MANCHESTER, N.H. -- The latest WMUR/CNN tracking poll shows that Barack Obama has moved into a significant lead over his Democratic rival, Hillary Clinton.

The poll, taken on Jan. 5 and 6, shows Obama leading Clinton, 39 to 29 percent. John Edwards has slipped to 16 percent from 20 percent, followed by Bill Richardson at 7 percent and Dennis Kucinich at 2 percent.

The poll has a margin of error of 5 percent.

On the Republican side, John McCain has maintained his 6-point lead over Mitt Romney, 32 to 26 percent.

Iowa winner Mike Huckabee has climbed slightly to 14 percent from 11 percent, followed by Rudy Giuliani at 11 percent, Ron Paul at 10 percent, and Duncan Hunter and Fred Thompson at 1 percent.

The Republican poll has a margin of error of 6 percent

"She needs to put on a dress and try to be more like a normal woman e.g. talk with other normal women about things women talk about among themselves (weight, fashion, skin care, cooking, husbands, kids, celebrity gossip,...). To get there, she needs to fire from her circle all male "experts" and all feminist harpies (except for herself)."

I too, do not see her doing that since she feels that being President is her "Right". She feels its owed to her for sticking with Bubba through all his daliances.

Personally I think that if she doesent get the Dem nod, she and her minions will savage the democrat nominee through surrogates and deliver the election to a Republican just so she can say "You see I told you so".

I gave up on checking out D.U. years ago, one reason was because of the utterly vile language in every thread.

From what I have read with the supper delegates she already has and with a good showing in the Supper Tuesday she will easily win the nomination. If this should come to pass wonder what this would do to the Obama supporters, know they will feel robbed. Don’t count her out yet, in fact I think we would be better off going against her than Obama.

However, if the Dems and the leftist media sense a mandate for Obama, do you really think they wouldn't give Hillary the big heave-ho.

Always thought once a Muslim,always one..Can’t know everything I reckon,,As far as Clinton and Obama,they bring it on their own selves..the loser between the two will be Clinton..,,,for obvious reasons..

[richardtavor]

Agreed—she will lose NH and then the MSM will pull some Obama misstep out and flog him with it—however, I think that they are underestimating the reaction from African Americans-if it is obvious that they are hillarybots, they will turn stone cold against the democrats out of spite.

>Hillary lost among all demos in Iowa, including White women!

No she did not.

Where hillary lost - and lost big - was in the independent column.

The registered dem voters voted overwhelmingly for her in Iowa and that is the way that it is going to be in real primaries. - not these strange little things.

You do have a point about blacks in the South, but they aren’t going to make or break obama.

They will make it interesting.

I wonder if Fred is too much of a man or America?...Has America become too feminozed for such a man?

I reckon we're gonna find out.

[dforest]

He doesn’t seem to even need any substance, of course none of the Dems have substance. He is on a roll, his greatest danger is Arkancide.

The Pubbies we have in the lead are not going to be able to create much excitement to get out the vote.

Oh well, we could offer no substance and pretend, but actions have consequences, so after 4 years of Jimmah Carterism, maybe people will wise up. I hope anyway.

We can make our slogan, WE NEED CHANGE. Clever one, huh?

[HereInTheHeartland]

The thought that the corrupt, vile Clintons will never be in the White House again is very satisfying.

But Obama will be a tough candidate to run against. A Fred vs Obama debate would be very good to watch.

[MindBender26]

Oh, Pleeeeze.

[JohnD9207]

Thanks, sometimes the language here is questionable.

>>>>Not even your mother is a bitch. ;-`

PS, you are WAY out of line.

The Republican Party at every political level throughout the northeastern states is truly different (more “leftist”) from the Republican Party at every political level throughout most of the rest of the U.S. (more conservative). The Republican Party is also more “leftist” throughout the majority of U.S. cities as well as along both ocean coasts.

[richardtavor]

Agreed—good analysis. Those 20%+ switch votes came from somewhere. They weren’t all Hillary dropouts.

[svcw]

Not indifferent to her threat, indifferent to her.

[ml/nj]

How could it be that only one percent of New Hampshire Republicans would support Thompson?

ML/NJ

[MindBender26]

Obama will be an easy candidate to beat.

Trust me on this one. He is pride of the far-left who vote in Democratic primaries. Matters not if they call themselves Independents or Dems, it’s the far-left, “guilty liberals’ that ate voting for him.

In the General, after 9 months of peeling into his life and beliefs, he will be easy.

[paudio]

he MSM know that the people will not elect a black with zero experience...

I keep hearing this assessment that Americans won't vote for a black (with or without experience). Has there been any poll showing this result?

[Mr Rogers]

I’ve worried about that since President GHW Bush was beaten by an unqualified, lying, draft dodging, lecherous SOB from Hope!

[Quix]

Her campaign withdrawl speech?

You mean the brawl at the mansion where she and the current gals castrate all the men within reach and leave the place a burned out hulk?
