Bad sign for McCain, Obama had a very bad month and he is just ahead of him by a point.

Fine by me...as I still do not expect McCain to win Pennsylvania.

Rasmussen seems to be alternating between huge Obama wins and McCain squeakers in this state:


        Obama   McCain   Undecided
2/14:   49          39          12
3/10:   43          44          13
4/9:     47          39          14
4/24:   43          44           6  (7% independent)

The only other pollsters to poll Pennsylvania consistently aren't much help either.  Quinnipiac has shown a slight Obama lead usually just outside the MOE but they haven't polled this race since 3/31.  Stratgeic Vision(R) has shown McCain winning at or outside the margin of error in all of their polls beginning in March and going through the day before the primary but as noted they are Republican leaning.
