It’s the day before the Oregon and Kentucky primaries, and the latest polls show Clinton closing the gap with Obama in Oregon where he no longer holds a double-digit lead, and she's headed for another blowout victory in Kentucky.
As reported by Political Intelligence (Boston Globe), “Obama leads 45 percent to 41 percent with 8 percent undecided and 6 percent refusing a response, according to a Suffolk University survey released this morning. An American Research Group survey puts Obama's lead at 50 percent to 45 percent.”
Political Intel reports that “Clinton continues to lead handily in every poll in Kentucky, which also votes Tuesday. In a Suffolk survey released today, she leads Obama 51 percent to 25 percent, followed by John Edwards with 6 percent, "uncommitted" with 5 percent, while 11 percent were undecided.”
“But,” Political Intel continues, “she {Clinton} isn't taking any chances and hopes to win big enough to cut into Obama's lead in the total popular vote, campaigning all day in the Bluegrass State. She plans her primary night rally in Louisville.”
Go, Hillary!
P.S.
Obama's rumored victory lap on Tuesday night in Iowa has apparently been cancelled although he's still planning to hold a rally there. Something must have deflated his hubris - at least temporarily.
