Obama’s surge appears to be at least partially attributable to the virtual certainly that John McCain will be nominated on the Republican side. That means more independents and Republicans in the state are planning to vote in the Democratic primary. While Obama trails Clinton 56-40 among self identified Democrats, he leads 80-13 with Republicans and 64-33 with independents.

“Hillary Clinton is in big trouble,” said Dean Debnam, President of Public Policy Polling. “As recently as a week ago many polls in the state were showing her with around a 20 point lead. The race is trending heavily toward Obama and time is on his side with another eight day before the voting.”

The standard racial and gender disparities in support between Clinton and Obama apply in Ohio. She leads 55-42 with women, while he leads 51-45 with men. She has a 56-38 advantage with white voters, while he leads 76-24 with African American voters.
