Another Poll Shows Indiana Is Tight
By Justin Gardner | Related entries in 2008 Election, Barack, Democrats, Hillary, Indiana, PollsSen. Barack Obama holds a narrow lead over Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton in Indiana, with the outcome of the May 6 primary likely in the hands of a large number of undecided voters, according to a new Indianapolis Star-WTHR poll.The poll showed that Obama — helped in particular by strong backing from black voters — is leading Clinton 41 percent to 38 percent among likely Democratic primary voters. But given the poll’s margin of error of plus or minus 4.2 percentage points, this race is either candidate’s to win or lose.
That’s especially true because 21 percent of the respondents remain unsure of how they’ll vote — a high number of undecided voters for an election less than two weeks away.
And concerning the general election and electability…
Among Hoosiers who said they would vote in the general election — a statewide sample of voters with a margin of error of plus or minus 4.4 percentage points — Obama beat McCain 49 percent to 41 percent. Clinton broke even with McCain, with both backed by 46 percent of those polled.And, by 49 percent to 35 percent, Democratic primary voters said Obama is the candidate best able to win in the general election.
More as it develops…

I’m somewhat concerned about the thigh # of undecided as late deciders have gone Hillary’s way previously. But at the same time I think with the two of them in Indiana campaigning, Obama is more likely to gain overall than Hillary is… So he should be in a good position. I sure hope he wins Indiana (even by 0.1%) and blows her out in NC. I think that combination would be enough to finally get her to go away.
