Pollspot: All for Hill

Hillary Clinton continues to look well in the polls! I'm pleased! Mitt Romney continues to rise as well.

South Carolina:

A new Public Policy Polling survey in South Carolina finds Sen. Hillary Clinton leading the Democratic presidential race with 36% support, followed by Sen. Barack Obama at 33% and John Edwards with 12%. Clinton trailed Obama by three points in the last poll.

On the Republican side, Fred Thompson leads the race with 22%, followed by
Rudy Giuliani at 18%, Mitt Romney at 17%, Sen. John McCain at 11% and Mike
Huckabee at 7%.

Pretty much a tie here between Clinton and Obama.

New Hampshire:

A new Rasmussen Reports survey in New Hampshire finds Sen. Hillary Clinton leading the Democratic primary race with 37%, followed by Sen. Barack Obama at 22%, John Edwards at 14% and Gov. Bill Richardson at 9%.

In the Republican primary race, Mitt Romney leads with 32%, trailed by Rudy Giuliani at 20%, Sen. John McCain at 11% and Fred Thompson at 11%.

Solid leads in the very important state for both Hillary and Mitt.

National:

A new Quinnipiac national poll shows Sen. Hillary Clinton leading the Democratic presidential race with 36% support, followed by Sen. Barack Obama at 21%, Al Gore at 15%, John Edwards at 9%, and Gov. Bill Richardson at 3%.

On the GOP side, Rudy Giuliani leads with 28%, followed by Mitt Romney at
15%, Fred Thompson at 12%, and Sen. John McCain at 11%.

In a head-to-head match up, Clinton edges Giuliani 46% to 43% for the first
time in this poll.

Nice 15 point lead for Hill nationally!

NBA Ref Guilty

Tim Donaghy could receive up to 25 years in prison after he pleaded guilty to "conspiracy to engage in wire fraud and transmitting wagering information through interstate commerce." Simply put, the NBA referee admitted to rigging games for cash. Every game Donaghy reffed is now tarnished, especially last year's Suns-Spurs series. See the story here.
