For Hillary, The Defeat goes On

It seems like everything is going against Hillary Clinton. It looks like Obama is catching up with Ms.Clinton in Pennsylvania. And if she loses there it will definitely be over:

Barack Obama has gained support in the latest Gallup Poll Daily tracking report for April 4-6, and now leads Hillary Clinton by a statistically significant margin, 52% to 43%.

Obama's current 52% support level matches his highest of the year, although his margin over Clinton was slightly larger, at 52% to 42%, in March 27-29 polling.

Obama is catching up to her in Pennsylvania:

New Quinnipiac poll in Pennsylvania (April 3-6, 1,340 Dem LV, MoE +/- 2.6%) showing Obama closing the gap slightly with Clinton:

Clinton 50 (nc vs. last poll April 2)
Obama 44 (+3)

Overall, Clinton's lead in the RCP Average for Pennsylvania slipped another half point down to 6.1%.

Some notes on the Quinnipiac results:

* Obama gained on Clinton across virtually every demographic group, including women.

Obama is leading in Oregon:

SurveyUSA is out with a new poll in Oregon (April 4-6, 597 LV): Obama 52, Clinton 42, Undecided 3

At least Hillary has the white vote:

Add this to the divisive debate over race in the presidential campaign: Whites who said race was important in picking their candidate have been about twice as likely to back Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton as Sen. Barack Obama.

Exit polls of voters in Democratic primaries also show that whites who considered the contender's race - Clinton is white, Obama is black - were three times likelier to say they would only be satisfied with Clinton as the nominee than if Obama were chosen.

The figures shed some light on race's effect on a competition that moves to the April 22 primary in Pennsylvania, which has a slightly greater proportion of whites than average. The numbers also underscore the challenge Obama could face in the general election, when whites will comprise a larger share of voters and tend to be more conservative than those participating in the Democratic primaries.

And she is still trying to pander and granstand. All she left with jumping on the bandwagon coming out in favor of the boycotting of the China Olympics ceremony. If she were really sincere Hillary would've taken this stand earlier when Speaker Pelosi spoke out:

U.S. Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton urged President George W. Bush on Monday to boycott the Beijing Olympics opening ceremonies this summer unless China improves human rights.

Clinton, in a statement, cited violent clashes in Tibet and the lack of pressure by China on Sudan to stop "the genocide in Darfur."

"At this time, and in light of recent events, I believe President Bush should not plan on attending the opening ceremonies in Beijing, absent major changes by the Chinese government," the New York senator said.

Bush plans to attend the Summer Olympics ceremonies in Beijing in August and so far has resisted pressure to change his plans in response to a violent crackdown against protesters in Tibet by Chinese authorities.

China has also been accused of refusing to use its influence on the Sudanese government to get it to stop what the United States calls a genocide in the Darfur region.

Clinton has gone a step further than U.S. House of Representatives Speaker Nancy Pelosi of California who last week urged Bush to keep the option of boycotting the ceremonies on the table.

"I encourage the Chinese to take advantage of this moment as an opportunity to live up to universal human aspirations of respect for human rights and unity, ideals that the Olympic games have come to represent," Clinton said.
