“Hillary Clinton’s made a small rebound in the last week to get the lead back,” said Dean Debnam, President of Public Policy Polling. “But this does seem to be confirmation that it’s a pretty tight race in Pennsylvania and could go either way depending on what the campaigns do over the next two weeks.”

The survey also found that 37% of likely voters are concerned that the drawn out primary will hurt Democratic prospects of winning in the fall. Obama has a 47-41 lead with those voters. Clinton is leading 50-40 among the 52% of respondents who are not worried the contest continuing will impede the chances of defeating John McCain.

Obama has a 53-35 advantage in the Philadelphia metro area, while Clinton leads every other region of the state.
