...helpful to them?”THE NUMBERS ON THE NUMBERSFor Harvard students at least, the “help” factor that Herzog spoke of seemed to be interestingly divided. Like with many things in life, men and women were firmly split on this topic. In a poll with 75 Harvard students—42 women and 33 men—an overwhelming majority of the women says that the HUDS’s calorie-count and portion-size cards affected their food choices moderately to significantly, while an even larger majority of men polled says that...

"They can't afford to let it alone even though it won't give anyone enough pledged delegates for a victory at the convention." Madonna's latest poll, taken in mid-February, shows Clinton holding a good lead in Pennsylvania, 44 to 32 percent, but Obama has closed the gap since January, when he was 20 points down.

The Obama campaign seemed caught off guard by allegations that a top adviser sent signals to Canada that Obama's tough talk on NAFTA was merely political posturing.

"Right after the Wisconsin primary there was an eroding of her poll numbers in Ohio," said Ted Strickland, Ohio's governor. "The closer we got to election day, the better I felt...
...Still, ever mindful of downplaying expectations, the Obama campaign is quick to stress that Ohio has been an uphill fight for them. "Two months ago we were down by 20 points here," said Ben LaBolt, Obama's Ohio spokesman. "And we're still behind in the polls. This was always going to be a tough state for us." Indeed, not only does Obama still trail the New York Senator by 4 percentage points, according to a Real Clear Politics average of Ohio polls, but amongst union voters he trails her 56% to 34% in the latest Cleveland Plain Dealer poll...
