If this is a news site, why does the headline (none / 0)

say, "Clinton Leads?" That's not news; indeed, the news is that she is losing ground in a state that she was destined to win.

Don't worry, 'destiny' will not be denied.

She maybe losing ground to undecideds but Obama isn't gaining either.

Read this :

" According to the 6ABC-Franklin and Marshall poll, Barack Obama is gaining some ground in Pennsylvania.

Although he is closing the gap, Hillary Clinton is still ahead by 6 percentage points.

Just a week before the Pennsylvania primary, 46 percent of likely voters say they'll vote for Clinton and 40 percent say they're for Obama.

Back in March, Clinton had a slightly bigger edge, with 49 percent siding with the Senator from New York and 40 percent preferring the Illinois Senator. "

How the hell is he gaining when he is still at 40 just like in march lol. ( 49/40 and 46/40 ).

Thats just a crappy way to spin it.

Yeah, it's a strange way to sell it. The Q-Poll one about Obama's momentum "stalled" was equally odd considering the possibilities with Bittergate.

Either way, two top PA pollsters have Clinton up 6. And both have Obama doing very well in the Philly area. What this means for delegates is hard to say.

good find! Looks like the "bitter comment" isn't having the effect Clinton hoped it would have.

This is the gold standard in PA (none / 0)

I was waiting for the F&M poll because Terry Madonna knows PA better than anybody else. In fact, the second most accurate pollster for PA is Quinnipiac and they have Clinton's lead at 6 as well. That suggests some consensus among top pollsters and it's a much closer margin than I would have thought.

The debate tomorrow will be big. But equally important will be Obama touring around suburban Philly trying to win votes in the real swing area.
