Zogby is reporting as follows, that there is a late surge for Clinton in Pennsylvania and that her margin is being given to her by white, ethnic, Catholic men. It also seems clear that as undecided voters (which fell recently from 8% to 6%) and those who wanted “someone else” (fell from 4% to 3%) have made up their minds, they have tended to go for Clinton. Otherwise Obama’s percentages have been pretty stable though perhaps falling slightly. Clinton’s increases are beyond the margin of error.

McClatchy points out that a 10-point win just won’t do it for Clinton.
