The WISH-TV Indiana Poll shows Hillary Clinton with a slight lead in the battle to win the Indiana May primary. At the same time, Barack Obama runs strong among Democrats in Central Indiana. Hillary Clinton’s all-out effort in Indiana is explained in the WISH-TV Indiana poll. Her lead is just three points, 49-to-46, inside the margin of error (March 31-April 2, 400 likely registered, +/-5 ). At the "Hoosiers for Hillary" headquarters there is little cause for celebration. "I think it’s encouraging but I think it’s still very early, we still have five weeks to go. It’s gonna be a tough, competitive race," said Indiana Clinton Campaign Coordinator Joe Hogsett. "It underlines just how much of a pivotal role the people of Indiana are gonna play in the election this year in selecting the next President of the United States," said Kevin Griffis of the Obama campaign. In the Indianapolis metro area Obama holds a big lead, 57-to-38, and it’s clear that the two candidates appeal to different segments of the Democratic Party.Clinton wins support from 55 percent of the women and 60 percent of the older voters. With just one Indiana campaign stop so far, Obama has backing from 81 percent of the black voters and 63 percent of voters 29 and under."Senator Obama hasn’t gotten a chance to make his case in a way that we’re going to the rest of this campaign, in a personal way," said Griffis.The Clinton campaign still argues that Obama has an advantage in Indiana. "An overwhelming number of Democratic primary voters reside in northwest Indiana and for all practical purposes they see Senator Obama on TV every single day," said Hogsett.
