Clinton falls behind Obama
Sen. Hillary Clinton's lead over Sen. Barack Obama has fallen 12 points, according to a Philadelphia Daily News/Franklin Marshall Poll.
"This [Pennsylvania] is a state she should do well in, and she has a lead, but the Clinton campaign's anxiety level has to be going up," poll director Terry Madonna told the Daily News.
The Daily News reported a 47 percent to 28 percent margin, while Obama held a 55 to 25 lead among nonwhites, with about one out of five in both categories undecided.
