POLL: Reuters/Zogby National Primary
Eric Dienstfrey | December 19, 2007
A new Reuters/Zogby national survey of likely primary voters (conducted 12/12 through 12/14) finds:
- Among 432 likely Republican primary voters, former Mayor Rudy Giuliani edges out former Gov. Mike Huckabee (23% to 22%) in a national primary; former Gov. Mitt Romney trails at 16%, former Sen. Fred Thompson at 13%, Sen. John McCain at 12%.
- Among 436 likely Democratic primary voters, Sen. Hillary Clinton leads Sen. Barack Obama (40% to 32%) in a national primary; former Sen. John Edwards trails at 13%.
- All other candidates receive less than five percent each. The margin of sampling error is 4.8% for likely Republican primary voters and likely Democratic primary voters.
Comments
"Among Democrats, Clinton held a 40 percent to 32 percent lead over Obama, an Illinois senator, down slightly from 38 percent to 27 percent last month."
The post has last month's numbers.

This Zogby/Reuters poll has consistently been an outlier--numbers too high for Obama and too low for Clinton. For real news, check out Rasmussen today: Iowa--Clinton +4; NH--Clinton +3. So much for the Obama/Oprah surge.
