I truly believe that Clinton will actually lose Pennsylvania.

Few more weeks, and we'll see the lead shrink to a statistically insignificant lead, then Obama will loose by 7%, then win the election.
Hilldog!

Obama is going to win, you watch.
It will all be over in Pennsylvania. Penn. voters are too smart, they can see through the thick fog and how Hillary is only detrimental to the Democratic party on all fronts. They will determine who our next President will be. Who would have thunk it - Pennsylvania?

This poll is exactly the same as the previous poll. Does margin of error, mean anything to the people who write this stuff? Not only that, Obama remains at 41%, the same number as the previous poll and Hillary dropped 2% points. Well within the margin of error. I knew the media was pro Obama, but this is getting ridiculous!

This is a great fight between two fierce cometitors. Obama will be well-funded and "Primed" by the primary when he heads into the General Election. I think he"ll be relaxed and confident against McCain after beating HR.

Sorry Barack!

Reminds me of California. Go figure!!

Come on Obama! Come on Pennsylvania! Hillary needs a big win-

God Bless Senator Clinton for her dedication and hard work. She deserves to win.

Senator Obama continues to distort John McCain's "hundred years" comment, despite the fact that he is well aware of its true meaning. Is this Sen. Obama's promise of a new kind of politics? It looks like the same old mudslinging to a growing number of McCain Democrats.

Wake up PA and vote Hillary 2008…she's the right woman for the job or this democrat will vote McCain if Obama wins the nomination.

Obama for Pennsylvania! You have my vote and many others here in Philadelphia.

It seems to me sometimes, that moderator deletes almost all anti Obama posts. And that is very sad.

Very disappointed in Casey. He is turning his back on the people who backed him when he ran for the Senate.

"…a similar poll released earlier this month"? It's the second of April…

The only thing that Rocky and hillary have in common is that they're both ficticious . And unlike Rocky, hillary is a loser .

Isn't this what happened in Ohio?

This is good for the Clinton campaign , so now they should stop making perdictions that they will win certain states because she is the favorite. It should never boil down to I know I got this, but rather campaign with your issues to see if the peple is on the same wave length as you. It is ood that Obama is gaining grounds in Pennsylvania and it also let the American People know that this is a Presidential race for the White House instead of saying I got this as the Clinton campaign always acknowledges.

Obama 08

I still believe that Obama will lose Penn, but I don't think he was really given a chance to win it anyways. Now, with the remaining states to vote I think he'll go something like 6 - 3, which should be enough to secure the nomination.

Here comes the Obama train. All aboard for the White House!

The tea leaves are pretty clear for the Clinton camp…get out of the race so the Democratic party can focus on McCain. I think she has ran a valiant campaign and she should exit with what is left of her honor and integrity intact.

The Quinnipiac Poll is always more in favor of Obama. I wonder what their sample looks like. I also wonder if CNN is making a comparison b/w 2 Quinnipiac polls or 2 polls from different sources.

Clinton will take PA.

Good News! Slowly but surely 'Obama' is inching closer to a possible win in Pennsylvania, which will be very significant for him and for the democratic party as a whole, and in turn for the country.

We certainly need 'Obama' as the president of United States, who is a unique candidate. A Candidate so right for this time, when country is so evenly and perhaps bitterly divided. He can and will unite the country.

A.M. Saqib
Houston, Texas

Yeah boy… go Barack

Funny, how Clinton is able to tell the media what states are important and what states aren't.

Basically, any state Obama is suspected of winning is irrelevant so the media barely recognizes it.

And any state she is expected to win is 'a huge upcoming contest'.

The media is as maleable for Hillary as they were for Bush's war.

A vote for Hillary Clinton means never having to say you're sorry.

Well, when you have so much money from oil companies, you get to spend more on ads that say that you don't take money from oil companies. And why is the media not making this into a story. Obama is lying. Do they just want to protect their precious Obama?

Obama is being unfair to the American Democrats

He will NEVER be able to stand up to McCain

Republicans are being told to vote for him to get Hillary out of the race
The opposite of what you thought. Or did you really think that they would share their strategy with Democrats.

They know that he will not be able to defend his lies about his connection with Rezko and his pastor. He shows no patriotism and his wife didn't help with her comments.

Please support Hillary if you want to win the White House.

Wake up America!

Let the margin get closer and hopefully Obama can close within 5% points or win the PA primary. Come on people of PA.

i always thought that she just wanted power, but then i saw the thing with the 'under sniper fire.'

now i think she's a habitual liar. There was simply no reason to lie about that.

The real reason why Bill Clinton, is really pushing Hillary for President is becauseot the Monica case. He feels bad for what he did in the Whit House. Or he wants to go back into the White House to remember all the good time he had with Monica.

Everyone knows who Hillary Clinton is. That's the simple reason why she starts out with a big lead everywhere and why Obama has to spend so much in advertising so that people know who he is.

The interesting fact is that once they both start getting out in front of voters, holding rallies and so forth, Obama invariably begins gaining on Clinton. Never is it the case that voters say, "I sort of preferred her because I didn't know him, but now that I've met them both I really prefer her."

Obama has upside potential that Hillary Clinton can't touch.

