1. Not good for Obama either. That small a margin is embarrassing for him

[knowledgeispwr]

3. How is it embarrassing? eom

[EffieBlack]

22. How is an 8 point margin embarrassing?

I'll bet Edwards would give his eyeteeth for a victory by one/eighth of that margin.

A victory is a victory, no matter how much some people try to raise expectations to the point that any victory can be spun by detractors as a defeat.

[Skwmom]

28. It's the Clinton machine which should be embarrassed. Even with

all the nasty dirty campaigning they have been unable to run away with the election.

[cali]

29. If he wins by that much, that's actually good news for him, genius.

It's more than Clinton won by in NV or NH. duh.

[BeyondGeography]

30. Cuz it's a negro state, right Murkin?

2. Edwards rising, Obama collapsing among whites in the same poll

Let's see what Super Tuesday brings if these trends continue...

[JackORoses]

7. Obama's lead is only down 1 point from the last Mason Dixon poll

You mislead people when you try to compare different polls. You have to compare similar ones.

[jackson_dem]

11. That is because he is holding strong with blacks and Edwards' gains are coming at Hillary's expense

I compared the same poll in another thread. Obama has fallen from 20% to 10% among whites in just a week in the very poll posted in this thread! Only him rising among blacks, Hillary losing 8 points among whites has kept his lead unchanged.

4. your link has nothing to do with this poll.

Besides I've seen four other polls out of SC today showing Edwards moving up.

[saltpoint]

5. We'll have to see how South Carolina Democrats vote this weekend.

I think the Edwards campaign could surprise one or two folks in the media.

[asdjrocky]

6. Where is the actual poll? Am I missing something?

[NJSecularist]

8. I can't wait for the Edwards supporters..

... to call this poll meaningless and then tell us about the Zogby poll where Edwards numbers are much more favorable to him.

[book_worm]

14. It's not only Zogby

but Rasmussen, SUSA, and a College poll out of SC.

[asdjrocky]

9. You do know that link takes you to something that has nothing to do with a poll, don't you?

[saltpoint]

10. I got redirected to some kind of Burger King promotional. How odd.

[asdjrocky]

12. Strange isn't it?

[Cant trust em]

13. Fuck polls, n/t

[Colobo]

15. Your link doesn't work.

[asdjrocky]

18. You're not the first to point this out...

...something tells me the OP knows that.

[book_worm]

16. apparently this is a bullshit poll since the link the OP gave us has nothing to do with a poll

and he/she has disappeared from the thread. Hit and run?

[Metric System]

17. CORRECT LINK

[book_worm]

21. thanks

I see according to this poll that Edwards has moved ahead of Clinton among white voters. Well we will see how it comes out on Saturday. Less than 48 hours from now all will be known.

[Colobo]

19. Margin of error: +-5

Taking that into consideration, things are pretty stable.

[jackson_dem]

23. If you blisfully ignore the internal numbers...

[JI7]

20. even this poll has Edwards gaining

so the trend seems to be on his side.

[saracat]

24. Baloney.Everyone is reporting on Edwards rise in the polls.

And Obama is losing some ground but the story is the Edwards bump! The best Hill can get is third. That is why she flew back today.

[Lucinda]

25. No....She was always supposed to come back today.

[johnnydrama]

26. so

Obama & Edwards 57 - Clinton 30?

[Captain Hilts]

27. I'm stumped by Edwards' numbers. nt

[pampango]

31. Don't be. It's not a real poll. Check the link. n/t

[Tennessee Gal]

32. OLD NEWS! Edwards is at 21% - Clinton 25%

Obama's edge on Clinton slipped by two points overnight but remained in double digits, 38 percent to 25 percent, in the rolling poll, with John Edwards gaining two points to climb to 21 percent and inch closer to second place.

The poll has a margin of error of 3.4 percentage points.
