The gender gap is a key factor in this latest survey, as women support Sen. Clinton 55 - 39 percent, while men back Sen. Obama by a mirror image 55 - 39 percent margin. Clinton's strength among lower income voters, 50 - 44 percent, and among older voters, 55 - 39 percent, also gives her an edge over Obama.

The Illinois Senator leads 58 - 37 percent among voters under 45. He also gets 90 percent of the black vote, while Clinton leads 60 - 34 percent among whites.

"The profiles of the Clinton voter and the Obama voter in Ohio are almost mirror images," said Peter Brown, assistant director of the Quinnipiac University Polling Institute. "Men are for him; women for her. Those higher on the socio-economic scale are for him; those lower for her. Older people are for her; younger voters for him.

"The big unknown is turnout. It's not just whether it is higher than normal, which everyone expects it to be. The key question is whether turnout is disproportionately higher among some demographic groups than others."

But there's one undeniable fact among Democrats: They overwhelmingly think that Obama will win the November election, regardless of whom they support in the primary. Even nearly a third of Clinton supporters in the poll expect Obama to be the next president.

One of them is Diana Brenner, a 54-year-old psychologist from Columbus, who said she likes Clinton's experience and the way she can specifically explain her positions on health care and the economy.

But Brenner still thinks Obama is going to win.

"This country is so tired, especially after the last seven years, of such a negative environment," she said. "He seems so new and fresh that I think people are being swayed in his direction because of that."

Ohio is generally considered a must-win "firewall" for Clinton, although her supporters are now saying she has to win only two of the remaining three major states. Texas also votes Tuesday, while Pennsylvania's primary isn't until April 22.

But because of complicated rules for selecting Democratic delegates, modest Clinton victories provide little help in narrowing Obama's overall lead.

The two Democrats have drawn dead-even to the tenth of a percent (44.8% each), as Clinton continued to show strength in northern Ohio outside Cleveland, but trailed Obama badly in northeast Ohio and in burgeoning central Ohio, where the capital city of Columbus is home to many state government workers. Clinton leads in the more sparsely-populated, less affluent southern Ohio region. She also retains a small lead among Catholics, an important voting bloc in this Rust Belt state.

Recognizing her slide in the polls and the must-win status of next week�s primaries in both Ohio and Texas, Clinton has released a tough new ad raising questions about Obama�s ability to handle national security issues. Obama�s team responded by re-releasing an ad from earlier in the campaign. Looking ahead to the general election, McCain already has a huge advantage over Obama on the national security issue. In fact, just 51% of Democrats trust Obama more than McCain on that topic.

Just 16% of Likely Democratic Primary Voters believe the North American Free Trade Agreement�NAFTA�is good for America. Fifty-five percent (55%) say the trade agreement negotiated by the Clinton Administration is bad for the nation. Those numbers are unchanged over the past week.

Ohio voters still tend to see Obama as opposed to NAFTA while Clinton�s position is less clear. The current survey finds that 58% believe Obama opposes NAFTA, up from 53% before the Tuesday night debate. Seventeen percent (17%) believe the Illinois Senator favors that trade agreement.

For Clinton, 34% believe she favors NAFTA, little changed since the debate. However, 38% now believe she opposes that agreement, up from 31% in the previous survey.

Clinton leads by eight among women and trails by six among men.

Clinton holds a slim lead that has diminished steadily in past weeks. Her strength stems from the same demographic groups that carried her to victories earlier in the campaign, but the trend appears to favor Obama, as late deciders are more likely to support him over her, the survey shows, and 9% of Ohio Democrats say they have yet to make up their minds. Another five percent voiced favor for another candidate not now in the race. Some of those may have already voted, but some may have yet to do so.

�Ohio is very tight for the Democrats and is a throwback to the earlier Clinton-Obama races. Clinton leads among Democrats, women, voters over 50, and everywhere outside the three big cities. She also leads among Catholics, voters in union households, and moderates. Obama leads among voters under 50, especially those under 30, and among liberals.

�But the most telling numbers are those among early deciders vs. late deciders. Among those who made up their minds �more than a month ago�, Clinton leads 63% to 37%. Obama leads but margins as big among those who made up their minds less than a month ago, a week ago, and within the past few days. In the same vein, Clinton leads by 6 among those who have already voted.�

Just 16% of Likely Democratic Primary Voters believe the North American Free Trade Agreement�NAFTA�is good for America. Fifty-five percent (55%) say the trade agreement negotiated by the Clinton Administration is bad for the nation.

By a 53% to 14% margin, voters believe that Obama opposes NAFTA while there are mixed perceptions on where Clinton stands. Thirty-five percent (35%) believe she favors NAFTA, 31% believe she opposes it and 34% are not sure. This issue is critical in a state that has lost thousands of manufacturing jobs. Politically, these lower-income voters have generally supportive of Clinton throughout the primary season.

Clinton still leads among voters who earn less than $60,000 a year. Obama leads among higher income voters.

