Poll: Clinton still leading in PA

The MSNBC/McClatchy/Pittsburgh Post-Gazette poll released earlier today has Clinton with a five-point lead over Obama in Pennsylvania.

Still, the poll is [...]

Whatever one’s perspective may be, there is probably a poll that can readily found to accommodate [...]

Quicksand

Sinking fast.
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.

A closer look at ‘popular’ and ‘overall’ votes

Greg Sargent at TPM has referenced a finding in the ABC News/Washington Post poll released today that merits discussion.

Issues polling vs. election polling

It would be hard to argue that John McCain’s policies differ from George Bush’s. There are a few differences, but they are by no means substantial, or at least I don’t view them as significant. Since Americans overwhelmingly disapprove of Bush’s handling of the two top issues — Iraq and the economy — and McCain [...]

Did ‘elitist’ attack hurt Clinton more than Obama?

Gallup Daily: Obama 51%, Clinton 40% (April 12-14 average)
It’s still too soon to make any real conclusions about Clinton’s "elitist" attack on Barack Obama, but today’s Gallup Daily Poll is not reflecting the results Clinton’s desperation seeks. However, I think it is safe to assume Clinton will only increase her attacks. No one really [...]
