"Two New Hampshire Polls Will Show Shrinking Clinton Lead" (with video)


Marc Ambinder:
Two new reputable polls of New Hampshire Democratic Primary voters will show statistically significant drops in support for frontrunner Hillary Clinton, Democrats who have seen those polls said today.

The polls will be released this weekend and are embargoed; though I'm not privy to the embargo agreement, I'll be a little vague out of respect for the polling organizations.

One of the polls shows that the gap between Clinton and Barack Obama narrowed by more than 10 points. Her biggest decline was seen among older voters.

The other shows Clinton's lead over Obama reduced by approximately 9 points.

John Edwards remains at about 15 percent in both.
Howie P.S.: Not to find the "tunnel at the end of the light," but Hillary's lead was so big in NH it probably had nowhere to go but down. On the other hand, Obama is getting more positive media exposure, like this story (video (02:13) on last night's CBS Evening News.
