Pollspot: Edwards Edging Obama

A new daily poll from Rasmussen shows Barack Obama and John Edwards in a virtual tie for second place. Usually, Obama and Edwards have been within the margin of error for each other but today's poll shows them even. The thing to be wary about is that this is a daily poll and it changes slightly from day to day. Hillary Clinton has enjoyed being at the top of this poll...and I enjoy her being in first as well. For GOP, Rudy Giuliani and Fred Thompson are nearly tied with Mitt Romney coming up close.

According to Rasmussen:

The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Friday shows Rudy Giuliani and Fred Thompson on top of the race for the Republican Presidential Nomination. Giuliani earns 23% of the vote from Likely Republican Primary Voters. while Thompson is also at 23%. Mitt Romney is favored by 16% and John McCain is the choice for 11%. Mike Huckabee tops the second tier at 5%.

In the race for the Democratic Presidential Nomination, Hillary Clinton continues to lead with 40% of the vote from Likely Democratic Primary Voters. Barack Obama earns support from 18% while John Edwards also attracts 18% (see recent daily numbers). New Mexico Governor Bill Richardson tops the Democrats’ second tier at 5%. Dennis Kucinich is next at 3%.
