Gallup: Obama And Clinton Tied

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

For the second time in about a week, the two Dems are neck and neck.

These results, based on April 23-25 polling, are the first in which all interviews were conducted after Clinton’s Tuesday Pennsylvania primary win, so it is clear that her victory there helped to erase Obama’s lead. Obama led the race for much of April, while Clinton has not held a statistically significant lead since mid-March, and then only briefly.

The question now becomes whether Clinton can keep the momentum going to regain a lead over Obama heading into the May 6 primaries.

And yet, from nearly any reasonable math that can be done, Clinton’s not going to win this thing. However, the media has zeroed in on the “comeback kid” story and they’re not letting it go.

More as it develops…

They had the storyline long before the primary. Seems to me that no one, including the Obama campaign, thought they would win Pennsylvania. He tried to cut her lead and bankrupt her but, never thought they could win it.
But, the press developed memory loss that night and pulled out the pre written storyline - complete with elitist snob included.
Drama and keep the race going.
Charlie Cook says she is not able to win this. even Chuck Todd.
Only the delusion of the Clintons and the lapdog press push it.

It’s rather disappointing that so many Dems are still supporting Clinton after all the BS she’s been feeding everyone. What’s the point of supporting someone who is wrecking the party? Don’t they realize that she cannot win?