Uh oh! And another poll yesterday had her up by only 5% in PA. If she doesn't at least beat him by 13 points she's not going to be able to claim much of a victory.

Also, recent polls out today show Obama beating McCain in both OH and PA, and he's ahead of Hillary in CA. Looks like Hillary's "big state" argument is dead.

Here we come!

Obama '08

Keep speaking to the issues Obama, and Rocky Hillary and Bullwinkle Bill, will continue show everyone that she isnt worthy of a thought!.

Actually Rasmussen conducted a similiar poll that found it at only 5 points. Hillary may win (may not especially if she recounts any more of her forgeing policy experience memories) but it will not be enough to change the realities of the delegate count or popular vote. I am sure that Icke's and Mark Penn are already constructing another rationalization for her to stay in this campaign.

No surprise, the more you get to know her the more you don't want to know her. To reduce something as important as this election to something as trivial as bowling makes me sick. He should challenge her to a truth-off. He could spot her a decade.

I have news for maistream media. Low income people and minorities can comprehend words with more than two syllables.

Pennsylvania is a Great State and Hillary is a Great Candidate
Now That's a Great Combination

If Obama can somehow upset Hillary in Pennsylvania, it will be the bombshell that officially ends this election! C'mon Pennsylvania!! End this Clinton fiasco for all of us.

Obama 08!!

Clinton might win PA by 10 points, but Obama still leads NC by 15 points. Both states will cancel each other out. Obama will hold his lead, maybe expand it and win the nomination.

I'm from PA and my family is still living there, and the feeling, at least in the northeast around Scranton, is that the more people hear from both candidates close to home, the more people are swinging to Obama. People who were undecided before like what he has to say, like the positive message of his campaign, and are turned off by the tenor of Clinton's campaign. PA is a stubborn place, not quick to change their minds; but they are.

It's a known fact that the longer Obama is on the trail in one state, he closes the gap. Clinton's lead is mostly due to her name recognition. Once people get to know Obama, things start to change rather quickly. His campaign is well organized, and well funded.

Yikes!
I cannot believe how gullible the Democratic party is. Please tell me what Barak Obama is going to do for this country if he eventually becomes president. He is going to turn us into a welfare state and become another Jimmy Carter. A nice guy with a lot of good intentions and nothing to back him up. Yes, he has a lot of diplomatic words. He would make a great envoy, and in about 8-16 years a great president. I live in a caucus state and didn't get a chance to vote. But if Obama is the elected Dem at the convention, he will not get my vote in the November general election. That way, if he wins, I have the right to complain as much as I want when everything he yaps about falls to ruin under the weight of his empty words.

May the best person come out ahead and win the democratic nomination. This fighting is taking a toll on the nation.

She has to win… if she doesn't it will be McCain. Obama is not going to beat McCain. Democrats are in trouble. Saddle up for another 4 years, it's not going to get much better.

Any poll that has a fraction of a percent in it's margin of error is inherently flawed. Your polling data throughout the election has been extremely wrong. Clinton won Ohio and Texas despite your brilliant polls being idiotically wrong! I guess the media doesn't have to answer for its errors when they favor their annointed candidate. What ever happened to accountability with the media? Why not ask yourselves some hard questions like: Why have we been wrong so many times this election?

Clinton will win Pennsylvania by 15% or more! Just you wait and see!

Look, I live in PA (Pittsburgh, to be exact). Hilary is going to win easily, somewhere in the 10-12 point range. You can take that to the bank. Everyone I know is already committed to their candidate, and most are backing Hilary.

Well, I'm just so sure her margin of victory will increase as she regales the fine folks in Pennsylvania with her stories of enduring sniper fire, being in the ring with Rocky Balboa and the hanging of the Liberty Bell.

I'm sure that as the PA voter keys in on the facts, the poll figures will continue to reflect a closer race than many have anticipated there. In fact I would not be surprised if the voters of PA defied the conventional wisdom and voted for a real change per the issues and policies that affect their futures.

GoBama! Still proving that when people take the time to actually know Barack they also want to vote for him. Congratulations to a personable and inspiring leader!

I can only see this lead getting much smaller, He must be outspending her 3 to 1 right now in PA.
Every time i turn the tv on hes got a commercial up.. and every time in in the car. I hear his commercial there to. seems like every 5 minutes its obama

. . . .This means that mill workers and truckers know the meaning
of NAFTA, and who's responsible for it, (and it sure as heck wasn't Rev.
Wright).

Time to throw the whole kitchen at Obama, or maybe even the whole house. Clinton's had been toning down her attacks and strategic "mispeaking" somewhat lately, but I don't see this continuing if she thinks she might lose ground…

Come on Pennsylvania………let's put Clinton first. First for Obama, not now. He appears to be 'too star struck' and not good for a president. All our family is now for Clinton. Go Pennsylvania for Clinton

People are in dire need of change, and Obama represents the change we so badly seek. He will certainly unit a very divided country.

Obama 08

Senator Clinton will win Pennsylvania without a doubt!

Obamas bowling for votes did absolutely nothing for his campaign.

The hard working folks of Pennsylvania are able to see through his "empty suit" mentality; just like OHIO & TEXAS, Clinton will rule in Pennsylvania.

Go Hillary!

The City of Brotherly Love has just become The City of Sisterly Love!

