Double digit leads for Obama

Senator Barack Obama appears to be leading in the battle of hearts and minds in the New Hampshire primary, the next stage of the contest to win the Democratic Party’s 2008 U.S. presidential nomination.

In the latest CNN/WMUR poll conducted after the Iowa caucus, he has a 10 point lead (on 39%) over Senator Hillary Clinton (on 29%) with former Vice Presidential candidate, John Edwards on 16%. Another recent USA Today/Gallup poll gave Obama a 13 point lead.

The candidates spent the weekend campaigning in New Hampshire yesterday ahead of the primary vote there tomorrow. It got off to a rocky start for Clinton on Friday when she was booed at a Democrat fundraiser when seeking to highlight Obama’s alleged inexperience. Then on Saturday she came under sustained attack from Edwards during a televised debate between the candidates.
