Poll: Obama ahead in Alabama

[Hope And Change]

A poll released Wednesday shows Democrat Barack Obama and Republican John McCain leading in Alabama's presidential primaries, but winning Tuesday may be determined by supporters of candidates who have dropped out.

"This is so complex; it's like swimming in the Gulf with an undertow, there are so many cross currents," said Gerald Johnson, director of Capital Survey Research Center, the polling arm of the Alabama Education Association. "It's truly historic."

The poll shows Obama, a U.S. senator from Illinois, leading U.S. Sen. Hillary Clinton, of New York, 40 percent to 35 percent in the Democratic primary. Former U.S. Sen. John Edwards, of North Carolina, who has dropped out of the race, was a distant third at 9 percent.

7. Colorado and Kansas

He needs to make in-roads in Minnesota and Missouri, though. He's getting killed there.

8. statistical dead heat

"The undecided Democratic vote is 16 percent and the margin of error, based on a sample of 373 voters, is plus or minus 5 percentage points, meaning Obama and Clinton could be tied."

I wouldn't start the victory lap just yet. :evilgrin:
