 The race appears to be narrowing in Pennsylvania.
The race appears to be narrowing in Pennsylvania.

(CNN) — The Democratic presidential race is tightening in the key state of Pennsylvania, according to a new CNN analysis of recent polls there.

In the latest CNN "poll of polls," Hillary Clinton now holds a 7 point lead over Obama, 49 percent to 42 percent. Nine percent remain unsure of their vote.

That gap is 4 points narrower than a similar CNN poll of polls conducted Friday. In that average, Clinton held an 11 point lead, 51 percent to 40 percent.

The most recent poll of polls included recent surveys from the American Research Group, Muhlenberg College, and Quinnipiac University.

A decisive win in Pennsylvania's April 22 primary vote is seen as crucial for Clinton as she seeks to finish the primary season with enough momementum to convince the party's undecided superdelegates to give her the nomination.

Obama support in Iowa   April 7th, 2008 9:13 am ET

It's time to unite behind Barack Obama. I hope we can come together so that we will win in November and take back our Government. I hope and pray that Hillary can help us heal and unite.

dEMABRAT   April 7th, 2008 9:13 am ET

I am not so sure that the CNN poll offers a clear picture on the pulse of PA.

Waaaiit a minute   April 7th, 2008 9:15 am ET

Here he comes. I love this kid!

Eric   April 7th, 2008 9:16 am ET

Could he possibly WIN Penn and end this thing? It's looking like a possibility but no matter what this is good news as Hillary and her fans are hoping for a win by a "huge" margin. Anything less than a 10% win will be a loss.

She's now polling down 23% in North Carolina and I can tell you as a North Carolinian she has no shot here.

The race is over. The race has been over. In the end they'll be able to seat Michigan (where she won 50-45 as the ONLY name on the ballot) and Florida (where she was the ONLY candidate to campaign) because those votes will not put her over the top.

Wouldn't it be great if the delegates that Obama won from Michigan and Florida were the ones that put HIM over the top? :)

HILLARY IS BEING FOUND OUT TO BE A HIPOCRATE AND A LIAR

Angus McDugan   April 7th, 2008 9:17 am ET

Watch your back Barack. Now that it has been proven that Hillary is an all out liar and that she cannot manage her staff, she is going to "do what ever it takes" to win.

Mel in Montana   April 7th, 2008 9:18 am ET

After seeing Senator Obama speak in Missoula, Montana Saturday morning, I believe that he will do whatever needs to be done to get our country on the right track. Young, old, conservative, liberal, middle-of -the road voters…they were all there listening to his powerful message of change.

The politics of hope will be what takes us in the right direction after years of 'good ol' boy' political practices in the beltway…the nation needs a real leader and that leader is Barck Obama!

Bernhard / Germany   April 7th, 2008 9:18 am ET

Here is an actual poll among readers of the conservative german business daily Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung:

39113 Votes!

49,64% for Barack Obama
20,36% for Hillary Clinton
15,68% Think that all three would be better than Bush
14,32% for John McCain

That is a pretty clear message from abroad…

brenda   April 7th, 2008 9:19 am ET

i BELIEVE THAT hILLARY cLINTON IS THE MOST QUALIFIED CANIDATE AS PRESIDENT OF THE US. ITS TIME THE AMERICAN PEOPLE WOKEUP AND REALIZED HER LIFE HAS BEEN AN OPEN BOOK AND AMERICANS KNOW HER AND HER QUALIFICATIONS. bARACK oBAMA HAS TO MANY UNCERTAINTIES. hIS FAITH, HIS TIES WITH WRONG PEOPLE. HIS ABILITY TO LIE WITH A STRAIGHT FACE. THIS COUNTRY CANNOT AFFORD TO EVEN CONSIDER HIM.

Tom   April 7th, 2008 9:19 am ET

Hillary keeps getting caught in her lies - no wonder the race is tightening. Obama isn't going up, she's going down!

Here are my wishes for the upcoming general election:

1) Both candidates will take public funds for their campaigns
2) Both candidates will agree to debate the issues and not character - they both have skeletons that can be brought out, they both have integrity.

Even though I think McCain has more integrity, I believe he can win on the issues once Obama's record is known and shown. After all, that's what the election is all about - issues that are important to Americans!

Renee'   April 7th, 2008 9:21 am ET

Mccain is going to win because the Media want's Obama to win for the Dems and we all know he cannot win…Obama knows nothing and when he says Hillary voted for the war well she is from New York where 9/11 took place and she at that the time believed Mr. Pres. George Bush
so I don't know why she won't say it like that she lets Obama get away with everything because if she gos after him she will be called a racist.
I support John Mccain and believe if I was voting with the Dems Hillary has a better chance to go after John …….see you in Nov

NC Primary MY TURN!   April 7th, 2008 9:21 am ET

We simply cannot afford to return Bill Clinton to the White House. If we do that, we will see more of the same old politics of grid-lock, partisanship, and scandal. PA, you have an opportunity to put an end to this. If you don't, we in NC will.

mr.g   April 7th, 2008 9:22 am ET

POLLS,POLLS,POLLS WILL THEY EVER GET IT RIGHT. HILLARY LYING AGAIN,MIS-SPOKES. CAN WE REALLY TRUST HER TO RESPOND TO A 3A.M CALL WIYHOUT HAVING TO DO HER HAIR?, FIND MATCHING CLOTHES TO GO WITH HER SHOES? BACK UP LADY THE OBAMA TRAIN IS HEADE TO THE WHITE HOUSE AND YOU NEED TO SIT DOWN!!!!

