Pollster John Zogby comments, "The real movement here is by John Edwards, who is the only one who continues to gain ground in our three-day tracking poll. His increase appears to be coming from African American voters who are slowly making up their minds he is up to 7%. Can he catch Clinton by Saturdays vote, perhaps bumping her from a second-place finish? Perhaps that is why she has returned to the state to campaign. "
An interesting statistic of the poll-- Liberals and conservatives were evenly represented compared to conservatives and very conservatives-- about 33% each. Among moderates, which made up 33% of those polled, Edwards outpulled Clinton, 23 to 21.
Strangely, Clinton outpulls Edwards among liberals and progressives.
