| Description | Obama may trail McCain slightly less than Clinton does
By ED RONCO
Tribune Staff Writer
Conventional wisdom said Tuesday’s voting in Pennsylvania would sway Hoosier opinions on who to vote for in Indiana’s May 6 presidential primary.
But Pennsylvania’s results don’t appear to have cleared up anything in Indiana, according to a new statewide poll commissioned by The Tribune, WSBT-TV, WISH-TV in Indianapolis and WANE-TV in Fort Wayne.
Sen. Barack Obama leads Sen. Hillary Clinton by 1 point in a sample of 400 likely Democratic primary voters polled by telephone April 23 and 24.
If the election were today, Obama would get 48 percent of the vote to Clinton’s 47 percent. The numbers are within the poll’s 5 percent margin of error.
A poll conducted for The Tribune earlier in the month showed Clinton at 49 percent and Obama at 46 percent.
The closer numbers might muddy the waters a little in terms of who will win, but the state’s demographics might point more to an Obama victory, said Del Ali, of the Rockville, Md.-based Research 2000, which conducted the study. |
