Hillary Slipping In New Hampshire

A CNN-WMUR poll of 339 New Hampshire Democrats found Senator Clinton's support fell from 35 percent to 27 percent since February.

Former North Carolina Senator John Edwards picked up most of the slack. Edwards rose to 21 percent from 16 percent. Illinois Senator Barack Obama of Illinois was close at 20 percent.

Al Gore received 11 percent, Bill Richardson had 4 percent support, and Joe Biden was at 2 percent. Twelve 12 percent said they were undecided.

The telephone poll was conducted between March 27 and April 2 and has a 5.5 percent margin of error.

Striking Gore

Those close to Al Gore say he is not running for president.

Gore spokeswoman Kalee Kreider makes it pretty clear:

Gore hasn't refused to ever enter the race. But, Kreider said, "He truly has no intention of running."

Even though Gore obfuscates the issue, denying that he has plans to run, while also giving supporters hope that he might be persuaded to run. And despite the fact that James Carville says Gore will run, I'm going to accept Gore's denials and strike him from the list of prospective 2008 candidates.

Carville Predicts Gore Will Run

According to ABC News' Political Radar, James Carville says Gore will enter the 2008 Presidential campaign:

"I think he's gonna run," James Carville told Don Imus Tuesday morning of former Vice President Gore's potential presidential ambitions.

Appearing as a guest on "Imus in the Morning" on radio and MSNBC, the former Clinton strategist said: "Running for president is like sex, Don. You don't do it once and forget about it."

Gore has been coy about his intentions. He has "denied" that he has plans to run, while also giving supporters hope that he might be persuaded to run.

Carville also repeated Hillary's claim that former President Clinton is the "most popular human being on Earth."

Hillary's Unfavorable Rating Climbs In NY

Senator Hillary Clinton's unfavorable rating has climbed by a third, among New York voters, since her November reelection:

While the Democrat's favorable rating among New York voters remained at a robust 56 percent in the latest poll from Siena College's Research Institute, her unfavorable rating was at 40 percent, the highest in the last two years of Siena's polling and up from 33 percent in a January poll conducted just a few days after her presidential campaign announcement.

The Siena poll of New York Democrats found Clinton leading other Democratic contenders:

Clinton 44 percent
Obama 13 percent
Gore 11 percent
Edwards 8 percent

Do you think New Yorkers are unhappy that Senator Clinton is running for president or that she hasn't yet found a way to convince the anything-but-victory Democrats that she regrets supporting the liberation of Iraq?

The poll was conducted February 15-19 and has a margin of error of plus or minus 4 percent.
