This page contains the 2008 Pennsylvania Primary exit poll results from the election held on April 22, 2008. Election results are available on a separate page. The tense primary race between Barack Obama and Hillary Rodham Clinton has increased interest in the 2008 Pennsylvania Primary, and it was hoped that the race could bring some closure to the extended primary contest.
Contest summary
The Republican nominee is John McCain, and the Pennsylvania primary had no determinative value on the Republican side. Among the Democrats, Clinton won the state's popular vote by 10 points (after early projections had shown a 30-point lead). The margin was not significant enough to reverse Obama's advantage in both the popular vote and the delegate count, but has allowed Clinton to remain in the race. Had she lost Pennsylvania or won by a much smaller margin, she may have been forced to yield to pressure within the Democratic Party to drop out. With her win in Pennsylvania, attention turns to the 2008 Indiana Primary, scheduled for May 6, 2008, and to its 85 Democratic delegates. If Clinton does not drop out of the race before the 2008 Democratic Convention, the nominee will be decided by unpledged superdelegates, among whom Clinton currently holds a slight and uncertain advantage.
