Boston.com just put out an article with new poll data, and Barack Obama pulled into a tie for first place with Hillary Clinton. That is big news for a first-time senator with no "political family" ties to rely on for fundraising and national press.
Boston.com printed:
On the heels of a burst of successful fund-raising, Democratic 2008 presidential hopeful Sen. Barack Obama has pulled even with frontrunner Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, a new poll released on Monday found.
Obama, a firs-term senator from Illinois, has steadily gained on Clinton, a veteran on the national political scene, over the last month and each now polled 32 percent among likely Democratic voters, the survey by Rasmussen Reports found. Former Sen. John Edwards of North Carolina was third in the poll with 17 percent.
In late March, New York's Clinton held a 12-point lead over Illinois' Obama in the Rasmussen poll.
