[Dems2008] Ohio tightening, and we know where undecideds go.......

Feb. 25

 

Four Ohio polls show Obama closing in on Clinton and while some of them still give her an edge over Obama greater than their margins of error, one of the surveys put her ahead of Obama by only 50 percent to 46 percent -- exactly its margin of error.

Dean Debnam, president of Public Policy Polling, which reported the closest result, described Clinton as being in "big trouble" and said the race in the state "is trending heavily towards Obama."

A Quinnipiac University poll had Clinton leading Obama 51 percent to 40 percent with a 3.6 percent margin of error. That compares to the 55 to 34 percent lead she enjoyed in a Feb. 14 survey.

Peter Brown of Quinnipiac says that while Clinton's lead remains substantial, "the trend line should be worrisome for her in a state that even her husband, former President Bill Clinton, has said she must win." But he noted that "one thing going in her favor is that she is viewed more favorably than is he by Ohio likely Democratic primary voters."
