MSNBC Hints At Hillary Win

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

Now, they haven’t called it yet, but Olbermann said that they might have some news at the top of the hour. My guess is they will because she’s up by 14 with 34% reporting. That’s seemingly way too much for Obama to come from behind and win.
And sure, he could close the gap, but [...]

With 28% In, Hillary Up By 14 In Indiana

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

Keith Olbermann made sure to say it’s “too early” to call instead of “too close” to call.
Do they know something and aren’t telling us?
In any event, my prediction is she’ll win it, but it’ll be single digits.
UPDATE:
Now there’s 33% in and she’s maintaining the 14% lead.

With 16% In, Hillary Leads 57% to 43%

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

Since I reported about a probably win for Obama, it looks like Hillary is doing really well with nearly 20% in.
Of course the votes only total 190,000, so one has to think that these aren’t the major metro areas of the state.
More as it develops…

That’s the news from the Indy Star today.
Note the difference between these two voters…
“I’m a hardcore Republican,” she said, “but it’s about who I wanted in second place in case McCain doesn’t make it. … I don’t like the way this country’s been run in the last 20 years. I’m sick of the dynasty [...]

Zogby: Obama Still Leads By 2 In Indiana

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

Yesterday it was Obama/Clinton, 44/42. Today it’s Obama/Clinton, 45/43.
This is a tight one, and I wouldn’t be surprised if Hillary pulls out the victory tonight given that this poll still shows 12% undecided.

The details… (pdf)
Clinton led a similar poll last week 50-42. The main movement since then comes from Obama shoring up his support with black voters. Last week he led [...]

If she can win by double digits in Indiana, it’s significant.
The details…
24 hours till votes are counted in the Indiana Democratic Primary, Hillary Clinton defeats Barack Obama in the symbolically important popular vote, and possibly by enough to pick up more than a trivial number of net Convention delegates, according to SurveyUSA’s final pre-primary tracking [...]

Zogby’s North Carolina And Indiana Polls Add Up To 101%

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

I’m not exactly sure what’s up with his numbers today, but as stated in the title they BOTH add up to 101%, which seems pretty sloppy. Obviously, I understand the idea of rounding up, but this seems akin to Clinton winning by 9.2% in Pennsylvania and the media reporting she actually won by double digits.
Here’s [...]

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

It’s Obama/Clinton, 48/39. Yesterday it was 46/37.
So both Hillary and Barack added 2 since yesterday as the “someone else” category shrunk by 3 to 5% and 1% undecideds made up their mind for a new 8%.
Here’s more on NC:
Obama leads by 16 points among voters age 35-54, the largest age grouping in the survey. [...]

Zogby: Obama Up Big In North Carolina, Tied In Indiana

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

Zogby was sketchy earlier in the season, but he was nearly dead on in Pennsylvania, so these numbers might tell a similar story.
In North Carolina, he leads 50 to 34, with 8 saying they’ll vote for somebody else (my guess is it’ll be John Edwards) and 8 remaining undecided.
Here’s more detail…
Clinton leads by 10 points [...]

It’s Clinton/Obama, 46/41 with 13% undecided at this point.
So while it’s likely she’ll win the state, it also appears that Obama will stay competitive and the delegate math will make this one a tie…
Eighty-two percent (82%) of Clinton voters say they are “certain” they will vote for her while 77% of Obama supporters say the [...]

PPP: Hillary Leads By 8 In Indiana

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

Public Policy Polling did the worst in Pennsylvania, but that’s because they overestimated the African American and youth vote. I doubt they’ll do the same in Indiana.
In any event, it’s Clinton/Obama, 50/42.
More from the poll…
Her support is coming from the same groups that she usually does well with- women (54-39), whites (54-38), and older [...]

This guy is sure to be in the VP running if Hillary wins Indiana. But the big question: can his support really help her close the gap?
And another big question: what is the power of the Bayh brand name in Indiana?
