[CQ Politics]Three Pennsylvania polls this week suggest that Hillary Rodham Clinton is rebuilding her edge in Pennsylvania--or at least starting to hold off Barack Obama --while he tries to put the “bitter” remark controversy behind him.
In a survey conducted April 14 by Rasmussen Reports, Clinton leads Obama by 50 percent to 41 percent with a 4 point margin of error. On Monday, American Research Group had given Clinton a 20 point lead based on an April 11-13 survey, after a series of polls showed Obama catching Clinton in the state. Clinton had led by 5 points in Rasmussen’s poll last week.
A Quinnipiac University survey conducted April 9-13 had her lead at 50 percent to 44 percent with a 2.1 percent margin of error, unchanged from its April 8 poll. Quinnipiac said it did not find noticeable fallout from Obama’s remarks in the part of its survey conducted April 12-13, after they were reported on the Huffington Post.
A SurveyUSA poll conducted April 12-14 has Clinton ahead 54 percent to 40 percent with a 3.9 percent margin of error.
Rasmussen found Clinton ahead by 17 points among voters from households where someone owns a gun, and also leading among voters who say religion is somewhat or very important. Seventy-five percent of likely primary voters say they have heard about the Obama remark, and they disagree with it 51 percent to 35 percent. That roughly matches the sentiment that Rasmussen found nationally in a survey released yesterday. Obama supporters agree with him 59 percent to 25 percent while nearly three-quarters of Clinton supporters disagree
