Among Hoosiers who said they would vote in the general election -- a statewide sample of voters with a margin of error of plus or minus 4.4 percentage points -- Obama beat McCain 49 percent to 41 percent. Clinton broke even with McCain, with both backed by 46 percent of those polled.

And, by 49 percent to 35 percent, Democratic primary voters said Obama is the candidate best able to win in the general election.

Robert Gibbs, national communications director for the Obama campaign, said the poll "points to a primary that we believe will be very close and very competitive."

But, he said, "the numbers in the general election show Barack Obama's unique ability to change the political map and bring people participating for the first time, or for the first time in a long time, into the election this year."

Joe Hogsett, co-chairman of Clinton's campaign in Indiana, said this and other polls show "this is a toss-up race that is going to be very hotly contested and hard-fought."

He argued, though, that Clinton's win in Pennsylvania on Tuesday has changed the momentum and that the full impact of that win hadn't sunk in when the poll was taken.
