Rasmussen Poll: Clinton/Obama couldn't get any closer 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. (see crosstabs)

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.

7. This is good news for Obama's camp
But really, CT means very little on Super Tuesday. I'm sure they'd rather hear the same thing about Mass. instead.

10. Hey, wasn't this a state that was giving Hillary a big margin a couple of weeks ago?
and now it's tied. I figured that the SC result would shake things up. The Kennedy endorsement should also be a big help in Ct.

16. Yah, but - Hartford Courant poll........Clinton 41, Obama 27, Edwards 9......
http://www.courant.com/news/politics/hcu-ctpoll-0119,0,7087100.story

In the Democratic race, Clinton is favored by 41 percent of Democrats, compared with 27 percent for Barack Obama and 9 percent for John Edwards. One in five Democrats is undecided, an audience Obama is trying to reach with television ads that began Saturday.

Poll may be dated Jan 20.
