Quote:
The intensity of the presidential nomination contests between Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton has mobilized likely Indiana Democratic Primary voters throughout the state. We are cautious to draw too many direct comparisons with our previous poll as both were separate samples and snapshots of the Indiana electorate under different conditions. Nevertheless, Hillary Clinton appears to have improved her electoral fortunes considerably. In our most recent poll taken between April 28 and April 30 of 689 registered voters likely to participate in the May 6 Indiana Democrat Primary, 52% support Clinton and 45% support Obama (+/- 3.8%). Our previous poll between April 14 and April 16 had Obama receiving 50% of likely registered Democratic primary voters to Clinton’s 45%. The latest poll fell during the latest Reverend Wright controversy, with Barack Obama publicly separating himself from Wright on the second day of polling. Further, the poll was completed before Democratic superdelegates Congressman Baron Hill and former Democratic National Committee Chair Joe Andrew endorsed Barack Obama. Consequently, the effect of all of these events is unclear. What is clear, however, is that Clinton has expanded her lead among strong Democratic identifiers and dramatically turned the tables on Obama with independent voters and those concerned about the worsening economy.
