Obama and Clinton Neck and Neck in NH

A recent Concord Monitor poll shows Illinois Senator Obama about even with New York Senator Clinton among likely voters in the 2008 Democratic presidential primary.

Twenty-two-percent of the likely Democratic voters who responded to a Concord Monitor poll said they'd vote for Clinton if the primary was held today, and 21 percent said Obama.

On the Republican side, New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani and Senator John McCain are about even, with Giuliani at 26 percent and McCain at 25 percent.

These polls don't reflect much besides name recognition. Only political junkies are paying attention to the 2008 race now. It will stay that way until after the summer.
