The Soft Count includes Senator Harkin, President Jimmy Carter, while the published reports of Governor Corzine & Senator Cartwell (possibly switching) and the news that 8 NC superdelegates are about to commit for Obama before their primary, plus the courting of 16 undeclared in Virginia by its Governor and Obama appears on the cusp of catching Clinton outright.
CNN has just released a conglomeration of the Pennsylvanian polls and it shows that Clinton is hanging on to a 4 point lead and falling fast!
Sen. Hilary Clinton's lead over Sen. Barack Obama in the crucial primary state of Pennsylvania has dwindled to 4 points, a CNN average of recent polls calculated Thursday shows.The New York senator now holds a 4 point advantage over her rival for the Democratic presidential nomination, 46 to 42 percent. Twelve percent of likely Democratic voters there remain unsure.
Recent CNN "poll of polls" suggest the race in Pennsylvania is tightening before the state's April 22 primary. A poll of polls calculated two days ago showed Clinton with a 6 point lead in Pennsylvania, and a poll of polls last Friday showed her on top by 11 points.
“Obama is outspending Clinton by better than two to one on television ads in Pennsylvania,” said Alan Silverleib, CNN’s senior political researcher. “Combine that with Clinton’s recent misstatement over her 1996 trip to Bosnia and the escalating chorus of voices calling on her to withdraw from the race, and you get a much tighter contest.”
Thursday's poll of polls included recent surveys from Time Magazine, American Research Group, and Quinnipiac University.