FELISA   April 7th, 2008 9:22 am ET

With a 19 year old daughter in the US ARMY and a 21 year old son in the US NAVY, Hillary Clinton is the last person I would trust to be a Commander and Chief.

I used to support her but not now. Please let the Clintons crawl back in their hole.

New York, you must be proud of your junior senator. Not only should she not win the nomination, she should be kicked out of the Senate.

Also, someone who sings bomb, bomb, bomb Iraq is not only senile (McCain) but not fit to run this country.

Kel   April 7th, 2008 9:23 am ET

Many have said that "For Clinton, anything but a huge margin of victory is a defeat". I agree. At this point in the race, Clinton needs big wins to prove that she has enough momentum. To top it off, Obama raised $40 million last month, even in the midst of the Wright Controversy. He's even gained some supporters out of it. Meanwhile, Hillary only raised $20 million and news channels have reported that she had to spend over $12 million to pay off long overdue debts of her campaign.

Although I wish she would finally bow out, I think we all know she's not going to. She's said numerous times that "she doesn't quit", and even though she's known for speaking about things that didn't actually happen these days, I don't think even she could contradict herself that badly.

This whole Dem race is becoming a mess, and I'm really hoping Obama can win states like Pennsylvania. Perhaps if he just shuts Clinton out, he'll get enough superdelegate support to totally tank her bid for president. I'm ready to see President Obama. It's time. We're ready. Yes we can!

Obama 08!

Wayne   April 7th, 2008 9:23 am ET

I don't put much weight on polls but that being said, I think the people of PA are not going to blindly vote for Hillary Clinton after all her "missteps" and "misspeaks" and, clearly her stance on free trade must be questioned after this Mark Penn fiasco and what has been seen as her support for NAFTA inside the White house. I think the polls in PA is a reflection of all of Hillary's negatives.

pa voter   April 7th, 2008 9:23 am ET

its getting tighter because enough people are still blinded to obama's lies, where every time clinton says anything you pick it apart. why don't you guys examine obama's voting record. also take a good look at some of the things he claims to have done (but didn't) and report on that.

james Pa   April 7th, 2008 9:24 am ET

more lies to came

mg   April 7th, 2008 9:24 am ET

Pennyslvannias how come? Cant you see who this woman really is?

Please vote her out of this race.

Her double speaking and mispeaking and dramatisation and exergeration have become really unbearable.

I'm TOTALLY sick of her.

NAFTA,NORTH IRELAND,BOSNIA,PREGNANT WOMAN ……what else!

A presidential contender! What a joke!

Dan in CO   April 7th, 2008 9:24 am ET

Which is actually like a 3 point lead for Obama, because anything less than a 10 point win in PA is useless to Clinton. Really she needs 15 or more.

Carrie PA   April 7th, 2008 9:24 am ET

Pennsylvania for Obama!!!!!!!! Yes we can!

kim nyc   April 7th, 2008 9:24 am ET

If Obama isn't the next President, America deserves to remain a country that is looked down upon by the world. We have this bright and honest man running for the top job, who has support of MILLIONS of first time donors and democrats. We have not has this much enthusiasm for a candidate in my life time.

I will be in shock and awe if he loses the white house bid. Clinton needs to lose quickly and support our brightest new hope.

Allison, NH   April 7th, 2008 9:25 am ET

Good! I hope Obama kicks butt in Pennsylvania and starts to put this whole process to a rest. Lets get on with making the case against McCain!!

Rod   April 7th, 2008 9:26 am ET

It's not looking good Senator Clinton. I wonder if this is finally it.

Ed   April 7th, 2008 9:27 am ET

Sen Clinton is not doing good to herself at all. Im not an Obama supporter for the records but Sen Clinton should understands that she has alot ahead of her apart from these Presidential elections. Damaging a whole career because of one election is not worth the salt for me. Edwards ,Richardson, Biden, Dodd, Rudy,Mitt, Huckabee, etc all quit not bc they cant fight to the end but that it was not worth the salt to damage one's career and image bc of one single elections. Well thats my humble opinion , I maybe wrong.

jessica from pa   April 7th, 2008 9:27 am ET

This philly girl is not fooled by obama, he can give all the speeches he wants to give, but not fooled by his past with rezko and his dealings with a racist pastor of 20 years and his other homophobic racist mentor pastor meeks. Plus why would i vote for a "greenhorn" like obama, he don't know the truth. I'm so sick of Cnn acting like Obama is the best thing since slice bread, not going be fooled by cnn or obama.. I'm voting for Hillary clinton and if hillary is not the dems choice, my vote will go to john Mccain.

A. Harrison   April 7th, 2008 9:27 am ET

Spend as much money as the Obama campaign has and the race is bound to tighten.

But those undecided voters as always, in every state, just like New Hampshire, tell the tale.

Go Hillary, we can't stop, cause you won't stop.

