Quote:
“Yesterday alone, Obama led with 39% with Clinton 22% and Edwards at 18%. One day does not make a trend, but the potential is there showing that Edwards may have scored some points in the Monday CNN debate and in his campaigning. Over the three days of polling, he is clearly splitting the white vote with Clinton.African Americans, a group that made up slightly more than half of the sample, backed Obama by a margin of 65% to Clinton’s 16%. Eighteen percent of black voters said they were undecided. Clinton did better among white voters, getting 33% support to 32% for Edwards. Obama lagged at just 18% among whites.
Obama had a strong lead among men, winning 50% of their number, compared to 19% who backed Clinton. Obama also led among women, 37% to Clinton’s 29%. Clinton has dominated among women in the past two contests - Nevada and New Hampshire - though Obama won among women in Iowa.
As he has in all other primaries and caucuses, Obama won the hearts – and support - of the youngest voting bloc: 18-29 year olds. About 43% of them said they would vote for Obama, while just 17% liked Clinton. Clinton barely managed to take her usual spot at the top of the heap for voters over 65, 31% to Obama’s 29%.
