Obama closing gap with Clinton

ObamaclintondebateBarack Obama, who is maintaining his slight lead in Iowa, has significantly closed the gap with Hillary Clinton in New Hamphire, according to a Washington Post-ABC News poll. Earlier this fall, Clinton was up by 20 points in New Hamphire but is now only ahead by 6 points. Still, the poll found that Clinton’s supporters are more enthusiastic and loyal than are Obama’s. Clinton was also viewed as the most trusted of the Democratic candidates, but Obama’s surge is because more voters are placing “new direction and new ideas” as a higher priority than “strength and experience.”