Hillary 2008!

F. Lynn   April 7th, 2008 9:27 am ET

In light of the recent lie about the lady who lost her child and then her own life because she didn't have health care, now debunked by the hospital who said she had health care - is just another example of Clinton's intent for America. Hold her to her words as she has demanded you hold Obama. Her campaign staff is a joke and has cost her this election! Penn, her campaign manager shows just what type of cabinet she would employ. Ready on day one? I think not. America is tired of cornies and yes men, incompetence, lies and obvescation. We have seen it for years. You can't even run your campaign Hillary let alone a nation! Your totally unorganized and surrounded by harmful people like James Carvell. Your lies are getting exposed every day now. You duped the people in Ohio, you won't get a second chance in PA. Go away now and let the politics of the past die with you! We need a future and change we can believe in. Lies are you, Bill, both bushes, channey and Regan!

Alex:

Happy to see the results of the latest poll of polls. Obama should close that gap and win Pensylvania primary towards the presidential nomination. On the other hand, Hillary should stop begging votes on the basis of "Gender or Race cards"….why she need more time to get ready…?….instead show your honesty, trustworthy and the sweetness as a mother caring for her nation..Hillary, Please…..Please help to nominate Barak Obama to save the Democratic party.

OBAMA 2008…!!!!

Blake   April 7th, 2008 9:28 am ET

I predict 47% to 45% with 3 point error by April 14th. This is going to cripple Clinton. How is she going to spin a minimal win in Penn?

Dave C - N.J.   April 7th, 2008 9:28 am ET

Clinton = Too Much Baggage.

PA now's your chance to rid us of this mess!

rj   April 7th, 2008 9:28 am ET

Wait…in the previous article she predicted more twists and turns–clinton speak for throwing the kitchen sink into the fray.

Voted 4 Hillary and Sorry 4 it!   April 7th, 2008 9:28 am ET

Come on PA!!! Don't be fooled by Hillary's supposed stance on the economy and take a good hard look at how she has managed her campaign. She is not who we need in the White House no matter how much of a fighter she is. Mark Penn is obviously opposed to her "claim" that she is against a NAFTA agreement with the Columbia government, yet he felt comfortable enought to meet with them in an effort to convice Congress that they should allow trade agreements with the Columbians. Please don't be fooled by this double-talk! Clinton surrounds herself with people like this as her advisers during her bid for the White House. Just think of who she'll surround herself with if she makes it in there,

Dave W.   April 7th, 2008 9:29 am ET

I think that it is very important to have every vote in every primary and caucus counted,( with the exception of Michigan and Florida, they will be divided at the end). All of the states that followed the rules must be included to ensure that it is a fair and democratic nomination. I think both sides and their supporters need to tone down the retoric and attacks on each other and focus on the issues. Their other goal should be going after the Republicans, who have possibly gained some momentum and votes with all of the bickering among Democrats and their candidates.

Dora   April 7th, 2008 9:29 am ET

Who pays any attention to polls any more. You guys are worse than the groundhog in polls. The American people will make the decision not your polls. Are your polls pay offs for keeping the so called news going?

james Pa   April 7th, 2008 9:29 am ET

same polls shows Obama Pennsylvania's 48
Clinton42
Pennsylvania's knows Billry lies and cheat, Ed crook
we are not fools like Ohio's

Larry of Philadelphia   April 7th, 2008 9:29 am ET

Fortunately the polls do not vote - only we voters in PA get to do that I did my own survey over the weekend at my golf club just outside of Philadelphia and Hillary had a 25 point lead …… I think CNN just makes stuff up, or otherwise conducts a bias poll just to create news and contraversy.

PA is squarely and strongly on the side of the next President — and that will be Hillary Clinton.

Victor   April 7th, 2008 9:29 am ET

Are people in Pennsylvania brain dead?

Why would you vote for a coward, no knowledge, inconsistent and dedicated lunatic as Obama?

Wake up people, and realize that this man is a brainwasher not Presidential material.

Look at the way he walks and talks. Seems to me that he's more ghetto than anyone I know.

JB   April 7th, 2008 9:29 am ET

HEY CHERYL-

WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT THIS????

MAKE SURE YOU YELL YOUR OPINION PLEASE!!!

Let me add my two cents, STICK A FORK IN HER, SHE IS DONE!!!!!!

She will win PA by 5 pnts. she will try to declare victory, but we all know, she would have had to win by 12 pnts in order for this thing to possibly change directions. even then, i was a long shot.

pledged delegate splis will be even, with obama getting more delegates for wins in phili/pitt. Obama may even get more delagtes, but she will try to spin it, just like tX.

she will lose nc, and hung up her gloves1

Vince   April 7th, 2008 9:29 am ET

Keep it up Obama, narrow that lead to 5 points, then on to a easy win in NC where you lead by 15 points and it'll be all over for Hillary.

Thomas House   April 7th, 2008 9:30 am ET

Incredible how Hillary can justify ruining her own party for a (shrinking) 7 point lead. No matter what happens in Pennsylvania, she can't dispute the math, it's going to be impossible for her to secure enough delegates to come even close to Obama, not to mention her shrinking Super Delegate lead. Her campaign continues to implode, yet her smile gets bigger and bigger.

