In a poll that was released before John Edwards dropped out of the race, Scott Rasmussen reports that Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton are tied in Connecticut:
The first Rasmussen Reports telephone survey of Connecticut’s Democratic Presidential Primary shows the race couldn’t possibly get any closer. New York Senator Hillary Clinton attracts 40% of the vote and so does Illinois Senator Barack Obama. John Edwards is a very distant third at 11% while 3% say they’d vote for some other candidate and 6% are not sure.
Clinton leads by four among women while Obama leads by six among men. Clinton leads among voters over 65 while Obama holds the edge among younger voters. Clinton does better among lower-income voters while Obama attracts more of those with higher incomes.
The survey was conducted January 27, the day after Obama’s victory in South Carolina.
Given that Connecticut is just outside New York, this is interesting to say the least and shows that Obama is fully capable of giving Clinton a run for her money on February 5th.
