Democratic Primary: Pennsylvania Men Move to Obama But Woman Stick with Hillary -- In a Democratic Primary in Pennsylvania today, 04/01/08, 3 weeks until votes are counted, Hillary Clinton defeats Barack Obama 53% to 41%, according to a SurveyUSA poll conducted exclusively for WCAU-TV Philadelphia, KDKA-TV Pittsburgh, WHP-TV Harrisburg, and WNEP-TV Wilkes-Barre. Compared to an identical SurveyUSA poll released 3 weeks ago, Clinton is down 2, Obama is up 5. Clinton had led by 19, now 12. The movement comes almost entirely from men. Clinton had led by 5, now trails by 7, a 12-point swing to Obama. Among women, Clinton had led by 30, now leads by 28, largely unchanged. Among voters age 50+, Clinton had led by 26, now leads by 22. Among voters under 50, Clinton had led by 12, now leads by 2, a 10-point swing to Obama. In Southeast PA, which includes Philadelphia and which makes up 43% of likely Democratic voters, the candidates have traded places: Clinton had been up 2; she is now down 3. In Southwest PA, which includes Pittsburgh, Clinton had led by 31, now by 17, a 14-point swing to Obama. In NW PA, which includes Erie ... in West Central PA, which includes Johnstown ... and in South Central PA, which includes Harrisburg ... each of which is small by itself ... there is movement to Obama, which, when the 3 regions are combined, is worth noting. In NE PA, which includes Scranton, there is movement to Clinton. Among Conservative Democrats, and among Pro-Life Democrats, there is movement to Obama. Clinton continues to dominate among voters focused on the Economy (#1 issue) and Health Care (#3) issue. Obama has gained ground but Clinton continues to lead among voters focused on Iraq (#2 issue).
