Quinnipiac Ohio Poll: Clinton Leads by 11 Points

A poll just released by Quinnipiac University shows Hillary Clinton leading among likely Democratic voters in Ohio by eleven points (numbers in parens are from February 14th):

51% (55%) Clinton
40% (34%) Obama

This result shows Obama cutting into Clinton's once formidable lead, but still with far to go one week before OT Tuesday.

Obama leads 68% to 20% among African American voters in Ohio, while Clinton leads among whites 59% to 33%. Clinton retains a strong lead among women at 53% to 36%, but her previous lead of 46% to 41% among college-educated voters has completely flipped -- Obama now has a huge 58% to 36% lead in that category.

Ohio voters disapprove of the job President Bush is doing by 69% to 28%, his lowest score ever in the state. A majority (65%) say the U.S. economy is in a recession, although a lesser majority (56%) say that their own personal finances are "excellent" or "good."

Voters also say that going to war in Iraq was the wrong thing to do (62% to 31%).

This poll was taken February 18 - 23. There were 741 likely Democratic primary voters interviewed, with a margin of error of 3.6 points.
