Eric, you linked to the wrong poll. Your link takes the reader to a governorship poll.

Josh, on the front page, has the correct link. Something really weird about this poll, though.......it shows Hillary doing better than Obama among the 18-34 year olds. Hmmm?

Indiana Men, Democrats, & Young Voters Move Away From Obama: In a Democratic Primary in Indiana today, 04/14/08, three weeks until the primary, Hillary Clinton defeats Barack Obama 55% to 39%, according to a SurveyUSA poll conducted for WCPO-TV Cincinnati and WHAS-TV Louisville. Compared to an identical SurveyUSA poll released two weeks ago, Clinton is up 3 points, Obama is down 4 points. Clinton had led by 9 at the beginning of April, leads by 16 mid-month. Here's where the movement is occurring: Among men, Obama had trailed by 2, now trails by 12, a 10-point swing to Clinton. In greater Indianapolis, Obama had led by 12, now trails by 1, a 13-point swing to Clinton. Among Democrats, Obama had trailed by 12, now trails by 27, a 15-point swing to Clinton. Among voters focused on health care, Clinton had led by 10, now leads by 30, a 20-point swing to Clinton. Among the youngest voters, Obama had led by 19, now trails by 2, a 21-point swing to Clinton. Filtering: 1,600 state of Indiana adults were interviewed 04/11/08 through 04/13/08. All interviews were completed before the Democratic candidates appeared in a "compassion forum" the evening of 04/13/08. Of the adults, 1,386 were registered to vote. Of them, 571 were determined by SurveyUSA to be likely to vote in the 05/06/08 Indiana Democratic Primary. Indiana has 72 Democratic convention delegates, which are awarded proportionally. Republicans and Independents are technically eligible to vote in Indiana's 'open' primary.

Go Girl!! Yeeeehiaaa!!

notthatstupid,

It is really interesting that every time some good news about Clinton comes out some Obama supporter, such as you now, writes something like "I am finished with the Clintons". What, you were going to switch to her while she was down? Why wouldn't you want to do so now, especially when things are beginning to look promising for her as Obama's candidacy crumbles?

And the name, notthatstupid? you might want to rethink it.

I don't care how accurate SurveyUSA has been this season, that massive swing in the 18-34 demographic is fucking stupid.

I call bullshit. There's no way in hell Obama loses that age group by double digits.

I don't think of it as her 'plan' to keep on going. I think of it more as her evil scheme to keep on going.

Just sayin'

We have to put away machine politics.
I live in East Chicago Indiana - Steeltown.

- Where the air smells - Bad
- Where it is considered the 7th most polluted region in the country based on USEPA TRI data
- Where The Indiana Harbor is arguably the most polluted waterway in the country
- Where 1/1000 Americans are murdered annually
- Where it is home to extreme poverty
- Where the State’s poorest citizens pay the highest property taxes at 8.43%
- Where the Schools rank last in the state based on Standardized testing
- Where more than 11% of working age Hispanic males are unemployed (controlling for government workers)
- Where more than 20% of working age African-American males are unemployed (controlling for government workers).
- Where Industry no longer hires local residents because they lack the qualifications
- AND where deep-rooted Democrat politics operate

- This is the place where candidates, who were not on the Mayor's slate, were recently locked-out from speaking to the East Chicago Precinct Organization as they were determining who to endorse.
- This is the place where 28% of households receive a paycheck from City Hall.
- This is the place where if you have a job you work for the city and they pay you to vote. They also pay you to put up political signs, and they pay you canvass neighborhoods and they pay you to show up at rallies and polls. And if they can feel your Love they will pay you to TAKE-CARE of political enemies - That's a lot of money and a lot of Love.

To the credit of most Americans, this is not the America they know. This is a remnant of 19th century Steeltown politics - but it still exists, here on the Southern Shores of Lake Michigan, here in America, and it is strong Clinton territory.

So your damn right I am bitter.

I am bitter towards our Party Elite who utilize these practices to deliver the vote. I am bitter towards State Party Leaders who allow these practices to continue at the region and the local levels. I am bitter towards those who will sit back and blame the local electorate for voting these officials into office, without acknowledging how the practices of machine politics in areas of extreme poverty rapes a community. I am bitter towards National leaders showing up here with back-room deals for the local POLITICAL ELITE.

I am bitter towards the Clintons who came here sixteen years ago promising jobs, universal healthcare, improved education, and a better quality of life. In the end, a lot of local politicians got rich and school kids got a free lunch - That's it. I WANT A CHANGE. I don't want a President showing up in a bars drinking SHOTS with local POLITICAL ELITES and SHOOTING off her mouth about being a hunter.

I’m bitter because we, the people are disenfranchised and our community is becoming more violent, and less educated. The people are becoming poorer, and our neighborhoods are becoming more blighted.

I am tired now.
And I need to find a better life for me and my family…

At some point Blue Indiana needs to grow up and change business as usual.

Sometimes Wonkette hits it out of the park.

This is the trolliest thread ever.

Odd though that the political machine in Boston was for Obama. Obama had the Governor and both Senators supporting him and he still lost big. In Massachusetts, she beat the machine.

Are all Obama supporters this dense? Honestly think before you write.

There we go again, one more poll that is irrelevant at this point.

Latest Pennsylvania Quinnipiac poll out today:

Clinton 50. Obama 44. Same numbers as last week.

Pollster says Bittergate has not harmed Obama. Watch for her numbers to drop a bit over the next week as he turns on the charm with voters.

factanonverba: You just embarrassed yourself. In MA, Hillary had the endorsements of the mayors of Boston and Worcester and those are the people who control the existing political machines that turn out votes. That's one reason Obama only won Boston 55-45, and not by a much bigger margin.

It's clear you don't know anything about MA politics. In the future, try to have a little knowledge about these things before you start attacking other people.

Wow. If Hillary can keep this pretend momentum going, she may lose the nomination by slightly fewer delegates than expected. That's certainly worth continuing to damage the Democratic Party.

I can't wait to see how he turns this into a positive. While I agree with what he said, the way he said it was not a positive. Kinda like I might know that I am not good looking, but I don't want to be called ugly.

Suck it up and quite being so sensitive, we have a White House to win!

This is a poor poll, small number and margin of error of 4.2 % -- as in, all the movement in the recorded numbers for both candidates is well within MoE. As in, very possible NOTHING has changed in IN......
