Poll: Clinton's Lead Shrinking In Southwest Pa.
PITTSBURGH, Pa. (CBS) ―
The race for the Democratic presidential nomination between Senators Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama just got a little tighter here in Pennsylvania.
In the latest exclusive SurveyUSA KDKA-TV news poll released today, Hillary Clinton would still win if the election were held today, 53 percent to 41 percent.
But, compared to our poll conducted three weeks ago, Clinton is down two points and Obama is up five points, almost entirely because of a switch of men to the Obama camp.
Clinton had led by 19, but that lead has now narrowed to 12.
When it comes to support from men, Clinton had led by 5, now trails by 7, which is a 12-point swing to Obama.
Among women, Clinton had led by 30, now leads by 28, largely unchanged.
Among voters age 50+, Clinton had led by 26, now leads by 22.
Among voters under 50, Clinton had led by 12, now leads by 2, a 10-point swing to Obama.
In Southwest Pa., which includes Pittsburgh, Clinton had led by 31, now by 17, a 14-point swing to Obama.
Among Conservative Democrats, and among Pro-Life Democrats, there is movement to Obama.
Clinton continues to dominate among voters focused on the Economy (#1 issue) and Health Care (#3) issue.
Obama has gained ground but Clinton continues to lead among voters focused on Iraq (#2 issue).
The margin of error in our poll is ± 4.1percent.
