C-SPAN/Zogby Daily Tracking Poll: Obama 28%, Clinton 28%, Edwards 26%

[ariesgem]

UTICA, New York – The race for the Democratic presidential nomination tightened again over the last 24 hours, as Senator Hillary Clinton fell into a tie for the lead among likely caucus-goers with rival Barack Obama, and fellow Democrat John Edwards remained in a statistical dead heat just two points behind, a new Reuters/C–SPAN/Zogby daily telephone tracking poll in Iowa shows.

Clinton dropped two points to 28% heading down the stretch, falling into a dead-even tie with Obama and holding just a two-point edge over Edwards, according to the latest Zogby telephone tracking survey, which was conducted using live telephone operators in the Zogby call center in Upstate New York. When second-choice voters were included in the Democratic equation, all three top vote-getters were virtually deadlocked, creating as close a race for the party’s nomination as we have seen in modern history.
Obama continued to perform very well among younger likely Democratic caucus-goers, while Clinton enjoys strong support from older voters. Among men, Edwards leads, while Clinton leads among women.

2. Way too close to call especially with the 15% rule.

3. I Think Most Of Us Agree Who The Top Three Will Be

I keep going back and forth, in my own mind, about the order... I think it's Obama (1) Clinton (2) and Edwards (3) but I would be happy to see the order reversed...

4. It's such a coin toss, I'm wondering whether there won't be a clear victor.

I mean, somebody will win, but if it's close there might not be that full-steam momentum push that propelled Kerry.

I dunno though -- seems anything could happen! :shrug:
