April 2, 2008 -- WASHINGTON - Barack Obama has cut deeply into Hillary Rodham Clinton's lead in Pennsylvania, coming to within 5 percentage points in a new poll as the two rivals fought toe-to-toe over the same turf yesterday.
Sen. Clinton leads Sen. Obama by 47-42 percent in a new Rasmussen Reports survey. Just a week ago, Clinton was up 10 percentage points, and in early March she was ahead by 15.
"If Obama is able to pull off an upset in the Keystone State, it would effectively end the race for the Democratic nomination," wrote Scott Rasmussen in an analysis of the poll.
Clinton has been slipping over the past 10 days since her story that she came under sniper fire during a visit to Bosnia in 1996 was debunked.
Her admission that the story was false has received huge play in the media and she has come under heavy attack from the Obama campaign and other critics who say it calls her whole record of accomplishment into question.

“Have you seen the Rev. Wright clips?
How could Obama possible surive commercials with those clips? If you think there is even a remote possibility then you and I are hopelessly different in our view of the electorate.”
Have you seen Obama’s race speech, in reply to the clips? Oh sure, it didn’t really address the real issues of his involvement in the church. But the media ate it up, and so the public did too. He’s successfully smeared a former democrat president, who once had a 90% approval rating in the black community, as a racist. What will he do to John McCain, if he was able to do that to someone who black voters adored? I’m astonished how many people seem not to see what’s coming, should Obama be nominated. Even posting a picture of Reverand Wright, much less a clip of his speech, will be instantly nailed as racist “John McCain must think all blacks are the same” propoganda. And supposed conservatives who have helped accuse Obama’s opponents of racism, largely because they’ve enjoyed damaging the Clinton campaign, will be exposed as the idiots they are. What’s the point of cheering on an enemies tactics in winning a battle, knowing that enemy will later turn on us with the same tactics? It’s foolishness. And it’s happened with alarming regularity.
