Things appear to be going Hillary Clinton’s way in the Hoosier State:
Senator Hillary Clinton leads Senator Barack Obama by five percentage points in the Indiana Democratic Presidential Primary. The latest Rasmussen Reports telephone survey of the state finds Clinton attracting 46% of the vote while Obama earns 41%. With just a week to go before Election Day, 13% remain undecided.
Eighty-two percent (82%) of Clinton voters say they are “certain” they will vote for her while 77% of Obama supporters say the same about their decision. Among supporters of each candidate, just 4% say there’s a good chance they will change their mind.
Clinton leads by nineteen percentage points among White voters. Obama leads 90% to 4% among African-Americans.
Obama leads among voters under 40 while Clinton has the edge among older voters. The former First Lady is especially strong among those over 65–she leads by a two-to-one margin among senior citizens.
The survey was conducted Tuesday night. That was after Obama’s denunciation of his former Pastor but before Hoosiers had a chance to see it in the morning newspapers.
Clinton is viewed favorably by 73% of Likely Indiana Primary Voters while Obama earns positive reviews from 70%. Those figures include 46% with a Very Favorable opinion of Clinton and 39% who think that highly of Obama.
Again, a Clinton win in Indiana guarantees that this race is going all the way to the end.
