Hillary Clinton started the presidential race with such a hefty lead over her opponents, she can fall a long way before relinquishing the frontrunner’s crown. And while that may be comforting to her and her staff, they have to realize she’s headed in the wrong direction.
A new CNN poll of New Hampshire voters shows Clinton’s support has dropped from 35 points in February to 27 points currently. John Edwards is the main beneficiary — his support rose from 16 points to 21 over the same period. That puts him one point ahead of Barack Obama, who sits at 20 points and has shown little change in support over the last few months.
The only other politician with double digit support was Al Gore, with 11 percent. The poll has a margin of error of 5.5 percent, which kind of makes this whole thing laughable.
