This poll shows no movement from Obama’s narrow 46/39 lead in May, which means Obama has gotten no positive “bounce” since officially clinching the nomination battle over Hillary Rodham Clinton earlier this year. In a close contest however, Obama’s lead on intensity with a higher percentage of “definite” support could be the deciding factor that puts him over the top because it means his base is more solidified and his troops more energized than those of McCain.

From a regional standpoint, Obama continues to hold relatively stable leads over McCain in Philadelphia (67/21), the suburban Southeast counties Chester, Bucks, Delaware, Montgomery (50/33), Allegheny County (56/37) and the Northwest/Erie market (46/36). Obama also holds a narrow 47/43 lead in the Northeast/Wilkes-Barre/Scranton market, which is really a statistical toss-up within the poll’s margin of error; the candidates were also virtually tied in this region in May. Obama also leads with Democrats (73/16), Independents (48/25), females (48/38), 18-29 year- olds (75/21), 30-44 year-olds (45/38) and 45-59 year-olds (49/37), African-Americans (98/0), those with a college degree or higher level of education (50/35) and high-income households (50/44).END 8/11-13 Susq %5 John-McCain 41 Barack-Obama 46 Undecided 10 Other 3 Refused 1 Franklin-Marshall-College http://www.usaelectionpolls.com/2008/polls/pdfs/franklin-marshall-college-pennsylvania-aug4to10-2008.pdf 8/7/08 N=641 8/13/08 BEGIN Men: McCain 43%, Obama 42%.