Clinton leads by eleven points among women but trails by four among men. A recent commentary by Susan Estrich wondered if the �G-word��gender�is the reason for Clinton�s struggles.

In Ohio, Clinton is viewed favorably by 77%, down four points since last week. Obama has earned favorable reviews from 72%, up a couple of points over the past week.

Seventy-seven percent (77%) of Likely Democratic Primary Voters say that Clinton would be at least somewhat likely to win the White House if nominated. That�s down five points from 82% a week ago.

Seventy-nine percent (79%) say the same about Obama. That�s up four points over the past week.

Step-By-Step, Inch-By-Inch, Obama Tip-Toes Up To Clinton's Back Door in Ohio: In a Democratic Primary in Ohio today, 02/26/08, the day the candidates debate in Cleveland, and 7 days before the votes are counted, Hillary Clinton is 6 points in front of Barack Obama, 50% to 44%, according to a SurveyUSA poll conducted for WCMH-TV Columbus, WKYC-TV Cleveland, WCPO-TV Cincinnati, and WHIO-TV Dayton. Two weeks ago, Clinton led by 17. One week ago, Clinton led by 9. Today: 6. Clinton holds her ground in greater Cleveland, greater Columbus, and greater Cincinnati. Clinton is steady among seniors, among voters focused on Health Care, among Moderates, among Pro-Choicers, and among women. Though Clinton trails among men, Obama has stopped making further inroads there. However: Among registered Democrats, Clinton had led by 21, then led by 17, now leads by 8. Among voters under age 50, Clinton had led by 9, then trailed by 2, now trails by 7. Among Pro-Life voters, Clinton had led by 11, then led by 8, now trails by 5. Among voters focused on the Economy, Clinton had led by 25, then by 21, now by 14. In greater Toledo, Clinton had led by 29, now leads by 1. Early voting favors Clinton:Among the 12% of respondents who tell SurveyUSA they have already voted, Clinton leads by 22 points. For Obama to win Ohio, he must receive at least 52% of the remaining likely voters. If Clinton gets more than 48% of the remaining Democratic Primary votes, Clinton wins the state. Because the convention delegates are allocated proportionally, a win for either candidate is not as profound as the symbolism that goes with it.

Obama�s surge appears to be at least partially attributable to the virtual certainly that John McCain will be nominated on the Republican side. That means more independents and Republicans in the state are planning to vote in the Democratic primary. While Obama trails Clinton 56-40 among self identified Democrats, he leads 80-13 with Republicans and 64-33 with independents.

�Hillary Clinton is in big trouble,� said Dean Debnam, President of Public Policy Polling. �As recently as a week ago many polls in the state were showing her with around a 20 point lead. The race is trending heavily toward Obama and time is on his side with another eight day before the voting.�

The standard racial and gender disparities in support between Clinton and Obama apply in Ohio. She leads 55-42 with women, while he leads 51-45 with men. She has a 56-38 advantage with white voters, while he leads 76-24 with African American voters.

In Ohio, Clinton is viewed favorably by 81%, Obama by 70%. Those figures have changed little over the past week.

Eighty-two percent (82%) of Likely Democratic Primary Voters say that Clinton would be at least somewhat likely to win the White House if nominated. Seventy-five percent (75%) say the same about Obama. Those figures are similar to the earlier survey as well.

Fifty-one percent (51%) of Ohio voters name the economy as the top voting issue. Eighteen percent (18%) say it�s the War in Iraq while 14% name Health Care issues as the top priority.

Ohio is one of two states that the Clinton campaign and many outside experts have deemed essential for the former First Lady to win is she is to have a chance of winning the Democratic Presidential nomination. Texas, which also votes on March 4, is the other. The latest Rasmussen Reports poll in Texas shows Clinton�s lead is down to three points.

Among Conservatives, Huckabee had led by 3, now trails by 27, a 30-point swing. Among voters who attend religious services regularly, McCain had been up by 1, now is up by 24, a 23-point swing in his direction. Among Pro-Life voters, Huckabee had been tied, now trails McCain by 20.

Huckabee Starts with Strong Base in Proportionally Allocated Ohio; Will It Be There in March? Will He? In a Republican Primary today, 02/12/08, the day of the Virginia and Maryland Republican primaries and 21 days until the Ohio Republican Primary, Mike Huckabee supporters have not yet gotten the "rally round the nominee" memo, according to a SurveyUSA poll conducted for WCPO-TV Cincinnati, WCMH-TV Columbus, and WEWS-TV Cleveland. McCain is at 50%, and well-positioned to capture a majority of Ohio's 88 proportionally allocated delegates. But because Ohio is not Winner-Take-All, Huckabee's 36% is significant, even if only symbolically. Among Conservatives, among those who attend church regularly and among Pro-Life voters, Huckabee and McCain are effectively tied. Among Moderates, McCain leads by 41 points. Among Pro-Choice voters McCain leads by 43 points.
