would be in bigger text.

[slinkerwink]

17. maybe so.

[slinkerwink]

16. it might've been leaked, but this is April Fool's Day, so take it with a grain of salt

[Thepricebreaker]

19. Drudge would have a siren up if it was a joke.. not some little text on the side...

[Perky]

18. Gee wonder where he got the idae fot that joke if it is one...LOL

[crankychatter]

21. that would be a five point hop in two days...

Obama has done this before... not unbelievable

I'd like to see him do it in the general election

I like Drudge because of the links on the left... he'll link to anybody so it's not all one sided

I'll have to check out the source

[my3boyz]

23. April Fools! nt

[Thepricebreaker]

24. I think April Fools would be if he was leading... This is small text and on the side...

[my3boyz]

30. Hmm....I don't know. I have a hard time believing it BUT

if it is true then Obama better step back because here comes kitchen sink strategy #2. They have been playing mostly nice because they have been way ahead in PA. If PA victory is in jeopardy, they will try to destroy Obama again.....

[Thepricebreaker]

31. If its true Bill Clinton is going to come out in black face in a clown costume....

[thevoiceofreason]

42. To catch the really big fish, you cast, inconspicuously, then wait

That's how to set a good April Fool's joke.

[DerekJ]

33. hmmmm

Curious... Verrryyy Curious

[acrosstheuniverse]

34. You know what...

if it is THAT close when they really vote, Hillary is DONE!

[charlie]

35. It's only a 5-6 point tightening

and would bring them back to where Rasmussen had them a month ago. Good for Obama, but not eyepopping news. So, if it's a joke, it's not much of one.

[DerekJ]

36. Was Obama that close to her before in PA?

[charlie]

37. Closer

According to Rasmussen:

http://www.rasmussenreports.com/public_content/politics/election_20082/2008_presidential_election/pennsylvania/pennsylvania_clinton_46_obama_42

[DerekJ]

38. Interesting ....eom

[SunsetDreams]

40. thats an old poll

[charlie]

43. Uh, yeah

Like I said, from a month ago.

[SunsetDreams]

39. Wow I see it...

I wouldn't be surprised, one poll had him within 10 points the other day. I don't think it was Rasmussen though.

I know during this whole primary, it's been proven time and time again, that Barack eats away at big leads, once people start seeing him, and getting to know about him.

Who knows? I guess we will see later.

[Bucky]

41. Drudge Report IS an April Fool's Joke that someone forgot to turn off

It will never be April 2nd again

[Yukari Yakumo]

44. Linkage

http://rasmussenreports.com/public_content/politics/election_20082/2008_presidential_election/pennsylvania/pennsylvania_democratic_presidential_primary

It appears to be true (at least according to Rass).

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

45. Shows Obama with a five point gain, Clinton with a two point drop.

That's what SUSA is also showing, albeit with a larger spread.
