“Seeing the economy become so pronounced in such a short time indicates true concern among citizens about their personal financial well-being,” said Hunter Bacot, director of the Elon University Poll. “As people begin to feel the direct effects of the poor economy, pocketbook issues may become their primary concern in the voting booth.”

The poll found that in the upcoming May primary elections for North Carolina, Illinois Sen. Barack Obama holds a double-digit lead over New York Sen. Hilary Rodham Clinton, his rival on the Democratic ticket for president.
