We gave you the results of a Zogby poll earlier that puts Barack Obama ahead so now here are the results of a Survey USA Election Poll that puts Senator Hillary Clinton way ahead:
Clinton Appears to Blunt Late Obama Charge in California: 24 hours till votes are counted in the California Democratic Primary, Hillary Clinton appears to fend-off a late charge from Barack Obama, 52% Clinton, 42% Obama, according to SurveyUSA’s 13th and final pre-primary tracking poll.
Obama leads among men. Clinton leads among women. 44-point Gender Gap. Clinton leads among whites. Obama leads among blacks. 53-point Race Gap. Among younger voters, Clinton leads by 3. Among older voters, Clinton leads by 18. In greater San Francisco, the contest is tied. In the Central Valley, Clinton leads by 7. In greater Los Angeles, Clinton leads by 15. In the Inland Empire, Clinton leads by 16.
Choose your poll according to your political bias, say it’s a great poll and trustworthy — and accuse the one you don’t like of having lousy methodology and being unreliable. That’s the way the game is played…
You’ll know whether you made a good choice later tonight..
UPDATE: A new Gallup daily tracking poll says Clinton has stopped Obama’s momentum nationally as well.
