Post-debate PA poll by Zogby has Hillary leading 47-43

[w¡n9Nµ7 §£@¥€r 123]

New York Democrat Hillary Clinton had a good day in the Newsmax/Zogby daily tracking poll ahead of Tuesday’s Pennsylvania primary, following a strong debate performance in Philadelphia Wednesday night, and now holds a 47% to 43% advantage over Barack Obama of Illinois.

The two-day tracking survey, which was conducted April 16-17, 2008, showed that 10% were either undecided or supported someone else.

The telephone survey, conducted using live operators working out of Zogby’s on-site call center in Upstate New York, included 602 likely Democratic primary voters in Pennsylvania. It carries a margin of error of +/- 4.1 percentage points.

The race appears stable, as Clinton retained a sizable lead in western Pennsylvania, including Pittsburgh, while Obama continues to lead by a large percentage in eastern Pennsylvania, including Philadelphia. In the central part of the state, including the state capital of Harrisburg, Clinton leads by eight points.

If he ends up to be within 5 percentage points of Hillary next Tuesday, that will be a huge victory for Obama.

You've set the bar pretty low for a "huge victory"

Steven, I doubt that will happen. Remember, her nomination is still the preordained conclusion.

PA was one of Hillary's states to win (where she was polling at 20 points ahead in the beginning), so yes it will be a huge victory.

I'm hoping that it's split 51/49 but it's too hard to say at this point. Sen. Casey has been a huge factor in Obama closing up the gap.

Steven, Obama will be lucky if he gets over 35% of the vote in PA.

You've wanted to see how Hillary wins the nomination? PA will show you.

I understand that argument - but does if you want a Democrat to win in November, does it not worry you, just a little bit, that for all the claims he is invincible he is not able to deliver a knock out blow on Super Tuesday, Mar 4 or the Pennsylvania primary?

... for all the claims he is invincible...

Who claimed that?

The only claim people have made is that Hillary can't mathematically overtake his pledged delegate lead. It is clear to everyone that she can win with superdelegates.

Well, I think a lot of people have suggested that he will beat the Republicans in November because everyone hates Hillary so much. Okay, fair enough but it that is the case, why doesn't hasn't he won enough pledged delegates to secure the nomination? Why isn't he winning states like California, Ohio, New York and New Jersey? He can only win 2025 pledged delegates if he gets 55% of them in the remaining primaries - it is debatable whether he can do that.

I'm from California, I voted for Hillary in the primary. But if Obama gets the nom I'll have no problem voting for him. Either of them would make a fine President, much better than McCain who joined the Dark Side (Bush/Rove) and light years away from Chimpy McFlightsuit.

ETA: the real loser of that debate was anyone who watched it, and ABC.

agree about the debate!

I don't really think California will go Republican in the general election (though McCain is the kind of Republican Californians can probably live with), but I am less certain about states like MI, FL, OH, MO and PA
