POLL: CBS Dem NH Primary
A new CBS News statewide survey (story, results) of 323 likely Democratic primary voters in New Hampshire (conducted 1/5 through 1/6) finds:
- Sen. Barack Obama runs at 35%, Sen. Hillary Clinton at 28% in a statewide primary; former Sen. John Edwards trails at 19%, Gov. Bill Richardson at 5%.
- This poll is what pollsters call a "panel-back" survey: "This poll was conducted by telephone January 5-6, 2008 among registered voters in New Hampshire, first interviewed by CBS News and the New York Times November 9-12th, 2007."
- Senator Clinton "lost almost one in five of her November voters to Obama, and 10% of her voters have gone to Edwards. Obama, meanwhile, has kept 95% of the individual voters he had in November.
All other candidates receive less than five percent each. The margin of sampling error is 5%.