Philadelphia loves you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It once more proves the point that Sen. Obama needed only to spend time in Pennsylvania for them to see who he really is and it appears, they like what they see. I am sure that it will be a closer race then anyone expected…even for the clinton camp. I believe it will be an upset and that Sen. Obama will win Pennsylvania.

Hillary,

you are a LOSER.

My wish is that this campaigne turn upside down in Pennsylvania and all those polls show nothing right and that Obama takes it by a landslide. I wish that we get rid of the electoral college and go to a each persons vote count and make it manadatory to vote. I am so tired of watching each day the new drama of the primaries. I am tired of hearing how the superdelegates are pledging for this one of that one. I want to throw the delegate system out too I want winner take all. I want world peace and schools to teach our children how to be good citizens too while I am at it. I want us to teach everyone to learn to be exceptional at what they want to do. I want to throw away colleges and opt for teaching the old fashion way of Apprenticeships. I did that in the military and it works. I also want to turn our health care system around and put it to the military type of system. See someone trained to screen you and run tests and then off to the doctor if more exams and tests are needed. We are ruining our country with the high cost of everything. and this election just the tip of the iceberg.

I hope Penn puts Clinton ahead. First for Obama, but not now. He appears to be 'too star struck' for a president, and this is not good. All our family is for Clinton now. Do not be afraid to vote for a woman president. There is women doctors, lawyers, and the majority of our teachers are women….who teach our children. And all the mothers who teach their children. AMerica, think about this. And thanks.

Hillary and Rocky???I think this person is completetly loosing it. If she can't win fair and square than she will do anything to get the nod. This power hungry maniac simply cannot win this nomination. If she does, and the American people are stupid enough to be led around by a hateful, spiteful candidate just because she's a woman, than I fear the United States will never ever have a chance at greatness. Obama is our only hope….Hillary and Bill, so many skeletons in the closets, so many favors owed……DO NOT vote for this woman, I truly believe she will ruin this wonderful world.

Meanwhile, Barack Obama has a double digit lead over Clinton in national polls.

Awesome. =D

This is consistent with campaign so far. She seems to do well until she and her surrogates show up to campaign in the state and then it's downhill from there. She starts out with huge leads and then she loses them . Go figure, this is one candidate who is more attractive from a distance than up close.

Again, polls are stupid. No matter where you check, there are no two alike. Also, why is that bloggers show a different poll than MSM shows?

If Hilary's lead narrows more than that,with the proportional arrangement of allocating delegate in place,she is done.The poll better not be correct or else she's finished.

Anything less than 10 points is a loss for Clinton

Each candidate is raising approximately $1,000,000 a day for their campaign…let's pause for a minute and think about how many hungry people that would feed, or help health-wise…AMAZING. The only people benefiting now, is the media through commercials.

One candidate is going to concede in the race, having had probably 'wasted' over $200,000,000.

Adrienne: "You can't win!!!"

Rocky: I'll be back…

Obama: Wrong movie woman…

This race is over! Obama leads in every major category - including the most important one - fund raising. Hillary is broke and is having trouble meeting past financial obligations never the less future ones. Obama rasies money almost as fast as the government prints it. Money is what it takes to win - Obama has the money - everything else is rhetoric - IT'S OVER ! ! !

Hasn't the polls and endorsements proven to be INEFFECTIVE?

Next topic, CNN!

Clinton might have a better chance in winning over many more voters if the media stopped their smear campaign against her!

Obama is thugging and cheating and buying his way to the nomination.

The vote that counts is in Nov.

Would someone remind the "Dillusional H.R.C" that "Rocky" was a movie!! "Sniper" was also a film!!

That's right…Get Her Obama….She needs a big win not a 5 point win!!! Obama would carry Penn in the Election with that king of loss in the primary anf we all know it!

It's not this close… you'll see. She is still recovering from last week. The Wright story isn't going away and Obama's numbers will be significantly different from the polls.

Check out Newsweeks article on the senate experience of both candidates and the false impression that Obama has done more than Clinton. The facts speak for themselves, her record is very impressive.

If Hillary is not the nominee, I am writing her name in because she is the best person for this country. I will support her to the end… and so will Pennsylvania… you'll see.

Hillary Clinton '08

Sen Obama needs to focus on Lil McBush and let Hillary continue to stick her foot in her mouth. There will be at least one other skeleton to come out of her closet from her days as first lady before the PA primaries that will narrow her lead or give the lead to Obama.

He's the "Closer." And it's going to get even closer!!!

Obama '08

Hillary knows she can's win but wants to bloody up Obama so badly that McCain wins in November. That way, Hillary will be able to run again in four years. Ah, the peculiar ways of the Clinton political machine!

Don't you love these polls….last week 53 to 41 this week 50 to 41 with a MARGIN of error of 2.5 points.

Translation: 1/2 point lost 52.5 to 41

Early in March, Gov. Rendell said Clinton 'won' Penn….. so, I guess it's a done deal… Too bad for Obama. The real will of the people will not be heard there.

That gap is closing.

