USA Today/Gallup NH poll: Obama 32, Clinton 32, Edwards 18

Obama makes gains, is even with Clinton in N.H.

PELHAM, N.H. — Democratic presidential hopefuls Hillary Rodham Clinton and Barack Obama are locked in a dead heat among New Hampshire voters in a statewide USA TODAY/Gallup Poll, underscoring the volatility of the race less than three weeks before the nation's first primary.

...The survey's fundamental finding is uncertainty: More than four of 10 voters in each party say they may change their minds before the Jan. 8 primary. That fluidity could magnify the impact of late-breaking news, last-minute gaffes and the Iowa caucuses that will open the presidential season five days earlier.

...Just last month, most Granite State surveys showed Clinton and Romney with double-digit leads. Now, Clinton's "firewall" against a possible setback in Iowa has weakened. Of eight statewide polls taken by other news organizations during the past two weeks, Clinton has led in six, Obama in two, according to RealClearPolitics.com.

...Democrats view Clinton as the candidate who knows how to get things done and is most likely to win the general election. But the New York senator ranks third, behind Illinois Sen. Obama and former North Carolina senator Edwards, as someone who offers new ideas and is "in touch with the average American."

Obama is seen as most likely to share voters' values and be willing to stand up for what he believes.

Last two polls have here with a 12 point lead and 14 point lead, and another poll has them tied....I like the third one though.

9. 4 out of 10 undecided?

If that is accurate, it means no one knows what will happen, which has
been my impression all along. All that money spent on all those polls,
just to tell us that no one knows what will be the outcome.

They should have donated it all to UNICEF, or given a few thousand ghetto
kids Ben and Jerry's gift certificates, or something.
