CNN New Hampshire Poll: Clinton 31%, Obama 30%, Edwards 16%

[TeamJordan23]

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Barack Obama has chipped away at Hillary Clinton's lead in New Hampshire locking the Democrats in a statistical tie a month before the first presidential primary, according to a CNN/WMUR Poll released Wednesday.

Clinton has dropped 5 percentage points since a previous CNN/WMUR survey in November, while Obama has gained 8 percentage points, according to the poll conducted by the University of New Hampshire Survey Center. Clinton is now at 31 percent to Obama's 30 percent. New Hampshire's primary is set for January 8.

Clinton's 5-percentage point drop appears to have been largely due to the loss of support among women.

"Clinton's support among Democratic women in New Hampshire has dropped from 43 percent to 33 percent," said CNN Polling Director Keating Holland. "By contrast, her support among men dropped only 1 point to 27 percent in that same time period."

9. How bout...

the host of a debate that packed in Clinton Supporters, failed to challenge her on anything, and then propped her up even more with a post debate featuring one clinton contributor and another former clinton adviser.

4. From OP: "Latest CNN poll: Clinton viewed as most experienced, best chance of beating GOP."

"Clinton is still viewed by Democratic primary voters as having the most experience and the best chance of beating the Republican presidential nominee in November 2008."

And btw, good DU citizens check for dupes. This is the 84th time this has been posted today...
