Clinton Comes Within 7 Points in Average of Six Polls
In the wake of the Wright controversy and despite — or because of? — the trashing Hillary Clinton is receiving in the media and on the web, the RealClearPolitics poll of polls shows that, with four days to go before the North Carolina primary, the double digit averaged lead Barack Obama once held in the state has disappeared:
| Poll | Date | Obama | Clinton | Spread |
| RCP Average | 04/26 - 05/01 | 48.3 | 41.3 | Obama +7.0 |
| Rasmussen | 05/01 - 05/01 | 49 | 40 | Obama +9.0 |
| Zogby | 04/30 - 05/01 | 50 | 34 | Obama +16.0 |
| Research 2000 | 04/29 - 04/30 | 51 | 44 | Obama +7.0 |
| Mason-Dixon | 04/28 - 04/29 | 49 | 42 | Obama +7.0 |
| Insider Advantage | 04/29 - 04/29 | 42 | 44 | Clinton +2.0 |
| SurveyUSA | 04/26 - 04/28 | 49 | 44 | Obama +5.0 |
LOL - poor poor Clintonistas.
The title makes it look like Obama is all but defeated.
You guys are grasping at straws. Obama is the nom and there is no amount of silly blog posts that are going to change that fact.
Both things are true: Yes, Obama will be the nominee, but, yes, his double digit lead has vanished. A third thing that is true: The constant trashing of Clinton by his supporters and the media is not helping him. In the 1990s, constant, irrational trashing of Hillary Clinton by the GOP backfired and made her more popular.
