This is incredible:
http://www.publicpolicypolling.com/pdf/PPP_Release_042808.pdf (broken link)

PPP typically polls significantly higher for Obama than others but in just the past week he has gone from a PPP spread of +25 over Hillary to +12. In one week his lead cut in half. . . I don't recall seeing such a swing like this for any candidate this year. . . if ever.


RealClearPolitics - Election 2008 - North Carolina Democratic Primary

Average has Obama at +12.3 and trending steadily downward. Indiana numbers don't appear to be fresh but signs that this state is also shifting significantly toward Hillary.

Should Obama drop out? Hang on!

a whopping 10+ in NC would nullify Hillary's PA win

Youthful skepticism is what we need, when the old fools fail the young must succeed

Zombie minded eh? So someone who believes differently than you is zombie minded? I've stated on many occasions that I am much older than a college student, I've extensively researched all of the three remaining candidates, and am confident that there is nothing 'zombie-minded' about my faculties as they relate to rational thought and critical thinking.

The media mantra should Obama win NC with 10 percent will be "Clinton makes serious inroads into Obama's support base..." Where was that kind of talk last week when Hillbilly squeaked a LESS than 10 percent win in PA? Uh-Huh...the silence is deafening.

The title of this thread is somewhat misleading. The original PPP poll showing Obama's lead in NC to be 26% was an outlier. Other polls, such as ARG (http://politicalwire.com/archives/2008/04/16/arg_poll_obama_maintains_lead_in_north_carolina.ht ml - broken link) have show Obama's lead in NC to be in the 10%-12% range, virtually all along.

Didn't you know that the Hillary Supporter cherry pick the polls. Delusional thinking don't you think.

And Obama supporters pick what state's citizens get their votes counted

I'm permitted to reference a valid poll that demonstrates Obama's free fall. . . .

Do you foresee this story having an effect on the Polls?

Depositions to begin in Paul vs. Clinton
