Poll gives Clinton edge in New Hampshire

Hillary Clinton has a 21-point lead over fellow Democrat Barack Obama in New Hampshire, one of the first states to vote in the nominating process for the 2008 US presidential election, a poll showed on Sunday. In a poll by Marist College Institute for Public Opinion, 41% of likely Democratic voters support Clinton followed by 20% for Obama, a first-term senator from Illinois. Former Senator John Edwards was third with 11%.
Among likely Republican voters, former Massachusetts Gov Mitt Romney had a slight lead with 26% support, followed by 20% for former New York mayor Rudy Giuliani and 17% for Arizona Senator John McCain. Former Tennessee Senator Fred Thompson, who officially entered the race last month, had 10% support. The poll surveyed 1,512 registered New Hampshire voters and has a margin of error of 5 percentage points for the results for Democrats and 5.5 percentage points for Republicans. New Hampshire’s primaries are traditionally among the first in the US and considered a key proving ground for presidential hopefuls.
