Pollster Discovers That Ed Rendell Endorsement Had Impact On Ed Rendell

Pennsylvania Gov. Ed Rendell recently took his first call from a pollster, the Associated Press notes. The governor was contacted by a representative of the Quinnipiac University Polling Institute, who asked where he stands in the race between Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton.

You may already know the answer to that question: Rendell is a Clinton backer who is featured in an ad put out by the campaign today. During the call, the governor was also asked if Ed Rendell's endorsement had an impact on his vote.

"I said, 'absolutely,'" Rendell told The Patriot-News newspaper in Harrisburg, according to the AP.

Rendell was one of 1,340 Pennsylvania Democrats contacted for the poll, which found that Clinton has a six point lead in the state.
