WASHINGTON, May 9 (Xinhua) -- Despite a weakening position in the Democratic presidential nomination race, Sen. Hillary Clinton of New York is very popular among Democrats in West Virginia, the location of next primary, a survey showed on Friday.
The poll by TSG consulting showed Clinton lead 63-23 percent over rival Sen. Barrack Obama of Illinois in West Virginia, said the Charleston Gazette, a West Virginia newspaper.
The telephone poll of 300 Democratic and independent voters had an error margin of plus or minus 6 percent.
TSG president Tom Susman said if that vote held true on May 13,the primary day of West Virginia, it would give Clinton 18 national convention delegates to Obama's 10.
He said the situation was similar to West Virginia's neighboring states.
Ohio and Pennsylvania gave Clinton majorities while Kentucky will vote on May 20.
In Tuesday's primaries, Obama beat Clinton 56-42 percent in North Carolina as Clinton scored a 51-49 percent win over Obama in Indiana.
The overall impact of the two contests is to expand Obama's lead in delegates and increase pressure on Clinton to quit the race.
Must not be many blacks or college professors in W.Va.
Sounds like a state full of bitter clingers.
Oh, how splendid!
Must not be many of his core constituency in West Va.
Let the Fat Lady get ready to sing a little tune.
It depends on how one looks at it. Perhaps West Virginia isn’t filled the misogynistic, sexist pigs that oppose a woman being President like the states that voted for Obama.
