Poll: NJ primary now in play; Clinton's lead falls to six points
Hillary Clinton’s lead over Barack Obama in New Jersey has narrowed to 44%-38%, according to a private poll commissioned by one of the state’s most powerful Democratic leaders, George Norcross. The poll, conducted by Greenberg Quinlan Rosner on January 30-31, was distributed to some Norcross allies earlier this morning and obtained by PolitickerNJ.com.
A Quinnipiac University poll released on January 23 had Clinton with a 17-point lead, 49%-32%.
OHMIGOD the Clinton campaign is collapsing!!!!
Or not.
Whenever *I* see poll numbers I do what many reasonable people do, I check it out at RealClear Politics. When I click on the New Jersey page I see three polls, two that came out yesterday, the other the day before.
GQR (1/31) - Sample 600 Likely Voters - Clinton 44% Obama 38% - 11% Undecided
Survey USA (1/31) - Sample 642 Likely Voters - Clinton 51% Obama 39% - 6% Undecided
Rassmussen (1/30) - Sample 700 Likely Voters - Clinton 49% Obama 37% - Undecided not given
So...what does this mean? It means Obama has, in all probability, little chance to win in New Jersey.
So why should we be hysterical exactly?
