Pollsters give me a headache

Arrrrgh, the pollsters are annoying me in Indiana

A new poll released today shows that the Democratic Presidential Primary race in Indiana is too close to call. The second Howey-Gauge Poll shows that Barack Obama leads Hillary Clinton 47 to 45 percent. Among likely Democratic voters, they are tied at 46 percent.

Okay so Obama’s slightly ahead…no wait

Public Policy Polling Clinton 50/Obama 42

SurveyUSA Clinton 52/Obama 43

Ok so Clinton’s ahead…no wait

Research 2000 Obama 48/Clinton 47

Selzer Obama 41/Clinton 38

Obama’s ahead

—————

Ok so to keep from getting dizzy I go to the RCP average, now this average is not perfect, because its just a straight average of the more recent polls, but its better than what we have at the moment, and they have: Clinton ahead by about 2.2 points

So it appears close but Obama has some ground to make up if he wants to overtake her