Her ego is far too bloated to allow herself to judge the situation for the better of the Democratic party. She's a divisive, pathological liar, just like her husband (who's done nothing for her image).

It's time to wake up. It's over, Hillary.

Craig   April 7th, 2008 9:30 am ET

Come on Pa., knock the female 'Rocky" wannabe outa da race.

Apparently that reference to Rocky was more accurate than we realized.

Steve in Minneapolis   April 7th, 2008 9:31 am ET

Wherever Obama campaigns, he moves the polls in his favor. Given his relative lack of experience, he is simply a brilliant politician, probably one of the best in American history. The Clintons have sullied their legacy in their attempts to bring him down.

Chido Williams   April 7th, 2008 9:31 am ET

We not surprised-there is so much negativity with Hillary's campaign that to trust her with a commander in chief position is putting American people and their lives at risk- there seems to be nothing to credit her for-somuuuuuuch lies and untruworthiness.

john   April 7th, 2008 9:32 am ET

I live in Lancaster Pa and the people here appear to rooting for Hillary clinton. they don't trust obama. America does not know anything about obama.

st louis typicl whte male   April 7th, 2008 9:32 am ET

The problem is.. Hillary is being way to nice to this rookie. There is a LOT of dirt on this guy that the public isn't aware of. Obama's supporters are blind - there as green as he is. They jumped on this train to 'feel good'. Hillary's dirt is old news.. we all know her. Her dirt pales to his and he's fairly new to this arena of politics.

It's really become a joke and I wish Hillary would not only throw the sink but throw the bathtub and pipes too!

Just wait until she decides to start talking…. and God help us if Obama does get the nod because the Republicans are salivating.

It has to be Hillary or it will be McCain. I will vote for McCain (independent here) over Obama man.

Darrin Lythgoe   April 7th, 2008 9:32 am ET

What about the ARG poll (April 6), which shows them tied at 45%? Does CNN not recognize certain polling sources?

P Graber   April 7th, 2008 9:32 am ET

You people waste more time on "polls". It does not matter until the votes are cast and the votes are counted. Stop wasting your time on reporting about polls. Why don't you examine a "real" issue like why the ACLU has not responded to the fact that the people they represent have not been treated fairly during this caucus fiasco. Infirmed people were unable to participate in the caucuses and so therefore, they have been unable to vote. Is this the American Way??? The ACLU should be protesting. Where are they?

jhs   April 7th, 2008 9:33 am ET

Why are we still listening to polls?

OBAMA!!!   April 7th, 2008 9:33 am ET

She should just quit now. its over Hillary. stop dividing the party for your own ambition and let Obama work on stregnthening his campaing against McCain instead of putting out the fires you set to deflect the voters from figuring out you are a liar and nothing but a nasty politician.

PA   April 7th, 2008 9:33 am ET

Hillary and Bill have shown what people have said in the past - they can not be trusted and that they will do anything to win. This is why the Republicans became so mad in the Clinton years. Democrates defended the Clinton and this cycle of dislike and distrust between the two parties began. It is time to break this cycle. NO MORE LIES!!

Obama 2008! We need Washington to become about the people and helping us - ecomony, health care, environment. We can't take anymore of this power struggles and doing and saying anything to get what the Clintons want.

In addition to the poll above:

Obama represents for many people (me including) the last chance for a turnaround..

S.B. Stein E.B. NJ   April 7th, 2008 9:35 am ET

Clinton needs a huge victory in PA to continue. If she fails to win by 10%, she really needs start to evaluate her campaign's chances. There needs to be some large victory in PA, NC and IN (this means large percentage of the delegates and popular vote). Without those, there needs to be the thought that Obama is going to win the nomination process.

Peter Kavanagh   April 7th, 2008 9:36 am ET

Tony   April 7th, 2008 9:36 am ET

I am not for either candidate; I am a disenchanted John Edwards supporter. My problem is that Hillary is facing one creditability issue after another lately. Bullets in Bosnia? Hospital stories that are refuted, did she get the information first hand? She said she did. How connected is she to lobbyists? She said early in the election that she was not under the influence of lobbyists; well what is does a main strategist do if it is not to influence? Who was Penn really in Columbia for? Hillary has come out strong against Trade deals lately could it be that Penn was there to smooth some feathers and ease some potential fears? To many questions, I miss John Edwards.

Sol   April 7th, 2008 9:36 am ET

I suspect more union members in Pennslyvania are seeing the double life of the Clinton camp.

A vote for Hillary is a vote for McCain   April 7th, 2008 9:37 am ET

Mathematically Hillary can't win the nomination . However, she will be able to make Obama loose. If she wins every nomination from now till the convention she will still be behind. Finally still Obama will be the nominee but the democratic party will be very week and divided.

We can't afford to loose in November and have another 4 years of GOB. Come on PA and end this race to concentrate on McCain

Four years of Bushism; eight years of Clintonism; eight years of Bushism; eight more years of Clintonism: ENOUGH! I sincerely hope that the good state of Pennsylvania will send Hillary packing. America needs a change, regardless of whether it is Obama or McCain or even Ralph Nader; give someone else a chance to either succeed or fail, with accolades or shame, but no more CLINTONS!!! They've done enough damage.

