Barack Obama Maintains Wide Lead in Pennsylvania…Outpaces McCain by 13 Percentage Points: Senator Barack Obama has a strong lead in the contest for Pennsylvania’s 21 electoral votes. Among registered voters in the state, Obama is ahead with 52% to McCain’s 39%. Obama has gained ground since a Marist Poll conducted earlier this month when he was ahead by 9 percentage points. The gap among registered voters now stands at 13 percentage points. Among likely voters, including those who are undecided yet leaning toward a candidate, Obama has a comparable 14 percentage point advantage. Here, Obama sprints past McCain -- 55% to 41% -- with just 4% of voters reporting they have yet to make up their minds. In Marist’s earlier poll, Obama led McCain by 12 percentage points among likely voters. Currently, Obama has more support among Democrats than McCain has among Republicans. 91% of Democrats say they support their party’s candidate while 83% of Republicans say they are backing McCain. Independents likely to vote on Election Day favor Obama by more than 2-to-1.
