Pollspot: Boston Globe Shows Obama Edge
A new Boston Globe poll released today shows Senators Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton virtually tied in New Hampshire. Obama leads Clinton 30 - 28%. However that is within the polls margin of error of +/- 5 points. On the Republican side, John McCain also appears to be closing in and tying former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney. It could be all over for Romney if he loses Iowa to Mike Huckabee and New Hamsphire to John McCain.
