Clinton's Lead Cut to 5 in Latest PA Rasmussen Poll
According to yesterday's Rasmussen poll in Pennsylvania:
Senator Hillary Clinton’s lead in the Pennsylvania Primary is shrinking. The latest Rasmussen Reports telephone survey in Pennsylvania shows Clinton leading Barack Obama by just five percentage points, 47% to 42%. For Clinton, that five-point edge is down from a ten-point lead a week ago, a thirteen-point lead in mid-March and a fifteen-point advantage in early March.
Support for Clinton slipped from 52% early in March, to 51% in mid-month, 49% a week ago, and 47% today. During that same time frame, support for Obama has increased from 37% to 42%.
You can see the poll's questions and results here. The phone survey contacted 730 Dem primary voters. Margin of error plus/minus 4%.
By the way, Obama won the most delegates in Texas after allocations were completed during this weekend's Dem county conventions in the state. Combining the results of both the Texas primary and caucuses, Obama won a total of 99 delegates to Clinton's 94.
