Yes, there were two more Pennsylvania polls released today -- both show a fairly close race in the Democratic primary. Seems we're increasingly seeing Clinton's number drop below 50%. Remember, PA is supposed to be a blowout win for Clinton. It's the ultimate of all ultimate firewalls. Strategic Vision shows Clinton leading 47% - 42%. PPP has Clinton leading 46% - 43%. Last week, the PPP poll has Obama leading by two points. Analysis from PPP's very informative blog:
Hillary Clinton has moved back into the lead in Pennsylvania after trailing by two points in our poll last week. Still, this result is further confirmation that it's likely to be a close race in the Keystone state.Here's how it looks on Pollster.com:
Clinton's rebound in the last week has come almost entirely from improving her standing with her core demographics of women, whites, and senior citizens. Her lead with woman went from 10 points to 16, with white voters it went from 11 to 17, and with voters over 65 from 16 to 21.
It's hard to tell exactly why Clinton has rebounded during a relatively slow news week, but it may be that negative effects of the Bosnia story have started to wear off as the issue gets less attention.
19 days to go.
