Poll: Clinton Leads By 20 in PA

By Justin Gardner | Related entries in 2008 Election, Barack, Democrats, Hillary, Pennsylvania, Polls

American Research Group has a shock poll out today that shows a 20 point swing in a matter of 6 days…and I think this poll started before Obama’s “bitter” comment.

Check it out:

April 5 – 6:
Clinton: 45%
Obama: 45%

April 11 – 13:
Clinton: 57%
Obama: 37%

Some details from ARG:

Hillary Clinton leads Barack Obama 48% to 44% among men (45% of likely Democratic primary voters). Among women, Clinton leads 64% to 31%.

Clinton leads 64% to 29% among white voters (82% of likely Democratic primary voters). Obama leads 79% to 18% among African American voters (14% of likely Democratic primary voters).

Clinton leads 52% to 43% among voters age 18 to 49 (50% of likely Democratic primary voters) and Clinton leads 62% to 31% among voters age 50 and older.

But here’s something interesting…

23% of likely Democratic primary voters say that excessive exposure to Obama’s advertising is causing them to support Clinton.

Death by ad fatigue? I guess money isn’t such an advantage after all?

More as it develops…

    I wish this primary would happen already. I’m getting tired of hearing about the “mood swings” of the good folks in the Keystone State. They all seem to need some good bi-polar meds.

    Everytime Hillary publicly drinks a beer and takes a shot, her points go up. Maybe she should just get shit-faced drunk and wind by a landslide.

    On Obama – I guess that economic genius never heard of the law of diminishing returns.

    God I love the Democrats. How you guys manage to fuck up a presidential election handed to you on silver-platter is truly beyond me! You could have picked Richardson, hell Biden…but nooooo…you’re absolute slaves to fashion.

    Well, you’ve still got the Google-vote all locked up…that should make the creative latte drinkers happy. That and $6.00 at Starbucks will get you a coffee.

  3. Blame Says:

    It is an unbelevable shift. In fact I don’t beleive it. ARG has a doubtfull reputation. Wait for confirmation from other polls.

    [...] That 20 point ARG poll today? Well, it was obviously a shocker, but what’s more telling is the story when the polls are aggregated… [...]
