RINDGE, NH – As the 2008 New Hampshire Presidential Primary approaches, Senator
Hillary Clinton maintains a narrow lead over her Democratic rivals in the latest Franklin Pierce University/WBZ TV polle, but the margin between her and her closest competitor, Barack Obama, has dwindled to just four points. In March, Clinton (32%) held a 7-point lead over Obama (25%). In June, following the Democratic debate, Clinton commanded a much larger number (38%) of Democratic primary voters than Obama (16%), a lead she maintained in September. But today, Clinton’s lead has dropped to only four points, with Clinton at 32 percent and Obama close behind at 28 percent. Notably, John Edwards support has risen from 12 percent in September to 19 percent in the current poll.
In the latest Franklin Pierce poll, it appears that Barack Obama continues to hold onto the teen vote, with 15% of his supporters coming from the 18-34 year old category the most compared to the top three democratic candidates-Clinton and Edwards with 4% of their support coming from that agre bracket.
The findings outlined in this report are based on the latest Franklin Pierce
University / WBZ Poll, conducted by RKM Research and Communication in collaboration
with faculty and student interviewers at Franklin Pierce University. The Franklin Pierce
University / WBZ Poll is sponsored by Franklin Pierce University and WBZ.
