.
According to the poll, voters ranked health care as their third most important issue in the election after the economy and the war in Iraq. Among voters who cited health care as their most important issue in the election, 56% said that they supported Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (N.Y.), and 38% said that they favored Sen. Barack Obama (Ill.).

According to the Journal, Clinton is "adopting a battle plan reminiscent of the one James Carville and Paul Begala used to boost underdog Democrat Harris Wofford into the Senate in 1991 and adapted a year later to help propel Bill Clinton to the presidency" with a focus on health care and the economy. Wofford "stunned the political world when he defeated former Gov. Dick Thornburg, a well-known moderate Republican who had resigned as U.S. attorney general to seek the seat," the Journal reports.

The Journal also notes that Obama intends to give a speech on the economy Thursday followed by a six-day bus tour in The Keystone State.
