After three weeks of shifts toward Obama, the percentages in a new Quinnipiac University survey remained unchanged from one taken a week earlier. She leads 50-44 percent.

A new SurveyUSA poll showed Clinton leading 54-40 percent. Three percent chose the "other" category. The last SurveyUSA poll a week ago had Clinton leading 56-38 percent.

The latest Philadelphia Daily News/Franklin and Marshall College poll showed Clinton clinging to a 46-40 percent lead over Obama. In March, Clinton led 51 percent to 35 percent.

Susquehanna Polling and Research showed Clinton with a 40-37 percent lead over Obama, a drop from a March 5-10 survey, in which Clinton led by a 45-31 percent margin.

One poll showed a marked shift in Clinton's favor. ARG found Clinton leading Obama 57-37 percent on April 11-13. The week before, ARG had the pair tied 45-45 percent.
