PITTSBURGH, Aug. 13 (UPI) -- A poll in the U.S. presidential battleground state of Pennsylvania indicates a slim, five-point lead for likely Democratic nominee Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill.
The results were within the Franklin & Marshall College Keystone Poll's four-point margin of error, making the contest among likely voters a statistical dead heat, the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review reported Monday. When the results are enlarged to include all voters, Obama's lead over likely Republican opponent U.S. Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., increases to 8 points.
