Poll: Clinton Leads By Seven In Pennsylvania

A new poll of Pennsylvania by Strategic Vision (R) gives Hillary Clinton a seven-point lead going into Tuesday's primary. Here are the numbers, compared to their last poll from a five days ago:

Clinton 48% (-1)
Obama 41% (+1)

The match-ups with John McCain also show that the attack-filled Democratic campaign here hasn't helped either of them:

McCain (R) 46%, Clinton (D) 42%
McCain (R) 48%, Obama (D) 40%

Clinton 48% (-1)
Obama 41% (+1)

That's 89. Still missing 11%. Late breakers have gone to Clinton.

So worst case scenario would be 59-41, or about 60-40. Probably a little less than that. I say she wins by 15% or so.

That sounds about right. We've had Kitchen Sink II, ABC "debate" and Bitter-gate. A bad week. And it's her best state yet demopgraphically.


Nah... of that 11, the late-breakers will split 6+5, for an 8 point win.

Clinton by 20.

Obama's meltdowns continue.

Supers go to Clinton to win the nomination then destroy mcwar in the general.

President Hillary Clinton and the Clintons stay undefeated to give us three victories.

Run Obama, lose three in a row.

The choice is clear.

Run Clinton. Lose 12 in a row.

Also, you know he's going to win North Carolina, Montana, Oregon, and South Dakota, and Indiana is a toss-up.

Why post these utterly disingenuous posts.

It's sad.

Pathetic.

I think it's well past time that we all stopped dignifying this guy with responses. He's openly admitted he does this purely to get a rise out of folks. Pathetic, indeed.

Don't feed the trolls!

If Supers swing to Clinton, the AAs will stay at home.

Young people will stay at home.

Independents will stay at home or go McCain.

So who's left to vote for Clinton? Old, white women?

Yeah, she has such a chance to win the GE.

So, we're still waiting for those FEC filings....2 minutes and counting...

It looks like she has $8 million cash on hand for the primary as of March 31 with $10 million in debt. That puts her $2 million in the red.

It also appears she has $21 million available for the general election - but that money can not be used to retire primary debts. So I'd say she's having some money issues.

The polls have been all over the place so I've stopped reading them; sort of like stop listening to MSM, it's too nerve wracking. I've been feeling down for a few days but for some reason today I had a good feeling that Obama can pull off something good here. I guess we'll see but I don't think I trust any of the polls.

I read somewhere that Obama picks up 3.75points for every day he campaigns in a state, while Clinton picks up 2.5 - which leaves a net of 1.25 for Obama when they both campaign. I have no idea where/how they came up with those #'s but assuming it is true (a big assumption) he should close about 5 points from Thurs polls by the election.
Sadly, I think PA is a really tough state for him. Lots of Nash McCabe's out there looking for excuses not to vote for him.

I really think Obama's biggest problem in PA is the perception that he hasn't 'earned his way to the Presidency'. They see him coming out of nowhere and not paying his dues and to blue collar people with a high school (if that) edu, that is very personal. I think they see HRC work her whole life and put up with a lot of crap and now something good is happening to her - a bit of a metaphor for their lives (or what they would hope to be a metaphor). With Obama coming a long and stealing HRC's dreams without putting in HIS time, it is almost like he is stealing their own.

Not very rational, but I think voting is rarely that sadly.

Well, that makes sense.

A week ago, the arg poll had Clinton ahead by 20, so the same poll taken 7 days later---after the wall to wall idiocy about sf, and then Stephanococcus on abc, etc. that poll now has him down by 13 instead of 20---probably statistical noise. With the normal margin of error, and the late breakers going for Clinton, anything less than 62 percent for Hillary (say 52percent?) will be a huge disappointment for her. But the superdelegates will be duly impressed and will nominate her anyway.

If colored people don't like it, Hillary has an old campaign slogan ready---"screw em".

Anything less than 62% would be a huge disappointment? Meaning a 60-40 win would be a disappointment...somehow I think your metric will not be the one used by the MSM and most viewers.

when i said anything less than 62 percent would be a huge disappointment for Hillary---I was making fun of some of the ridiculous predictions being made for her.

Glad I found an expectation too high to consider---maybe Obama still has a "tiny chance" to win the nomination.

Enough with the damned polls already!

Zogby breaking late to Clinton is the equivalent of SUSA predicting a 10 point win on the eve of the primary.

So, what is the explanation for this? Could it be because Hillary hasn't opened her mouth over the weekend (I mean, for the most part)?

Cut the pollsters some slack. If they don't get no polls, they don't get no rolls!

The Clinton-Obama photoshop challenge. My personal favorite is #11, but I liked #28 a lot, too.

What has been the history of this polling company with regard to their previous polls and real time outcomes?

Big Surprise on Tuesday

Obama comes wins the primary. It'll be all the newly registered voters that make the difference along with an energized progressive base that's tired of old style corrupt politics.

It will be a body blow to the Clinton campaign; the Super's will flock to Obama and there will be great pressure (from the party elders) on Clinton to let go.

Freed of the need to battle Hillary; Barack goes on to shine lots of light on McCain and wins the general with long coat tails and a filibuster proof majority in the senate.....and yes,
Hillary comes around and actively campaigns for Barack, helping him to achieve that win.

The times, they are a changin.

That should read, "Obama comes through and wins....

He wins tomorrow, and it's over. She'll have no case to stay in. If only.

Scranton paper had article about a possible upset based on turnout of newly registered voters. If the weather is delightful Obama may win (that's my prediction).

It's supposed to be 71 and partly cloudy here in Philly; same in Scranton. 20% chance of precipitation. Looks good to me!

I'm predicting a 15 point Hillary win. So about 57-42 is where I'm predicting it will end up being. And we'll all keep on being subjected to this travelling show until June, when Hillary will be behind in all measures and the superdelegates will finally come and go for the necessary amount for Obama.

And in the meantime, like in these PA polls, the Dems will be losing ground to McSame.

Not that I'm bitter about this. Not at all. I'm resilient and happy.

50.2 to Obama, and 49.8 to Clinton, give or take a 0.1% either side.

The push to Obama may come from the new registrants, and 50% of undeciders saying "lets end this now"

Clearly PA is Hillary's to lose. We shouldn't disillusion ourselves differently. Obama will lose, barring Divine Intervention. That said, if he keeps it below 10 points, he can spin this as a victory. Particularly since he was down by twenty points three weeks ago.

Frankly, I'm looking forward to the IN contest. That should be the tie-breaker.

Anyone know if either campaign payed out "street money" in PA?
