Sen. Barack Obama has a huge lead among younger voters in Indiana, Sen. Hillary Clinton holds the same lead with voters older than 60, and both candidates for the Democratic presidential nomination will have a tough race ahead of them in the Hoosier state.

Those are just a few of the indications in a poll commissioned by WSBT-TV, The Tribune, WISH-TV in Indianapolis and WANE-TV in Fort Wayne.

In a sample of 400 likely Democratic primary voters, Clinton would reap 49 percent of the vote and Obama would earn 46 percent of the vote if the election were held today.

2. Makes you wonder what "Momentum" really means.

Is it squeaking out 1% victories in states you'd lead by 20 points just 3 weeks earlier?

3. n=400 is a pretty small sample - almost a 5% MOE there .nt

4. maybe those numbers will hold in Indianapolis and Fort Wayne but he won't do that well statewide

Indiana is not what one would call a bastion of liberalism and progressivism.