My question is, after the next four or eight years of the next American president, will president Bush;s wife or his brother race for the white house and if not will Chelsea Clinton come for presidency-

I find it strange that CNN will only show the polls that favor Obama. Last week CNN displayed a poll that showed Obama's national lead expanding and today it shows a poll that Clintons Pennsylvannia lead is shrinking. However, it failed to show the polls of yesterday that indicate that Obama's national lead has shrunk by 6 points over the last few days down to 4 points.

How can Hillary not get this? You can't come on as a change candidate and then resort to old school election techniques to get elected. This is a new era of a voter that is informed more than ever. Her tactics come off as desperate. The American people (and 41% of Pennsylvanians) realize that she will do anything to get elected. We've had seven years of deceit and being lied to, we're sick of it and we want honesty and unity in America again. She doesn't embrace that.

Time works for Obama, the worse thing theu could done was give him 6 weeks to a primary. He'll be refreshed AND WILL CONQUER THE STATE. i DOUBT VERY MUCH IF CLINTON WINS. IF SHE DOES, IT WILL BE BY A SMALL MARGIN…

PA will continue to see what everyone else already knows. Obama is what America needs. Make it happen PA!

We did here in TX

Obama 08!

Her lead with further disolve if the media picks up on other Clinton lies. A new story released yesterday Clinton was involved in scandals from her first days in politics. The article is titled: Watergate-Era Judiciary Chief of Staff: Hillary Clinton Fired For Lies, Unethical Behavior. It comes from North Star Writers Group.

Hillary: "GET ELECTED OR LIE TRYING"

Come on CNN. This is ONE of many polls that has come out and Hillary is still WAY in the lead.

Considering the great outspending on TV ads ,Obamas campaign not only have the greater advantage as they had in Ohio and Texas as well ,but seem to not make up groundwork according to their big dollars spent.
It seems that voters are not that easily influenced when it comes to their concerns and expectations regarding what they look for in a presidential candidate.
Plus the fact that money can not buy an advantage should reflect seriously the electability factor of Obama in all the key general election state.He has yet to show that he can win there and this casts heavy doubts Obama could ever succeed if nominated to the general election in November.

The people seem to change their minds every day.

After Nov… we are stuck with who we get.

So vote wisely. This is an election not an audition for American Idol.

Hillary supporters always have the option of writing her in in Nov or vooting for McCain if it comes down to that.

Either way, a fixed election that was won by bias, corruption and disenfranchising fellow democrats will not stant.

A new Quinnipiac poll shows Hillary leading in key swing states. In Florida, she leads McCain 44-42 while Obama trails McCain by 9 points. In Ohio, Hillary leads McCain 48-39 while Obama is only ahead of McCain by 1. Read more.

I just visited Pittsburgh this past weekend and holy heck, I must have seen an Obama ad every commercial break. I'm telling you, it's bordering on mind control. If Clinton didn't already have name recognition, there's no way she'd stand a chance with the amount of advertising this guy is able to buy.

The people of Pennsylvania are beginning to see Hillary for what she is, a devisive, power hungry, Washington insider. She has alienated half of her own party and all of the opposition. She cannot win in the general election. I believe that most Democrats know that Obama is the only chance in the general election.

The recent Rasmussen Report has one glaring conclusion: Clinton's negatives repeat state after state.

Even if disaster strikes, and Clinton is nominated (shudder), the McCain camp will bulldoze over her with results of this report, and many other polls across America.

I find the Democratic Party leadership weak in its lack of efforts to reign in the Clintons for the good of the party and the country.

As Clinton stubbornly fights a battle she cannot win legitimitely - and in that sense she is nothing like Rocky - McCain is trouncing around the country, making nice with people. The increase in his numbers in the recent poles should be a loud warning bell for the Democrats. However, the evil spell of the Clintons on the Democratic Party still overshadows logic and common sense.

If McCain wins, he need not look any further than Clinton to thank.

She's supposed to stand on her own two feet, yet she has Bill out there day in and out laying the ground work for her. No one is paving the way for Senator Obama!!! So who really is tougher? Someone who goes out on their own to fight the fight and is still beating Clinton or someone who has an ex popular President clearing the brush for her.

The Republicans will play all those tapes of her up on YouTube in every exaggeration she's been caught in throughout the general election to slam home her lack of credibility.

Last week we found out her fantasy was to be Rambo, landing in Bosnia and dodging sniper fire…..this week she wants to be Rocky Balboa.

The people are saying enough already and she has no one to blame but herself.

must be a lot of older people in PA. uneducated, too.

The narrowing of Clinton lead should not come as a surprise to anyone. We all know the more time Obama spent in the campaign trail the more voters get to know him and its position better. Believe it or not in mid April the candidates will be neck and neck.

I guess Obama is Rocky in the state of PA. He is the one who has been given no chance to win in that state. Now he is making his way back. Look out Clinton!!

Once again if she wins it'll be slim. Her gains will be minimal. Her irrelevance confirmed yet one more time.

this guy barack will become history about a month from today,he has never had anything to offer except big change meaning your pocket change, i think he needs to become Hillay vice president at least for eight years until he learns something about economy and other important issues ,because so far he has not offered a single solution to our complicated problems that we are facing in this country ,please barack hossein face the reality,you are simply a bully.

