Context: Senator Hillary Clinton’s lead in the Pennsylvania Primary is shrinking.

Pennsylvania Democratic Presidential Primary
Pennsylvania: Clinton 47% Obama 42%
Tuesday, April 01, 2008


Senator Hillary Clinton’s lead in the Pennsylvania Primary is shrinking.

The latest Rasmussen Reports telephone survey in Pennsylvania shows Clinton leading Barack Obama by just five percentage points, 47% to 42%. For Clinton, that five-point edge is down from a ten-point lead a week ago, a thirteen-point lead in mid-March and a fifteen-point advantage in early March.

Support for Clinton slipped from 52% early in March, to 51% in mid-month, 49% a week ago, and 47% today. During that same time frame, support for Obama has increased from 37% to 42%.

Obama recently received a key endorsement from Pennsylvania Senator Bob Casey and has also spent more on television ads than Clinton. If Obama is able to pull off an upset in the Keystone State, it would effectively end the race for the Democratic Presidential Nomination. Obama currently leads Clinton nationally in the Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll. However, while an Obama victory could end the nomination battle, Clinton remains ahead in the state and recently demonstrated her ability to finish strong in the Ohio and Texas Primaries.

Tensions clearly remain in the contest. If Obama is nominated, just 56% of Clinton supporters say they are likely to vote for him against John McCain. Forty percent (40%) of Clinton voters in Pennsylvania say they are not likely to vote for Obama.

On the other hand, if Clinton is nominated, just 67% of Obama supporters say they are likely to vote for her against McCain. Twenty-nine percent (29%) are not.

29. "Finish strong in the Ohio and Texas Primaries."?
That's half right.

Somehow I think that the caucasing delegates realized how many Republicans went out to vote for Clinton.

16. Agreed
Ras should be taken w/ a huge grain of salt.

Realpolitics.com still has Hillary ahead with by an average of 13.5 points, so there's still lots of work to be done.

Obama can claim victory if he keeps her margin below 8%, IMO.

19. They consistently have good results.
Isn't that all that really matters in polling?

This poll may be an outlier, or it may be the start of trend. We shall see.

13. I think it's already over
Hillary should conserve her energies for 2012 just in case Obama can't get the job done this coming November.

18. She's pretty much blown her energies by now
if the point of no return hasn't passed, it's pretty damned close.

has real serious problems right now.

20. this seems to be a repeating pattern
as the primary approaches, her lead shrinks, then by that day, its neck and neck.

22. Would somebody please explain how McCain is leading both of
them? It continues to boggle my mind. Is it because we haven't really decided on a nominee yet?

25. He's not in the race, technically. All the news is about Hillary and Obama, but his numbers
will have serious shrinkage when he starts speaking after the primaries. His few doozies, doosies, dang, I can't spell that thanks to the DUzies, that have aired lately show me he's not working on a full charge.

27. perhaps it's because such high percentages ...
...of obama and clinton supporters won't support the winner of the primary if their candidate loses, giving mccain something like 33-48 percent of "Democratic" votes.
