Puerto Rico Poll: Hillary 50, Obama 37
Pretty good showing for Obama in a place that probably barely knows him in comparison to Clinton who has much greater name recognition. If it goes this late, I really dont know how the campaigning there would work or change things, but I dont see a Hillary blowout there likely

It's in Spanish, but you can clearly see 50-37 there and Ben Smith reports its a 13 point Hillary lead.

2. He'll win in PR- guaranteed. This poll is too early and done jusr after
Bill Clinton showed up last weekend.

4. Obama's got soul. When he starts talking to Puerto Rico
watch out for the strong storm of support.

Viva Obama!

6. And Once again Obama is way down in the Polls BUT as time gets closer it tightens and stands a
chance of taking the lead -- You got to give this guy credit ebcause clearly Clinton is riding on her name SOLELY while Obama is the workhorse that comes in and changes peoples minds....clearly when she speaks people tend to turn away as the polls show when Obama begins in the region. So this poll is exactly what i expected. Hats off to the Obama campaign for fighting for every delegate!

GOBAMA!

7. The districts there are almost all 4 delegates- they will split them 2-2 unless
Hillary can get more than 62.5% of the vote there. That looks unlikely based on that poll.
