Newsweek Poll: Obama's Lead Over Clinton Down Since PA Loss -- But He's Still Ahead
A new national poll from Newsweek has some bad news and some good news for Barack Obama post-Pennsylvania: On the one hand, his lead over Hillary Clinton has been cut significantly since last week -- but on the other hand, he's still ahead of her in the horse race and on other measures of popularity:
Obama 48% (-6)
Clinton 41% (+6)
Obama's favorable ratings stand at 53% favorable and 40% unfavorable, compared to 47%-49% for Clinton.
Another example: On the charge of elitism that has dogged Obama since the "small town" flap, 25% of respondents said he looks down on people like them, with 65% saying he does not. This was in fact slightly better than Clinton's 32%-61% rating on this issue.
