Obama takes the lead in Pennsylvania

Barack Obama 45
Hillary Clinton 43

Barack Obama has taken the lead in Pennsylvania, a remarkable turnaround after trailing Hillary Clinton by 26 points in a PPP poll in the state just two and a half weeks ago.

Obama's steep rise could be a reflection of a growing sense among Democratic voters that a continued divisive nomination process will hurt the party's chances of defeating John McCain this fall. An Obama upset in Pennsylvania would be virtually certain to force Clinton out of the race.

Obama has his customary large advantage with black voters (75-17) and is keeping it relatively competitive with white voters (49-38)

He leads across all age groups except senior citizens and balances Clinton's 10 point lead with women with his own 15 point lead with men.

Intressant... Om Obama vinner i Pennsylvania så är det nog nästan helt säkert kört för Clinton. Men det är ju nästan 3 veckor kvar till valet så mycket kan hända innan dess.

Ja, Clinton måste vinna Pennsylvania, och helst stort för att kunna framföra några övertygande argument för superdelegaterna. Hon siktar så klart på att vinna den totala "popular vote" och i de s k swing states.
