Clinton began polling in Indiana with a double digit margin for victory in february. That lead diminshed in recent weeks and now has been completely eliminated in a new L.A. times poll that places Senator Obama ahead of Senator Clinton by six points with a margin of error of five points. The poll also registers a lead for Obama in the other key May 6th primary in North Carolina. Clinton still maintains her lead in Pensylvania though it has also dropped significantly from early pollings of the contest between the two democratic candidates. This despite constroversial remarks by Senator Obama that were made two days prior to the begining of the polling. No other national polling suggests that Obama's remarks have hurt his standing in the race as he rose in several other national polls, though he is still in a statistical dead heat in Indiana in two other recently released polls conducted prior to this week. If the margin holds true and Obama nets a win in both May 6th primaries it will drasticaly decrease the probability for Hillary Clinton to win a majority of either the popular vote or pledged delegated by the conclusion of the Democratic primaries, in fact it may ensure that it is a statistical impossibility even with the admission of vote tallies in Florida and Michigan.

    • What do you think Hillary's hunting and shooting stories were? I think she got them out of the same bag as her Bosnia story.

      Vote Obama! Put integrity in the White House.

    • He will lose in Pennsylvania and in Indiana he was very stupid to let his true feels known so early before the primary. He tries to hide the truth about how he feels towards people and he always lets it slip.

      In San Fransisco in front of a group were he was try to get funds he stated that the " working class people that live in small towns in Pennsylvania are BITTER people and that they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren’t like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations.”

      Obama really nailed it. I have to give him credit for hanging himself and when he said previously that his pastor Rev. Wright never spoke bad of any ethic group. I THINK HE TOLD A FIB!

      Hillary will win!

      Vote Hillary! Put Experience in the White House!

    • Thanks ocanada, I expect he will take Pennsylvania before it's over. I can't believe the hunters there are impressed with her shooting stories either.
