January 12, 2003--As Iowa draws ever closer, there are signs of movement in the race for the Democratic Presidential nomination.
Former Vermont Governor Howard Dean remains at the top of the heap. However, his support has fallen to 21% of Democrats in the latest Rasmussen Reports tracking survey. That's Dean's lowest total yet and just four points ahead of retired General Wesley Clark. Clark has been gaining ground steadily over the past week and is now the favorite for 17% of Democrats nationally.

It is too early to tell whether these numbers truly represent a further tightening of the race or if they are merely statistical noise within the survey's margin of error. Tomorrow's numbers, posted here by noon, may help answer that question.

John Edwards, endorsed yesterday (Sunday) by the Des Moines Register has moved into third place in this latest Rasmussen Reports national survey with support from 9% of Democrats.
