Poll: Clinton lead shrinks in Nevada as Obama gains

LAS VEGAS (AP) - New York Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton' iron grip on Nevada's Democratic presidential nomination has slipped as Illinois Sen. Barack Obama has surged, according to a newspaper poll.

According to the Dec. 3-5 telephone survey published in the Las Vegas Review-Journal, Clinton is favored by 34 percent of likely caucus-goers, compared to 26 percent for Obama.

In the paper's last poll, conducted in October, she had 39 percent to Obama's 21 percent. No other candidate registered in the double digits. Former North Carolina Sen. John Edwards got 9 percent, while New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson earned 7 percent.

1. Firewall number 2 is in flames...

7. I thought SC was firewall #2. Isn't Nevada #3?

Or will the argument now be that Hillary doesn't need any early state wins because Feb. 5 states are her firewall now? :-)

9. I don't think they were ever really counting on SC, but they thought NV was like the Iron Curtain

the Times they are a-Changin'

[ClarkUSA]

15. I'm sure the Reids are cooking up a caucus scheme to engineer a Clinton win as we type

I think they hoped to win SC especially after her 30+ point lead only a month ago but gave up after they heard about Oprah.

I hope you're right about "The Times Are A-Changin'" because I can't look at the Clintons these days without wanting to snarl or wince, depending on
the crap coming out of their lyin' mouths.

6. this must be really recent because Obama and Edwards were both in the teens til now

[ClarkUSA]

8. It looks as if both Hillary and Edwards support has shifted to Obama.

:toast:

17. that's an interesting point

I'm hoping the trend holds.

10. Interesting, I wonder how Hllary looks nation wide now...???

[ClarkUSA]

11. She ranges from a 10-30 point lead and has been trending down generally.

12. Remember there has been next to NO media coverage or ads

in the Super Tuesday states, at least in the South outside of SC. Most people are right now oblivious to what is happening and HRC still has the name recognition factor.

[ClarkUSA]

13. Very good point

Which accounts for the double-digit lead nationally. I'm not worried... didn't Hillary have a double digit lead in Iowa, NH, and SC just a month ago?

Where'd it all go?


:toast:

14. And Clinton Still Wins
