“Sen. Obama has put together a coalition of blacks and independents to dramatically narrow the gap in just the last few days in New Jersey, but the big question remains: Will there be enough of these new, young, first time voters showing up to pull a surprise on Super Tuesday?” said Clay F. Richards, assistant director of the Quinnipiac University Polling Institute.

For Clinton’s Democratic voters, 78 percent say they are not likely to change their minds. Obama loyalty is at 78 percent also.

Among Republicans, 78 percent of McCain supporters and 68 percent of Romney backers say they are not likely to change their minds.

“New Jersey Democratic Party organizations are famous for getting out their vote in primary elections. When added to Sen. Clinton’s strength among women, this could bring home the victory for the Senator next door. Three things will decide this race, turnout, turnout and turnout,” Richards said.
