A new Rasmussen poll shows that John McCain would beat Barack Obama in Pennsylvania, but would lose to Hillary Clinton in what could be a crucial state for Democrats in November:
What a difference two weeks of intense campaigning can make. The final two weeks of campaigning in the Pennsylvania Primary may not have changed the outcome of the Democratic race, but it helped John McCain in the Keystone State.
Two weeks ago, in Pennsylvania, Hillary Clinton enjoyed a nine-point lead over McCain and Barack Obama had an eight-point edge over the Republican hopeful. Now, however, Clinton’s lead is down to five points and Obama trails McCain by a point.
The latest Rasmussen Reports telephone survey in Pennsylvania finds McCain with a statistically insignificant 44% to 43% advantage over Obama. Clinton attracts 47% of the vote against McCain while the Republican earns 42%. In early March, McCain was essentially even with both Democrats.
Several analysts have said that Pennsylvania is a must-hold state for the Democrats in November.
Does the fact that nominating Barack Obama could see that state turn red in November mean anything to Democratic superdelegates ?
I’m just askin’.
