A new Newsweek poll shows Obama pulling away
Despite her campaign's relentless attacks on Barack Obama's qualifications and electability, Hillary Clinton has lost a lot of ground with Democratic voters nationwide going into Tuesday's critical primary in Pennsylvania, a new NEWSWEEK poll shows.
The survey of 1,209 registered voters found that Obama now leads Clinton by nearly 20 points, or 54 percent to 35 percent, among registered Democrats and those who lean Democratic nationwide. The previous Newsweek poll, conducted in March after Clinton's big primary wins in Ohio and Texas, showed the two Democrats locked in a statistical tie (45 percent for Obama to 44 percent for Clinton). The new poll puts Obama ahead among women as well as men, and voters aged 60 and older as well as younger voters. (For the complete poll data, click here).
Is anyone else as excited as me to watch the Clinton's implode and disappear from politics? |
I don't want to pick on you, but a national poll doesn't seem all that relevant right now--what matters is Pennsylvania, where Clinton is still holding on to a lead. That's where the next narrative of this election will come from, and if Clinton wins big, you could see that 20 point lead evaporate in a hurry, potentially.
