Fight Continues For Hillary Clinton In The South Against Barack Obama

Hoping that the love voters in South Carolina felt for her husband during his eight years as president remains strong, New York Senator Hillary Clinton is looking at the state's primary January 26 as a predicator of how Super Tuesday February 5 will look to her candidacy. Florida's primary on January 29 means little to the Democrats as the National Democratic Committee stepped the state of its Democrat delegates for holding the primary before February 5.

While Clinton currently holds a lead in the delegate count, Obama can pick up more delegate support if he continues to attract the black voters that helped push him into second place in Nevada. Clinton found support from women and Latino voters. The Clintons, during Bill Clinton's presidency enjoyed extreme popularity among blacks in South Carolina and is hoping those voters remember how her husband worked for them while president.

In South Carolina polls show Obama currently leading with 46 percent to Clinton's 36 percent, according to poll results published at usaelectionpolls.com, but recent national polls show Clinton currently leading the popularity in the polls with a 42 percent to 34 percent over Obama. John Edwards remains in third place in many of the polls, the same position he has found himself in the primaries concluded so far.

National "what if" polls posted at presidentelectionpolls.com show that Clinton could best any of the currently leading Republican contenders, with John McCain having the closest chance of moving ahead in a fight to the White House on the Republican side.