Ms Hillary Clinton For 2008

Three weeks to go, and the gap keeps closing. I'm cautiously optimistic about Obama's chances. Add at least a close finish in PA to a big win in North Carolina and a likely victory in Indiana, and it seems like Clinton is not long for this race. I just hope that after those contests, when it's REALLY impossible for her to win, that she'll finally drop out.

When is this going to end Hillary you are ruining are chances in the general election. We know you are a fighter and now is the time to help your party and except defeat. If Obama was in this situation he would not be selfish and he would help his party to win the general election. Time to let it go, the more this goes on the unsatbility the country see's in the democratic party.

Please end this for the sake of are Country

Obama/Hillary 08

oops. i thought she was suppossed to win by 20 % or so. isn't she rocky?

Everyone needs to read "Hell to Pay" by Barbara Olson, then decide if they still support Hillary.

PPP (D) 03/31 - 04/01
1224 LV
Clinton: 43%
Obama: 45%

Obama +2.0%

Evidently Obama is buying the election as he has soooooooooo much money! We really need to look at public financing and caps on campaigns and spend that money on health care and other programs for needy people.

Hillary will win PA…. and the nomination. Obama is unelectable!

I was told CNN only allows comments that support Obama…..hopefully this is not true.
I think the fascinating fact about the Democratic race in the various state primaries is how much more money Obama spends compared to Hillary Clinton (for every dollar Clinton spends, Obama spends $5.00) and how much the media favors Obama. With all Obama's money (from Oprah and the Pritzkers,etc) and with the media treating Obama like he's the next JFK, the next RFK, the next Martin Luther King, Jr., the next Nelson Mandela, and EVEN THE SECOND COMING OF THE MESSIAH, you would think he SHOULD be winning by at least a few points! GEEESH, when is all this biased media and money going to finally put Obama in the lead? Maybe the people really want Senator Clinton!!!

CNN ………Please stop trying to make the race more interesting. I swear I wish it wasn't so long before the next contest, because the media is running out of hype.

Hillary has had a genuine patriotic fire burning in her for more than 35 years and her record shows her heart and fight for all Americans, is a fire that will never burn out. Her time is far overdue for us to honor her with the key to the White House! This is our patriotic duty! She has earned it. She will never let us down! HILLARY 2008!

With nine state to go it is not over until the fat lady sings.
So quite the gripping for one of the candidates to drop out.

Obama stayed at 41% where did the other 3% go? Could be an error, in poll?

This is April 2nd; how much "earlier this month" could the previous poll have been? Maybe it was last month.

I have $20 on 04-16-08 for Clinton to start slinging the mud and lies again. Any other takers??

By comparing with fictional charecters like rocky
hillary is also becoming fictional president.who can bowl on day one

I have been listening to Lou Dobbs bash Obama for weeks now. I believe he harbors a resentment against Obama because of a comment that Obama made against Dobbs comments on "illegal immigration." I am surprised that CNN will allow him to use their network as a "hot spot" to vent his personal agenda against Obama. He took as poll on his show about media bias against Hillary that reflected that the media has been bias toward her. That poll only reported 619 votes, in which 310 voted "yes to bias. I hardlly believe that 619 votes equate to an "overwhelming percentage of voters," as Dobbs continues to report on for the past two days. He is using this weak poll to bash Obama. SAVE IT FOR HIS RADIO SHOW, CNN should not allow him to keep using their network to drumm up votes for Hillary by bashing Obama. Bias against Hillary is a joke.

I like Hillary. She is a remarkable woman, but am sorry to say that she is not a remarkable Politician. As we have seen in the past, once Obama steps in wherever he hadnt been before, he really makes a big difference/change. Thats what we call a momentum! Obama is really a remarkable Politician!

Sorry,i just checked Fox news the lead has actually been narrowed to just 5 points.CNN,please update

You need not post just get your fact updated

Surprise, surprise!!

I live in PA, I don't know one Obama supporter. I guess We'll see in a few weeks. All of my family, friends and co-workers, all Democrats are voting for Hillary. If she's not nominated, it'll be McCain for us in the fall, Obama isn't ready to run the country in our eyes, maybe next time.

I just wish she would get out now and run as an Independent in the general.

CNN - Stop!

Lead is lead. CNN has started again. You said it in Ohio, you said it in CA. You have always been wrong - You will be wrong again.

I am not sure how much Obama paid you to do this for him but Hillary win win the nomination and general election at the end.

Go Hillary!

Hillary is our choice.

Nothing new here. As we get closer to Election Day Senator Obama as always closed the gap in the polls. This started in Iowa and has continued. The end is near. Senator Clinton can not hold onto her lead although she is the establishment candidate. People want to see change, real change.

My boy! GOBAMA!! Come clinton supporters, you have to admit. The kid got skills. Let's just rally around him and win the November elections.

Hillary, we're still waiting on release of your tax records.

If the polls get narrower it doesnt matter, remember what happened in New Hampshire and some other states. Penns. is hardcore and not listening to a few pollsters to change their mind.

As people start to think more about Obama's 20 year relationship with Reverend Wrong who blames 9/11 on the victims and the indicted Tony Rezko, who helped him buy his house while average Americans are losing theirs, Clinton's lead will grow larger.

Go Obama! And he will catch her as he always does.