A Bosnia lie , a hospital story unchecked , a poor choice for a Campaign strategist , embellished resume credentials , reneging on a signed agreement to penalize two states for breaking pre-approved Rules , prone to sleep deprivation errors, changing the goal posts of victory every day, …does anyone see any difference between the above credentials of the Clinton At All Costs Regime and GEORGE DUBYA ??

It was a lie. The clintons lie all the time. It is pretty much their trademark. Kinda like Coca Cola or some other trademark brand. THEY ARE LIARS AND AMERICA NEEDS TO WAKE UP AND AT LEAST RECOGNIZE IT.

Please vote responsibly.

JJ in NY   April 7th, 2008 9:40 am ET

Whenever the situation is dire, hillary either resorts to mud-slinging, or another half-truth, ot total lie like she has demostrated so often in the past. Now that her do-or-die Pennsylvania primary nears and her numbers are dropping like a stone, let's see what cards she plays from either the spin deck or the liar deck .

rod   April 7th, 2008 9:41 am ET

Obama believe's the driving and striking force of money can do. Obama make's a mountain of money out of a mole - hill of change. Blow all the cash you have Obama on your charisma in Pennsylvania to influence the typical white person.

J. Ingells, PA   April 7th, 2008 9:42 am ET

. . . .Pennsylvanians will not be blindsided to the fact that Hillary and
Bill were responsible for NAFTA, which sent many of our jobs overseas.
Top that of with her campaign manager negotiating a Columbian deal
right under our noses. The Bosnian story did not help either. We just
may be a little more truth savvy than the Ohio voters. Clinton's lack of
credibility on crucial issues may be the demise of her campaign.

AH   April 7th, 2008 9:42 am ET

Hillary…put on a tie!

Jay Shah Chicago, IL   April 7th, 2008 9:42 am ET

Why isn't the media commenting on this fact?

Who cares if she has momentum in some of the last few states?
Her winning with a marginal percentrage (5-7%) does nothing for her in the pledged delegate count and popular vote. Another point: how is it called momentum if she starts 20 pts above obama and he closes to within 5 during the primary. In my eyes, those are all moral victories for Obama.

I hope the superdelegates are intelligent enough to think about this. At this point, I think she should all start trickling towards Obama to soften the blow to HIllary's ego.
I want to put this out there, If they do not rally around Obama if he is ahead in pledged delgates, the true barometer of support across this great nation, this first time voter will become cynical and not participate in politics with the same vigor and enthusiasm. My guess is that I share these sentiments with people 18-29 across this great country. Superdelegates beware

HillaryBillyChelsyClintony   April 7th, 2008 9:42 am ET

She has to much problems Let's list them:

1. Mark Penn and Hillary dealing with colombia
2. Math do not add up from her tax return there is 15M that we do not know when the the souce is. We need to know the souce of everything aslo Tax return for 2007 why did she as for extention. Something fishy going there.
3. It take her longer to get ready she said we should vote for her for that and I say we need a president who gets ready fast when the phone rings.
4. Lied about bosnia
5. Lied about the pregnant womam. According to he hospital the woman had heath insurance and whe was never denied treatment.
6. The math for her to winning the nomination is near imposible.

Orlando from Sevile, Spain, Europe   April 7th, 2008 9:43 am ET

The game will be over soon…

isaiah milford, nj   April 7th, 2008 9:43 am ET

perhaps it is because sen clinton is a habitual liar

It's over   April 7th, 2008 9:43 am ET

If Clinton does not win by double digits all I can say is that IT'S OVER…
Clinton's campaign got more twists and truns than a slinky!

Nick   April 7th, 2008 9:44 am ET

Here come the comments that Obama isn't gaining in Pennsylvania at all and that Hillary's 11 or 9 point lead is statistically the same as as a 7 point lead.

sasha kando   April 7th, 2008 9:46 am ET

Such a muddle of a campaign! Our country is already in such a muddle with GW and everything else. Do we really want a person who can't even run a campaign properly to lead us into more muddy waters??

C Watson   April 7th, 2008 9:49 am ET

Hillary has to win Pennsylvania big by 14+ points to keep her hopes alive of catching Obama in the popular vote. Doesn't look good.

Will in Virginia   April 7th, 2008 9:50 am ET

I think Pennsylvanians are finally coming to grips with the fact that Hillary is not as electable in a general election against John McCain. The lady is just dishonest. More scandals to come!

GABRIEL   April 7th, 2008 9:50 am ET

We can only pray that Hillary wins this nomination…or we'll have a Jimmy Carter nominee that loses to McCain…and we all know what we'll get with McCain.

Ekele   April 7th, 2008 9:50 am ET

lol…She's loosing it at a fast pace…before 22nd, she'll be down by at least 10 points. No body should knowingly vote for a pathological liar.

David in Chicago   April 7th, 2008 9:50 am ET

Maybe people in PA are hearing the recent patter of lies coming out of Clinton's mouth?

tanksleyd   April 7th, 2008 9:50 am ET

Pennsylvanians saw leadership up close and personal last week and liked what they saw.

seyi   April 7th, 2008 9:50 am ET

Only if Obama pulls this off… It would be bye bye for Hillary. Penn State has the choice to make history just like Iowa did… May the force be with Obama! This is a victory even Hilaary would concede to!

