Insider Poll: Obama Inching Closer
In Indiana
(5/5/08) Hillary Clinton is like one of those blow-up punching
bags that keeps popping back up when you slug them. For her to pop
up and then pop back with a punch of her own, she must at least
win Tuesday’s Indiana primary. Our latest poll shows that
she has a good chance of doing that.
Here are the latest results in Indiana:
Hillary Clinton 48%
Barack Obama 44%
Undecided 8%
The poll was conducted by InsiderAdvantage / Majority Opinion on
May 4 among 502 likely voters in the May 6 Indiana Democratic presidential
primary. The margin of error is plus or minus 4%. The data was weighted
for age, race, gender and political affiliation.
Interestingly, most polls show Clinton winning handily in Indiana
and losing big in North Carolina. Our InsiderAdvantage polls show
both races tightening with election day just hours away. (InsiderAdvantage
shows Clinton pulling to within 3% – within the poll’s
margin of error – in North Carolina.)
Obama’s problem in Indiana is as clear as black and white,
literally. It appears he will pull in his customary 80%-plus of
African-Americans, but blacks make up only about 10% of all voters
in the Indiana Democratic Primary. Meanwhile, Clinton is leading
54% to 41% among whites.
