Obama edges ahead of Clinton in New Hampshire poll
Fri Dec 14, 2007 10:03am EST
BOSTON (Reuters) - Democratic Sen. Barack Obama has edged ahead of rival Hillary Clinton in New Hampshire less than a month before the state's nominating primary in the 2008 race for the White House, a new poll showed on Friday.

The Concord Monitor newspaper poll showed the U.S. senator from Illinois leading Clinton 32 percent to 31 percent in New Hampshire, which on January 8 holds the first primary in the run-up to the November 2008 presidential election. The survey had a 4 percentage point error margin.

It mirrors other polls this week showing the New York senator's lead vanishing in New Hampshire, suggesting a fiercely competitive race in a state where the former first lady led by a comfortable margin just weeks ago.

On Wednesday, a WMUR-TV/CNN poll showed the race a statistical dead heat with Clinton leading Obama 31 percent to 30 percent. In September, Clinton enjoyed a commanding lead of more than 20 points over Obama.

New Hampshire's primary helps kick off the state-by-state battle to pick candidates for the November 8, 2008, election. The midwestern state of Iowa holds the first contest of the party nominating process with its January 3 caucuses.

The Monitor said much of Obama's backing comes from undeclared voters while registered Democrats gave the most support to Clinton.

New Hampshire allows independents -- not just registered Republicans and Democrats -- to vote in its primary and they can choose either a Republican or a Democratic ballot.

Former North Carolina Sen. John Edwards was in third place in the Monitor poll with 18 percent, followed by New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson at 8 percent.

Among Republicans, former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney leads his Republican rivals in New Hampshire with 31 percent support, followed by former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani at 18 percent and Arizona Sen. John McCain at 17 percent.

Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee remains mired in single digits at 9 percent in New Hampshire despite a rapid rise in national polls, the Monitor poll showed.

The Monitor poll was conducted on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday and surveyed 600 likely voters.

<font size="5"><center>Poll: Obama opens double-digit lead over Clinton</font size></center>

CNN
By Paul Steinhauser
CNN Deputy Political Director

MANCHESTER, New Hampshire (CNN) -- Two days before New Hampshire's Democratic primary, Sen. Barack Obama has opened a double-digit lead over Sen. Hillary Clinton in that state, a new CNN-WMUR poll found Sunday.

Obama, the first-term senator from Illinois who won last week's Iowa caucuses, led the New York senator and former first lady 39 percent to 29 percent in a poll conducted Saturday and Sunday -- a sharp change from a poll out Saturday that showed the Democratic front-runners tied at 33 percent.

Support for former Sen. John Edwards, who edged out Clinton for second place in Iowa, dropped from 20 percent in Saturday's poll to 16 percent.

On the Republican side, Sen.John McCain leads former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney by a narrower margin -- 32 percent to 26 percent, the survey found. Former Arkansas Gov.Mike Huckabee -- whose upset win in Iowa came after being outspent by millions of dollars by Romney -- passed former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani to gain third place.

In Saturday's poll, Giuliani had 14 percent and Huckabee had 11 percent; those numbers were reversed on Sunday.

The results suggest that Huckabee's win in Iowa, which saw him win strong support among evangelical Christian voters, is giving him momentum in more secular, libertarian-oriented New Hampshire, Schneider said.

Among other Republicans, anti-war Texas congressman and onetime Libertarian Party presidential nominee Ron Paul was in fifth place at 10 percent in the poll, with Rep. Duncan Hunter of California and former Sen. Fred Thompson of Tennessee both at 1 percent.

The poll, conducted by the University of New Hampshire, surveyed 341 Democrats and 268 Republicans likely to vote in Tuesday's primary. It had a sampling error of 5 percentage points. Watch how the candidates rank in polls »

"The Iowa caucus results have convinced growing numbers of Granite State voters that Obama can really go all the way," CNN Polling Director Keating Holland said. "In December, 45 percent thought Clinton had the best chance of beating the GOP nominee. But in Saturday's poll, Clinton and Obama were tied on that measure, and now Obama has a 42 percent to 31 percent edge over Clinton on electability."

And CNN Senior Political Analyst Bill Schneider said the poll "strongly suggests an Obama surge in New Hampshire."

"Obama's gaining about three points a day, at the expense of both Clinton and Edwards," Schneider said. "Obama's lead has now hit double digits going into the home stretch."

New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson ranked fourth among the Democratic contenders with 7 percent, while Ohio Rep. Dennis Kucinich trailed at 2 percent. Former Alaska Sen. Mike Gravel had less than one half of 1 percent support.

Crucial to the outcome in New Hampshire are the state's independent voters, who make up around 40 percent of the electorate, and who can vote in either party's primary. The poll indicates that a growing number of registered Independents say they will vote in the GOP contest, which is a switch from just a month ago.

"That should be bad news for Obama, who was generally considered the favorite of Independents, but after the Iowa caucuses the Illinois senator has been building his support among registered Democrats and now leads Clinton among registered Democrats as well as Independents," says Holland.


Obama also appears to be pulling even with Clinton among women, a voting block that she once dominated in the polls. And when asked which candidate has the best chance of beating the Republican presidential nominee, likely Democratic primary voters now choose Obama over Clinton 42 percent to 31 percent.

That's a dramatic reversal from the last CNN/WMUR New Hampshire poll taken after Christmas and just before the Iowa caucuses, when Clinton beat Obama in electability by a two to one margin.

<h3>
<a name="p1"></a>Obama, McCain Lead In 8 Of 10 NH Polls</h3>
<p>On the eve of the New Hampshire primary, a slew of polls show confirm both parties' races are too close to call. On the Democratic side, Sen. Barack Obama is winning in 8 of 10 surveys over Sen. Hillary Clinton. Similarly, Sen. John McCain holds a lead in 8 of the 10 surveys over Mitt Romney, who is leading in the other two.

I guess this will mute the I hate Hillary posts, at least for a moment. I still don’t know why the republicans hate Hillary. In order for her to bring out more votes in New Hampshire, she brought out the” I support for the Iraq war” card. You can bet that Edwards scares them the most.

Hillary brought out the NH votes from women with her crying ploy. Look at the post voting interviews from women and notice the 20 point swing in votes from IOWA to NH in terms of votes from women. Women said they actually cried when Hillary was "choked up" and they felt "connected" with her after that event. Brilliant ploy by the Clinton Campaign. Women delivered the victory for Hillary in NH...though she only TIED with Obama in terms of delegates.

Re: Obama's losing New Hampshire speech. & Clintons New Hampshire victory speech

The only reason Clinton won was because she made poeple feel like she was hurt and that the big black man was beating her she played the race shit on everyone sub consciously. White people don't want to see a white woman hurt by a black man.. "ohh the big black man is hurting me, save me white people"
