A new MSNBC/McClatchy/Pittsburgh Post-Gazette poll of Pennsylvania
shows Sen. Hillary Clinton leads Sen. Barack Obama, 48% to 43%. Considering the 4% margin of error, it means the race is a statistical tie.
"The poll is consistent with what the
campaigns and other reputable polls have been showing and that is
Clinton getting close to 50% and Obama struggling to climb over 45%."
Chuck Todd: "So while the poll shows Clinton with a narrow lead (and arguably a
narrowing lead), the clues inside the numbers indicate this is her race
to lose and that her lead could expand. Should this race end up as
close as this poll indicates (i.e. 5 points or less), then this means
many of these undec. potential Clinton voters decided to stay home; If
the come to the polls, she could see her lead climb to over 5 points."
