Monitor poll: Obama +1
Barack Obama has caught Hillary Clinton in the campaign for the Democratic presidential primary in New Hampshire, according to a Concord Monitor/Research 2000 poll to be published in tomorrow's paper. Here's the breakdown:
- Obama -- 32 percent
- Clinton -- 31 percent
- John Edwards -- 18 percent
- Bill Richardson -- 8 percent
- Dennis Kucinich -- 3 percent
- Joe Biden -- 2 percent
- Chris Dodd -- 1 percent
- Undecided -- 5 percent
- Margin of error: +/- 5 percentage points
The survey of 400 likely voters found Clinton leading among registered Democrats, 36-27, but trailing among undeclared voters, 40-23. There was very little difference between men (30-30) and women (Obama 34, Clinton 32) in the sample.
The survey also asked for a preference if the choices were limited to two candidates. Those results:
- Obama -- 45
- Clinton -- 41
- Clinton -- 47
- Edwards -- 41
- Obama -- 46
- Edwards -- 39
