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 [...]

It’s Clinton/Obama, 46/41 with 13% undecided at this point.

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), [...]

That’s the math from CQ Politics: There are 72 pledged delegates at stake in the Indiana primary, along with 13 of those officially unpledged party leaders and elected officials known as “superdelegates.” Of those 72 pledged delegates, 47 are allocated among the state’s nine congressional districts and will be apportioned between Clinton and Obama based [...]

Here’s more: In a Democratic Primary in Indiana today, 04/28/08, 8 days until votes are counted, Hillary Clinton finishes ahead of Barack Obama, according to a [...]

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? From Politico: Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton aren’t the only senators with a [...]

Two days in a row. At the very least the Clinton’s effort to make it seem like she can win is working. The details… These results, based on April 24-26 polling, are the second report in which all interviews have been conducted after Clinton’s Tuesday Pennsylvania primary win, and suggest that Democratic voters are — [...]

Very tight… Sen. Barack Obama holds a narrow lead over Sen.

Actually, he leads by 1%, but we all know that’s a tie at this point. From WISH TV: Barack Obama leads in the WISH-TV Indiana poll, though by the smallest of margins. The numbers are Obama 48, Clinton 47. Three weeks ago our poll showed Hillary Clinton with a lead 49 to 46. [...] The [...]

From North Carolina and Indiana no less. From NY Times: Barack Obama rolled out three more superdelegate endorsements Wednesday, all of them coming from North Carolina and Indiana, which hold their Democratic primaries May 6.

Here are the numbers: Pennsylvania Clinton 46, Obama 41 Indiana Obama 40, Clinton 35 North Carolina Obama 47, Clinton 34 Also, LA Times has some realities about BitterGate and RevWrightGate: In Pennsylvania, the flap seems to have marginally helped Obama more than hurt him: 24% said his [...]

Polls suggest that the take from Pennsylvania, North Carolina and Indiana will basically result in a net tie in pledged delegates between the two candidates for those three states, so that leaves only the superdelegates to decide this thing. Forbes does the remaining math… Real Clear Politics does not have poll numbers for the remaining [...]

The primary is on May 6th, but this one is already starting to shape up as a toss up. From South Bend Tribune: In a sample of 400 likely Democratic primary voters, Clinton would reap 49 percent of the vote and Obama would earn 46 percent of the vote if the election were held today. [...]

Having the support of Evan Byah should help quite a bit, but will Hillary see this lead start to shrink like we’ve seen in Pennsylvania in the past week? From SurveyUSA: In a Democratic Primary in Indiana today, 04/01/08, 5 weeks until votes are counted, Hillary Clinton defeats Barack Obama 52% to 43%, according to [...]
