Quinnipiac Poll: Obama Gains on Clinton in Ohio

"Buoyed by a big shift among college-educated voters," Sen. Barack Obama is gaining on Sen. Hillary Clinton, who now leads 51% to 40% among Ohio likely Democratic primary voters, according to a new Quinnipiac poll.

Clinton held a 21 point lead in mid-February.

Key finding: Clinton's large margins among women, 53% to 36%; older voters, whites and those without a college education keep her out front.

Said pollster Peter Brown: "Sen. Clinton's lead remains substantial, but the trend line should be worrisome for her in a state that even her husband, former President Bill Clinton, has said she must win. A week is an awful long time in politics to be playing defense, but one thing going in her favor is that she is viewed more favorably than is he by Ohio likely Democratic primary voters."
