Poll: No clear Democratic frontrunner in New Hampshire

WASHINGTON (CNN) — Democrat Barack Obama remains neck-and-neck with rival Hillary Clinton in New Hampshire, according to a just-released L.A. Times/Bloomberg poll — the third survey in a row to show the Illinois senator tied or narrowly leading in a state the Clinton campaign hoped would serve as a firewall.

Obama leads Clinton 32 percent to 30 percent among likely Democratic voters in the new poll – a major shift from L.A. Times/Bloomberg's last survey in September when Clinton held a 19 point lead over Obama. John Edwards meanwhile is at 20 percent with the rest of the candidates in low single digits.

The poll follows the release of a Boston Globe poll late last week that also showed a 2-point lead for Obama in the Granite State, and a USA Today/ Gallup poll that found the two candidates tied....

The survey was conducted December 20-26 and carries a margin of error of plus or minus 4-6 percentage points.

1. the interesting thing to me

was the Edwards number. To me that means that if Edwards wins Iowa, he'll have a shot in New Hampshire.

3. I've noticed he's made some recent appearances in NH. nt

2. still a toss-up with that

MOE of 4 - 6 percentage points. It'll be a nail-biter (if one is prone to bite one's nails, that is) no matter how you slice and dice it.
