New National Poll: Democratic Dead Head; McCain Pulls Ahead?

According to a new poll by Zogby and Reuters, it's a statistical dead head between Hillary Clinton (39%) and Barack Obama (38%) nationally (John Edwards is far behind at 9%).


Those are some nice looking trend lines for Barack Obama heading into what will be a de facto national primary on February 5.  The question is, will Obama's rise in the national polls translate into success in states like California, New Jersey, New Mexico and Georgia on Tsunami Tuesday?

The Republican results are on the "flip," but basically it looks like John McCain pulling ahead with GHOUL-iani totally collapsing (brilliant strategy to skip all the early states!), Mitt-mentum fading, and Huckster-bee hanging in there.  Oh yeah, don't count out Grumpy Grandpa Fred Thompson, asleep in a corner somewhere but still in third place at 14%.

careful, data may be out of date (teacherken - 1/21/2008 3:08:34 PM)
Polling was 10th and 11th of January.

Since then you have had Nevada, and how the media has played it.  It is interesting that there is a statistical dead heat even after New Hampshire.

We will have to see what happens in SC (and independents can vote there), and then on February 5 and what the results are there.  



Yeah, I noticed that. (Lowell - 1/21/2008 3:13:59 PM)
I doubt Nevada would have much of an impact given the mixed results.
