A new poll in Pennsylvania may be the first indication that Obama's verbal gaffe last weekend in San Francisco is not going over well with the public.
A new ARG poll, which last week showed Obama tied with Hillary Clinton at 45% each, now shows a massive shift away from the Illinois senator with Hillary up by 20 points 57-37:
Hillary Clinton leads Barack Obama 48% to 44% among men (45% of likely Democratic primary voters).
Among women, Clinton leads 64% to 31%. Clinton leads 64% to 29% among white voters (82% of likely Democratic primary voters).
Obama leads 79% to 18% among African American voters (14% of likely Democratic primary voters).
Clinton leads 52% to 43% among voters age 18 to 49 (50% of likely Democratic primary voters) and Clinton leads 62% to 31% among voters age 50 and older.
One other fascinating number from this poll; 23% of voters say that "excessive exposure to Obama's advertising is causing them to support Clinton."
I guess when you raise $40 million a month, it's not always a good idea to blanket the airwaves with your ads.