Ryan   April 7th, 2008 9:51 am ET

Hey Hillary, do you feel the walls closing in?

ForBetterWorld   April 7th, 2008 9:51 am ET

Super deligates have to think about one and only one thing, who is going to do good for America to start with and the World!!

Dan   April 7th, 2008 9:51 am ET

Strange, Clinton has gained ground in the national polls, and they are now statistically tied. But in Pennsylvania, Obama is gaining. The only difference is that Obama is funneling a ton of money into the state. Goes to show that money will buy him the nomination, just like it did with George Bush.

david chu   April 7th, 2008 9:51 am ET

There are only so many stories and facts she can make up. I guess thats why they fired Penn, they need some fresh lies.

MikeH   April 7th, 2008 9:52 am ET

More biases cnn, most hillary supporters have a blogging strike right now.

Kareem from Hampton VA   April 7th, 2008 9:52 am ET

We still have a few more weeks! That lead will get even more closer! And if it gets closer and Obama wins the urban areas of Pa he's gonna walk away with more delegates even if Hillary won the popular vote..you know like he did is Texas!!!

TNA   April 7th, 2008 9:52 am ET

Once again, Obama narrows his lead whenever he campaigns vigorously in a state where he's initially behind in the polls

Obama '08!

Rob K   April 7th, 2008 9:53 am ET

do people honestly think Clinton is going to win the primary vote in Pennsylvania? I'm interested to hear what some other people have to say….

Bantu   April 7th, 2008 9:55 am ET

Obama will prevail despite the odds. He has proven to the electorate the more you know him the more you want to vote for him. However the more you know Hillary the less likely you would vote for her. It will be a razor finish in PA.

Ross in MD   April 7th, 2008 9:57 am ET

Why is Hillary still in it?

Mark, MI   April 7th, 2008 9:58 am ET

Come on Clinton, we Democrats need you, I know you can win!
Clinton or McCain in 08! NOBAMA!

Ok 4 Obama   April 7th, 2008 9:59 am ET

Looks like Clinton is in for an upset come april 22nd

Rose - Baltimore, MD   April 7th, 2008 9:59 am ET

Praise God! It is is going to narrow down even further and then Obama will overtake.

Good job PA!

christine   April 7th, 2008 10:00 am ET

The problem is people forget that obama started a year ago and clinton started 30 years ago so obama just compaining for a month in pennsylvania he is doing so well, remember the name clinton has been in the white for decades so i think clinton is at an advantage here i think the media should give obama credit for that he is doing so well winning all these states, and he fighting against three clintons

Trev   April 7th, 2008 10:02 am ET

Saw the same thing in Ohio. Obama should not get too excited yet.

John Kay   April 7th, 2008 10:03 am ET

It's becoming increasingly likely that the people of Pennsylvania will end this tie-break come April 22nd in favor of Obama and ultimately hand the presidency back to the democrats

Goodluck to them

Connie   April 7th, 2008 10:03 am ET

Oh no! A poll that has Obama coming back! BIAS!!!

Robin   April 7th, 2008 10:06 am ET

Well, we have seen in the past that Mrs. Clinton and her team use all kinds of techniques and tactics to win including misspeaking and misleading…so, we can have another "shame on you Barak Obama" or another "I just have so many opportunities for this country" in the last minute.

IndependantQ   April 7th, 2008 10:07 am ET

Sit tight Barack. Remember the story about the Tortoise and the Hair. She will be the cause of her own demise. The truth always comes to light. She is corrupt and all will see….

kmm   April 7th, 2008 10:07 am ET

i am voting obama and i am in PA — i really hope he wins and shows that mot polls are useless and silly..

Burt   April 7th, 2008 10:07 am ET

These are same pollsters that predicted Hillary's demise in New-Hampshire, California, etc.. etc…

Hillary is going to win the nomination no matter how skewed of a view the media presents. The remaining major contests are Primaries; when there are Primaries, Hillary IS THE WINNER.

rabblerouser   April 7th, 2008 10:08 am ET

Does anyone really trust a CNN poll? CNN hates Hillary and is doing everything it can to get Obama nominated. So, really guys, who would even believe a CNN poll. Who did you query in this poll? CNN staffers?

Kay-Arizona   April 7th, 2008 10:08 am ET

It is amazing that Hillary has been able to retain any lead at all considering how very hard some of the CNN people have been working for Obama. Its so obvious Ive had to turn the TV off.

Steve   April 7th, 2008 10:10 am ET

Yeah yeah yeah That is what you said about Ohio too! Look what happened there!
Just another way to try to intimidate Clinton voters!

Patrick, Indianapolis   April 7th, 2008 10:11 am ET

CNN,

Over the weekend, Obama picked up 5 add-on Superdelegates and Clinton picked up only 1. Obama also picked up a Superdelegate from Montana today. That means that since Friday, Obama has picked up 6 Superdelegates and Clinton has picked up only 1. Please report on this (of course I'm not sure you'll post this comment).

ART in TX   April 7th, 2008 10:12 am ET

The polls are narrowing because Hil keeps making these "blunders" that will cost her the nomination and also reduce her credibility in the Senate.