Is there a reason CNN only reports polls that favor senator Obama? The change was minor and doesn't even require reporting. CNN reported 2 days ago that Obama had a double digit lead nationally per Gallup, but than stopped reporting the Gallup numbers when Clinton narrowed the lead to 4 points in the 2 subsequent polls. Pull up your pants CNN, your bias is showing.

After Hillary's Rocky Balboa slip up yesterday, she's going to lose a lot more ground in PA.

Hillary said she was just like Rocky Balboa…"I never get up."

This is just like Kerry saying "Lambert Field" instead of Lambeau Field. A couple Wisconsin sports heros have ties to Pennsylvania. Packers coach Mike McCarthy and Badgers basketball coach Bo Ryan.

Don't mess up when talking about our legends.

Two interesting posts at HUffington Post this morning…

1. A response by Gov. Richardson to the James Carville attack and his endorsement of Obama.

2. An account of Bill Clinton losing his temper and yelling at the Superdelegates in CA.

Both show the stark differences between the tone of the Clinton campaign and the Obama campaign.

This is not good!!!!

All depends on the results from the Rezko trial.

I got new news for ya. He leads by 2 points in latest poll.

Are you surprised? I knew he was gonna cover the gap! Obama is ma man!

Gov Rendell must feel like the spouse who wakes up one morning, looks at his/her partner and can't remember why they married the person.

Honey, the more we see ya, the less we like ya.

That's what having a bankrupt candidacy will get you.

Another proof if needed that Obama will be the nominee AND the next President of the United States.

i hate to say it but obama will win and hillary needs to quit now - mccain is plotting his strategy while we are fighting - we need to unify the party and end this mess….i'm tired - i'm i the only one?

why don't you add a disclaimer about how this is just one poll and a bunch of others are still giving hillary a larger lead, cnn?

why must you be the queen of bad reporting?

Obama can't win the swing states needed to win in November. The recent poll in Florida shows Clinton beating McCain but Obama getting beat by McCain easily. In order to win in November the candidate must win Pennsylvania, New Jesery, Florida and Ohio. Obama can't carry any of those.

I sure would like to see Obama win PA. But either way, it will be a good day for America when Obama wins the nomination.

Unlike Ohio, nobody in PA is going to fall for her *victim* and *angry* acting again.

The Obama camp has been very reserved in attacking her lies on NAFTA and her experience. But I expect this to change in the weeks to come.

If Hillary is lucky, she may gain 3 or 4 delegates from PA.

Obama is not a quitter Hillary. But Hillary is not a fighter - she's just too self-absorbed to set her ego aside.

The longer the primary season, the stronger Obama gets and cracks in the Clinton machine widen.

We are counting on all of you in Penn to help choose the right democratic candidate to take part in a great debate with McCain.

Obama 2008

Throw your polls in garbage CNN.

Regarding Clinton's Rocky comparisson, doesn't see know that Rocky loses his first fight for the title?

testing testing 1,2,3. Healthcare, economy, superdelegates, test, test, Obama, test Hillary. Ok

i guess its true after the all the more people get to know Hillary the less they like her and the more people get to know Obama the more they like him

Very interesting. YAHOO titled this same news story "Clinton Leads Obama McCain in Key Match Ups." Your title is "Clinton Lead Narrows in Pennsylvania." Careful CNN. Your bias is showing.

It's only a matter of time before Obama closes the gap. Hillary has no chance at winning the nomination regardless of what the pundits say. Let’s get real people.

Obama 08

She will continue to lose here lead. This is what happens when the public finds out your a pathological liar

CNN! Please shut up!

You never tell us the truth. We all know you are pro-Obama

However, Obama has no way to become US president even nominee!

Shame on you! CNN!

Where is my comment Cnn? You corrupt journalist! Wait until the election is over, some of you might find yourself under investigation and or fired! If you want fact, and unbiased coverage go to Fox!

It seems like Americans are continuously being blinded by obama's message of change!! What a load of BS!!

If he does become president (God forbid) I hope he proves me right - for the sake of all you dumb idiots supporting him, i hope he turns out to be the opposite of what he's selling himself for. Maybe then, when it's too late, you'll realize that trusting the first joe blow promising change isn't always the best policy.

GO HILLARY!!!

Clinton's insistance on all states voting and having Florida and Michigan count in fairness to voters seems a little hollow when she then turns around and suggests that pledged delegates should not cast their vote at the convention based on the votes in those states. How is that fair to those voters?

. . . .9 / 11 Commisioner Lee Hamilton is endorsing Senator Obama. He clearly wants Senator Obama answering the phone.

Obama 08.

Common Pennsylvannia, why are you voting for a loser, vote for the eventual winner Obama. Americans like winners not losers.

We all know that with 3 more weeks to go before the Pennsylvania Primaries, Obama would have closed the gap on Sen. Clinton.

OBAMA WILL WIN PENNSYLVANIA.

Keep on pumping up Obama CNN. If he wins it will be because of the media.

Hillary 08

That's what happens when you lie about dodging bullets and offer a non-apology like "I'm human."

Here we go again… I dont understand why is CNN hell bent on reflecting Hillary is not preferred.
Again, every thing seems to be fair in politics..
But reporting and journalism could be better…
So typical…before every election.. they come out with the same story …Hillary trailing…Hillary trailing..

