Pennsylvania: Clinton 47% Obama 42% Rasmussen Reports

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.

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.

:woohoo:

major suck-up to Fox news would be in vain. I hope that Mr. Barack Obama leads all the way.

10. I think he might take PA!

11. If Hillary cannot increase her early March numbers. That's it.

I was buying in to her staying in the race for a while, but the more that I think about it, if she's losing (and losing big) these early state leads, in seemingly EVERY state she campaigns in, then there really is no reason for her to stay in the race.

12. Now if Hillary supporters see this and save our country from McSame. n/t

Otherwise it's Hillary supporters and DIRECTLY Hillary's fault.

15. wioth a 5% difference, she IS loosing Penn. Too low to overtake delegate count.

[caligirl]

14. So Penn and Wolfe what have you to say now?Hillary has big problems.

18. Playing with the Delegate calculator...

If HRC wins PA by 56% to 44%, she would need two-thirds of all remaining delegates to catch Obama.

If you take that, and have Obama win 60% of NC delegates, HRC would need over 77% of all remaining delegates to catch Obama.

Stick a fork in her, she's done.

[Life Long Dem]

20. And from the looks of it she won't even win PA by that amount! n/t