Hillary Supporter   April 7th, 2008 10:13 am ET

It doesn't matter. I am an Independent and have resigned myself to the fact that if Hilliary does not represent the Democratic Party then not vote at all in the general election.

Obama 08!!!! Fired up and ready to go!!!!

Lousie   April 7th, 2008 10:15 am ET

Is it any wonder? Hillary's hospital story is not true. Hillary's $10 M campaign leader is working on NAFTA in Columbia. Hillary is once again in damage control. That'll do it.

Concerned Voter   April 7th, 2008 10:15 am ET

Net, She will still win an important state. Obama's support is softening. Why isn't this being reported?

Matthew Abuelo   April 7th, 2008 10:15 am ET

Hillary Clinton should just drop out. She is not going to win the nomination and will be one of the most hated politicians in recent history if her attacks on Obama cause a McCain win in November.

Jeff   April 7th, 2008 10:15 am ET

Unless they surveyed the exact same people as the previous poll, I don't see this as meaning anything.
Only one poll really matters and thats how the voters vote on primary day. The rest is spin one way or the other for the new media to try and spoon feed thier interpretations to us.

Amani Moto   April 7th, 2008 10:16 am ET

At some point the Clinton lead in Penn will become insignificant and negligible. It won't be enough to matter. She may win Pennsylvania but it certainly won't be a double digit win. Maybe she'll finally give it up!

Dyinglikeflies, NYC   April 7th, 2008 10:23 am ET

The undecideds in primary states historically break 6-4 for Clinton, so she should be OK with these numbers. Also Obama is outspending Clinton 4 to 1 in the Pa. media market, so he should be pretty depressed by these polls. Obama can't spend these dollars and still come out the loser in a large swing state and still be viable.

K.C   April 7th, 2008 10:25 am ET

We have our fill of this for now. Just tank everyone and get out of the race and way

Between the Bosnia and Mark Penn disasters, her campaign is now in free fall.
It's time for her to hang it up.

Got Hope?

Obama 08!

Tyler   April 7th, 2008 10:32 am ET

Time to give it up, she should play the cnn delegate counter game and see that Obama will reach the magic number of delegates.

Tired of Clintonista's   April 7th, 2008 10:32 am ET

Seems like Hillary is in her last throes.

Might be time to step aside graciously rather than be pushed out and carr y around bitterness.

She just as too many negatives to get elected in the general. If she stays around we get another 4 years of Bush.

Bruce   April 7th, 2008 10:33 am ET

I hope people take notice of this one particular fact. When Obama has been down by large margin going into a contest against Hillary; he almost always narrow that gap. When it's Hillary on the other hand being down to Obama by large margin, the numbers don't changee much.

Brian Tampa, FL   April 7th, 2008 10:34 am ET

When your choice is between a pathological liar and an Anti-American racist I am surprised the undecideds aren't a little higher. No two people could sum up the Democratic party better.

Paige, Raleigh, NC   April 7th, 2008 10:34 am ET

Robert in Albuquerque   April 7th, 2008 10:35 am ET

Paulette, Cincinnati, Ohio   April 7th, 2008 10:35 am ET

Hey all you Obama lovers and CNN Obama lovers. This race is not over yet!!! Besides a lot (and I mean a lot) of people will vote for McCain if Hillary loses. Its a win win situation.Take that one to the bank.
VOTE "HILLIARY '08″ OR "MCCAIN '08″

Terri   April 7th, 2008 10:36 am ET

Hillary lies.

Jody   April 7th, 2008 10:37 am ET

I wonder why part of the story here isn't that despite spending HUGE amounts of money that Obama's polling numbers haven't gone UP! He has been hovering around 41% the whole time. Well, he did go up one point, now at 42%. Not a very good return on your investment, Mr. Obama! Hillary needs stop helping Obama out by regaining some control over her campaign. It's been a bad few days for her in the press. Of course, the press is indeed pro-Obama, with the exception maybe of Fox News. I think she will turn this around before April 22nd.

Max   April 7th, 2008 10:38 am ET

Hey PA, wake up… and have the courage to make a history by rejecting Clintons - the most corrupted couple in modern American politics - and voting for the next president of the USA - Barack Obama !
America and the whole world is watching you.. Take your historical responsibility, please…

Max

Michael   April 7th, 2008 10:38 am ET

HRC campaign is already spinning the closing gap between her and Obama. Gov Rendell now is setting sights on a substantial victory if she wins by 5-9 points. What happened to the double digit win expectations? It seems that voters know the HRC name and expect to vote for her, but the more they hear her, get a sense of her entititlement and hunger for power and get tired of her spins/lies, they move away from her. Any state where Obama has campaigned, he has closed the gap as voters recognize and identify with his call for change at all levels. While it is a moot point now, HRC thinks she would carry MI and FL, yet those are both states where the vote was essentially on name recognition and not on any substance or any comparision between candidates. I wonder….

Anonymous   April 7th, 2008 10:39 am ET

It's amazing that Hillary and her supporters can turn anything to their advantage, or diregard it depending on whether it benefits her or not. Small states that Obama won don't matter, her misspeaks don't matter, polls don't matter - all until it's favorable to her… She's not the only hypocrite in this country - many Hillary supporter posting on this blog need to go look in a mirror and grow some integrity.