Do whatever this woman has guts of steel and she will be just fine…

She WILL make it to the White House…

Thanks CNN for your enlightening Hillary negating tickers

HILLARY '08… Even stronger HILLARY '08

It's amazing how Obama can outspend Clinton 3-1. I really wonder how this once unknown candidate could have accrued so much money - certainly not from online $20 donations. Goes to show he still has to spend more to catch up with her.

are you supprise???we all know obama's ability to catch up.he has ran a remarkable campaign.his ground game is major.

You're pathetic CNN. You're campaign against Sen. Clinton would make William Randolph Hearst and other smear journalists proud.

plus he is going to be the nominee.hillary has no chance.it's time the media starts,telling it like it is.

Clinton's momentum? May I remind you she lost in Texas.
I recall her husband saying that she was NOT going to be the nominee if she doesn't win Texas.
Well now..SHE LOST. Clinton has NO momentum!

OBAMA '08

CNN does not understand the "margin of error". With a plus or minus 2.5 % error, how can you claim anything substantial about a 3% drop? It is so misleading it is to put such a statistically negligible drop as your news topic.

100% for Clinton!

Is that the sound of the Fat Lady taking a deep breath in?

"A convincing win in Pennsylvania is seen as crucial for Clinton as she seeks to end the primary season with enough momentum to swing the majority of undecided superdelegates her way."

It has been stated time and time again that when asked, superdelegates agree that overturning the popular vote and/or the delegate counts is not an option. That being said, there is nothing Hillary can do to win this thing. Even if we were to include delegates and popular votes from MI and FL, she would still have to win the rest of the races in order to pull of the upset.

Most analysts (reports, pundits, vegas odd-makers) put her chances at less than 10%.

We would be smart to put our energy into helping Obama win the general election so a Democrat can sit in the White House for the next 8 years.

Polls are like scales…weighing yourself daily makes you lose sight of the long term goal. Tomorrow, Mrs. Clinton will be back up 4-5 points and it will all mean the same thing - absolutely nothing.

GO HILLARY '08

This comes to show how good of a campaigner obama is, Hilary Clinton trouble she just does not want to accept it. But reality will come to her soon. When she is in trouble she will make Florida and Michigan an issue. But alot of people see how the Clinton,s play dirty politics but this time it,s not going to work in to there favour.

He's like a fine wine, he get's better with time.
You know this CNN and don't fall for this Hillary is getting the negative media coverage again because it is not true. She had no complaints when Obama was getting all the coverage because of Rev. Wright.

Looks like the Obama pattern: close the lead in the big states, then fail. Obama is even ahead in one poll (PPP). Of course, this is the same poll that had Hillary within 1 point in NC.

It's the same pattern we've seen in other states, like Texas. HRC has a big lead, Obama campaigns hard over several weeks, her lead shrinks significantly and quickly. Even when she wins a state like PA, this trend still shows her inability to hold a big lead as she campaigns and it almost feel like a loss in a way.

I think this trend shows the real strength of each candidate and the direction their campaigns are headed.

Funny how a 9 point lead is seen as faltering. Hillary can't seem to get a break from CNN, no matter what she does.

Nader and Hillary: The dream ticket.

CNN please post.

OBAMA is LEADING in the newest Public Policy Poll.

Resistance is futile Hilary!

CNN is really something. I just read " Poll: Hillary Clinton ahead in two key states" put out by the AP. You ignore this and instead put out "Clinton falters in key state"!! Even though she is ahead by 9 points! Do you still want to tell me you are not biased in Obama's favor? This is just one example of many as many readers besides myself have noticed. Try stating facts without distortion. You guys have lost all credability. I will also be surprised if you don't censor this.

Here goes the CNN Obama network again. If the margin of error is 2.5 %, there is no way of knowing she has slipped at all but of course you have to show your true colors and twist the truth in favor of your candidate. I think it is time to switch to PBS where objectivity is still possible!

This is scary for Clinton - she probably has to win by 15-20 points just to pick up the delegates she needs going forward.

I am still voting for Hillary Clinton on the Oregon May 20 primary ballot.

After all these months and listening to all of Obama's speeches and conversations on talk shows, I still haven't heard him say anything substantial about anything.

I will vote for Hillary in May and in November, even if she is not on the ballot.

This is the last state in which Clinton can make any large gains on his delegate lead, so Obama just needs to keep the gap as narrow as possible. She needs to win, what, 2/3 of the remaining delegates to catch him? That means she needs to win Pennsylvania by more than 30 points! But when she doesn't, I am sure the "big state" argument will be rolled out, heck, it will be rolled out regardless. I hope the DNC has flak jackets for the delegates when they get to Denver!

The end is near for Hillary. Her strident and divisive tone, making mountains out of molehills, making false statements, and aggressively attacking per Karl Rove, is NOT working. It's backfiring. There's nowhere for her to go but OUT. Let the voters decide. They will decide she is old school and repulsive.

im sorry hillary has won 14 states all togeather lol

Obama 08

Uh oh.

The folks of PA are smarter than that. Obama will loose PA by double digits. If he manages to win the nomination, he cant win in Nov. There are too many Clinton supporters like me who will vote McCain if he does. I have never supported a single republican candidate in my life but will do anything I can to help defeat Obama and urge all Clinton supporters to do the same. Then, hopefully Obama will go away, never to be seen or heard from again.

