The Race Tightens
A new NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll shows Sen. Obama closing the gap with Sen. Clinton. According to the report, the data “suggests doubts about his electability are diminishing.”
In particular:
[T]he poll shows Mr. Obama trailing Mrs. Clinton by 31% to 36%; 2004 vice presidential nominee John Edwards runs a solid third with 20%. Last month, Mr. Obama lagged 12 percentage points behind.
You can see the complete poll data here — which includes 56 percent public support for the Democratic Congress’s decision to set a deadline for withdrawal from Iraq, as opposed to 37 percent support for President Bush’s insistence against it.