Anna , TX.   April 7th, 2008 10:50 am ET

Why isn't Obama's voting record brought up more often? He voted present on very important issues. I think his voting record shows he is unable to make tough decisions and stick by them.

Hillary Rocks!   April 7th, 2008 10:50 am ET

HAHA Obama will lose Pennsylvania by 15 points. Watch! You Obama supporters make me laugh.

If Obama is the nominee he will lose.

Sen Clinton is a talented and intelligent candidate, but people are starting to see through her various fictional tales. I wish she had stuck to the issues and been more honest about everything - I think she shot herself in the foot with her campaign style.

I don't trust polls. Simply because Hillary has a strong base in PA. I just hope people can see through some of Hillary's lies. She is not genuine from what I can gather. I personally don't think she can be trusted to be our President.

Gerry ( AUSTRIA )   April 7th, 2008 11:00 am ET

Come sun, come rain, Obama is going to be the party´ nominee.We don´t want personal ambitions coupled with lust for power and greed by a single individual to overshadow the aims and objectives of the democratic party. Hillary should know that it is only the greedyfew that are pushing her to continue this race in other to wear the party down knowing fully well that there is no chance she can win the nomination

Gayron Taylor   April 7th, 2008 11:00 am ET

well everytime Mr(male dominated) CNN does these stories to bring down Mrs Clinton she supprises as all this story isn't fair and balanced because it doesn't show Mr (media darling) Obama spending 3times more but we'll see

redg   April 7th, 2008 11:01 am ET

is it just me or do you realize that everyone who causes Hillary to take a PR hit "Resigns" in name, but then they keep working as usual? This is ridiculous…

Eric-PA   April 7th, 2008 11:02 am ET

I have confidence in the people of PA. They will see the light and vote overwhelmingly for Hillary Clinton, a true leader. Hillary will then gain momentum and win Indiana, West Virginia and Kentucky and gain even more momentum causing Obama's lead in NC to dwindle.

HFS   April 7th, 2008 11:02 am ET

I am from Pa. and have been skeptical about Obama's chances here because of the racism and strong union support for Hillary. But yesterday I was talking to 3 Republican women who are turned off to Hillary and are really impressed with Barack. If he gets to the general election they will vote for him–not McCain! So much for Hillary as being so electable–even in the Keystone State!

Go Obama!

Sam   April 7th, 2008 11:02 am ET

I want Obama to win, not because he's has NO experience what so ever nor the leadership personality, I just want to see how he will fail his promise of the so called "change". Like the rest who came before him

Change has to come from inside out not the opposite. If not, then we will never change

He will fail to win PA

Tammy   April 7th, 2008 11:03 am ET

The American people are tired of the lies and urban legend myths that Hilliary tells to get votes. Her life is one big hollywood lie. Lets hope that Obama wipes the floor with her in PA.

Tim from PA   April 7th, 2008 11:03 am ET

I'm a Hillary supporter, but I'm tired of all the lies and cover ups. I started to think that this is the beginning of the end for her. I'm not sure if I'm going to vote for her. Enough is enough!

Jason   April 7th, 2008 11:03 am ET

Even if she wins with 10 points, that gives her only 10 - 12 delegates from the last biggest state. Obama will still have 160 delegate lead.
What does this mean? Game over.

Give her enough time, and hopefully we'll keep getting a truer picture of who she is and what she really represents.

Please Hillary just run as an independent. Show the DNC that NOBODY needs them…they want Obama so much????THEY DESERVE EACH OTHER!!!!

When I see the type of people in here that support obama it makes me scared that he might win! These people appear to be the most uneducated people in the country…keep chanting "yes we can" because it is only a catch phrase and nothing he can deliver on! "YES WE CAN SCREW UP THIS COUNTRY EVEN MORE"…that is what will be written in the history books.

If obama wins the Dems then I switch MY vote from Hillary to McCain!

I trust that the Democrats in Pennsylvania will think hard about Hillary's poor judgment in having chosen Mark Penn to run her campaign. Mr. Penn, turns out, has been working hard on behalf of NAFTA, which has destroyed thousands of jobs in Pennsylvania. Hillary is NOT the pro-labor candidate she has dishonestly proclaimed herself to be. Yet another reason not to trust what she says! Bosnia, Northern Ireland, and now NAFTA.

Hillary is such a liar!!! I use to like her….but now…no way, she will do whatever it takes to get what she wants..lie cheat and steal..it's really sad.

Is Obama back from vacation? You know what happens, things heat up and Obama and Rev Wright go on vacation. Sounds a lot like our current administration.

Will the real Obama please stand up?

Go Hillary!!!!!

In all respect to Seantor Clinton, she can't win because God has put his hand on Obama to lead this country, possibly the world. God is of peace and that is what he wants on this earth. Obama has a big load to carry with this responsiblity but God will make a way for him.

Hillary to the White House   April 7th, 2008 11:10 am ET

Obama and his supporters are a sad lot of people.

Obama will never make it to the White House. He cannot be trusted.

Oh, good people, Hillary does not lie.

She just shows her ‘human side’. :-)