To Hillary I say hang in there. Even though the wheels seem to be turning against you. I am a lifelong democrat who will not support Obama in the fall, so the poll saying 28% of us won't vote is absolutely true. I find that I can support someone who would lie on his mother,father, and grandmother just to be commander in chief. but then again why wouldn't he when his record shows he hasn't been truthful about Rev. Wright or Tony Rezho. People keep screaming change but what has Obama done for his own state since he has no other experience to speak of. Family is the most important aspect for me in this race. Speaking as a single African American mother if my child lied about the circumstances of their birth I would feel ashamed. Lying for political gain is an old school practice. So much for change.

This happens all the time;

Obama always goes in the polls and Clinton always comes down.

May be Obama's campaign is much better than the so-called ClintonCampaign Machine.

This shows that, the more people get to know Obama the more they like him, and the more people get to know Hillary, the more they hate her.

It might be narrow, but she leads and we will win Pennsylvania………no wonder they want her to drop out they're really feeling the heat now…….Go Hillary!!!!!

For the sake of the nation Senator Clinton should wrap up her presidential quest now to preserve the Democrats chances of winning in November.

If the MSM would do their job fairly,I doubt we would see these poll numbers, But they are helping dems move to the Rep,so maybe they are doing their job,

From the same poll:

Hillary does better against McCain in the critical battleground states of OH, PA and FL than Obama does.

And these are MUST WIn states for the democrats in November.

So much for the Obama supporter's "electability argument".

Also - Gallup daily tracking poll had Obama over Clinton by 10 points late last week - that lead has now narrowed to 4 points.

The Rasmussen report poll show the lead is even narrower with Clinton with 47% to Obama 42%. After Clinton having a 26 point lead a couple weeks ago, I thing a change is coming!

The media is powerful.

Pro Clinton - Clinton still holding a comfortable lead.

Pro Obama - Clinton lead narrows.

Hillary is defending herself against the media, republican and obama.

She is still leading. What is that tell you?

Hillary has a better plan. But the media is scaring the people.

BUggs bunny poll has BO way higher why not report that poll instead I think it is like 20 point advantage obama

OHHHHH and to you people Obama really won texas…..he recieved more delegates

The original title of "Clinton lead narrows in Pennsylvania" is more neutral than the new one of "Clinton falters in hey state, poll says": a clear example of media bias???

**Superdelegate Pool**

The superdelegates will coalesce on April 23 at 9:35am

CNN is trying its best to stop Clinton,using the word "falters" doesn't seems right; and last time CNN said Ohio is too close to call, and Clinton won by 10 points.

The original title of "Clinton lead narrows in Pennsylvania" is more neutral than the new one of "Clinton falters in key state, poll says": a clear example of media bias???

Obama/Edwards 08!! Democrats United!!!!

Still wondering - Hillary can draw zero from any Republican - and few actual independents (and after "misrepresenting" Obama…aka lying about…I'm sure that many will not vote for her either) - I'm wondering HRC supporters….what exactly are you supporting?? I'm really curious….her positions are inconsistent….and not backed with solid plans or facts….

With Hillary's divisive and deceitful personality, second-to-none attitude, and say-anything-do-anything strategies, all her detailed plans and solutions will be just as useless as her failed heath care plan.

Bill Clinton is such a bad and shameful memory. Hillary willingly chooses to carry this negative baggage to enhance her political dreams. Hillary is a terrible example for women who try to stand up on their own.

Update: It's now down to 6% according to RCP!!! That's an almost 11% swing in a few weeks!!!

Obama 08

If Obama wins, McCain will be our next president. If Hillary wins, she will become the president. Simply because the Clinton supporters I know will not vote for Obama. Some say they won't vote at all and some say they will go for McCain.

Funny how a 9 point lead is seen as faltering. Hillary can't seem to get a break from CNN, no matter what she does.

Why is there no post about Lee Hamilton endorsing Barack Obama? You know, the highly regarded co-chairman of the Iraq report.

Not bad

A 9 point lead is faltering? Obama's still at 41% and the margin of error pretty much keeps it at the same level. CNN is trying a bit too hard to reach for a headline (anything to be Anti-Clinton). What about the polls showing Hillary significantly ahead in Ohio and Florida (why not post those?)

The vaneer of Hillary's "Champion of democracy" is wearing thin. At this point, the alienation she has created by using an "US vs. THE REST OF THEM" mentality (within the Dem Party itself), has grown tiresome for Democratic Party faithful. Fairminded Dems who truly believe in the process see her actions as a form of supression by insinuating an "all or nothing" strategy, that the Party is about loyalty to her or not at all. She has become a wildcard and loose cannon within the party, holding her followers as virtual hostages that she might manipulate to not vote, flip to McCain or follow her as an independent. Dems cannot afford for this to blow up at the Convention. We need to plan for an endgame to this that is fair, transparent and beyond dispute.

Doesn't bode well! To remain in serious contention she needs to win in Pennsylvania, and win big, very big, and the momentum, slight though it may be, is against her. If Obama takes North Carolina solidly then her only good option is a rules committee fight over Fl & Mi at the convention.
