There ya go trolls.

If BO is in single digits next week, this could get interesting...

Better than the Rasmussen poll, but still shows significant movement for Obama. She can't take a couple more weeks of this, if this keeps up he'll be ahead of her come election day.

Regardless, it shows that she is very unlike to get the giant huge blowout win she needs to even keep pretending she has a chance of winning this race.

Now that's interesting.

One of the key questions of the past week was whether Obama’s new approach and his endorsement by Bob Casey would enable him to break through among the blue collar Catholics who are known as “Casey Democrats.”

The poll doesn’t ask about religion or income, so we’ve got to look elsewhere for answer. It shows relatively little movement among white voters, indicating that Hillary held steady while Obama picked up four points. But among the 13% of voters who consider themselves politically conservative, Clinton’s lead has shifted from 58-25% to 49-45%. And among pro-life voters (more than a third of respondents) Clinton’s lead has dwindled from 53-36% to 50-44%. And his biggest gains in any age group came among middle-aged voters (35-49), who moved from 53-40 to 49-48%.

So it’s not definitive. But put those numbers together, and you have a profile of the median voter Obama has managed to win over in the past two weeks. Middle-aged, probably Catholic, socially conservative. In short, a Casey Democrat. The endorsement hasn’t pushed these folks solidly into Obama’s column, but it has allowed him to draw pretty much even. And that’s worrying news for Hillary, and reassuring news for Obama supporters who doubted their man’s ability to connect with this demographic.

Actually the Rasumussen poll is showing the gap at 5 points - don't get carried away though. Managing expectations is everything and its important that touting a close outcome doesn't backfire on him if the gap is wider. All indications are that the gap will be double digits (demo's etc.) which is excellent. Keep the expectations there, then if it ends up closer, its a win for him. My 2c.

If I had to guess at the "real" number right about now, judging from all the polls, I'd go for about an 8% lead for Hillary, which in her firewall state still a few weeks out, seems like she is pretty thoroughly screwed to me.

Could have been titled differently - since she's actually lost all those points, but hey, that's ok.

It's in there. :)

The numbers will even out a bit. She just wen through the Tuzla thing and that made her numbers dip, I'm guessing.

Good sign of progress, but there is a long way until voting begins. April just started.

It's time he cut an ad with a group of middle aged middle class white women because he'll soon hit the ceiling with other demographics.

I was surprised he didn't make a more effective pitch in OH and I'm surprised now. He has to make a pitch to that particular demographic- and even if he peels away 2-3 points, that will make the difference.

well, my GF tells me spermicide is tasteless.

on another note, for you "I came in my pants after seeing Obama on youtube" clods. Electing Obama is like diving off a cliff, wearing a parachute packed by an affirmative action baby. Maybe it'll work out....

Man, Clinton cannot spin a single-digit Pennsylvania win. To say nothing of a loss.

She cannot. This is her state, she needs a blowout in PA, and if she doesn't get it she's in a world of hurt.

Any insight as to why Obama is struggling with under 50 voters in Pennsylvania? He's made gains according to the poll, but is underperforming with them compared to other states.

Today: (53 – 41) C+12
3/11/08: (55 – 36) C+19

It all about trends.

Folks: It is now official. Hillary is bonkers. She is now clearly delusional.

First you had her Fairy Tale claim about her Fantasy Warrior deeds in Bosnia.

Today she compared herself to a fictional character in the movies.

Here is what she said. She has lost all grip on reality.

PHILADELPHIA - Perhaps the analogy was inevitable: Hillary Rodham Clinton as Rocky Balboa, the scrappy underdog boxer from Philadelphia memorably depicted in the 1976 Oscar-winning film. Even if Rocky did lose his first big fight.

Addressing a meeting of the Pennsylvania AFL-CIO Tuesday, the former first lady and New York senator said that she, like Rocky, wasn't a quitter.

Soon Hillary will be asking people to win one for The Gipper.

Steve:

When your favorite football team is down 41-3 in the 4th quarter and scores a bunch of points at the end of the game to make the score close, did the opposing coach throw his defense under the bus?

Looking at this rationally, here's what you're missing. Obama hasn't campaigned against Clinton for more than a month, if he ever did. All he's done is parry blows and try to run out the clock on her mathematically eliminated candidacy. Now he could be bringing up lots and lots of Clinton unpleasantness that people in Pennsylvania, entucky, and Indiana would really respond to. Why isn't he? Because he said he was going to be a different kind of candiate and his superior organization and strategy prior to Ohio and Texas gave him the luxury to stick to that conviction. People like me would rather he open up on Hillary, but why bother? She lost the nomination in February and her attempts to resurrect it will not succeed.
