CNN Poll of Polls: Hillary's PA Lead Dropping Fast

Hillary's Lead In Pennsylvania Dropping Fast, CNN Average Of Polls Finds
By Greg Sargent - April 10, 2008, 11:42AM

CNN has just released an average it has done of recent polls in Pennsylvania, and if the findings are accurate, things are looking pretty rough for her in the state:

Sen. Hilary Clinton's lead over Sen. Barack Obama in the crucial primary state of Pennsylvania has dwindled to 4 points, a CNN average of recent polls calculated Thursday shows...

Recent CNN "poll of polls" suggest the race in Pennsylvania is tightening before the state's April 22 primary. A poll of polls calculated two days ago showed Clinton with a 6 point lead in Pennsylvania, and a poll of polls last Friday showed her on top by 11 points.

Hillary now leads 46%-42%. That's a drop of seven points in Hillary's average lead -- in just under a week. Obama's three-to-one spending advantage on ads in the state may be paying off.

3. Let's not read too much into this "unprecedented outspending" of Obama's

It's easy to look like you're spending more when your opponent ISN'T.

10. No, it's easy to BE spending more when your opponent isn't.

It also looks like it is.

And it is having an effect, although the HRC campaign's repeated shooting itself in teh foot may also have an effect.

4. 46% to 42% is probably

well within the margin of error. Obama could pull this one off. :toast:

9. She can't; she's in debt until I hear otherwise. The bill collectors

are at her door:
