Hillary Clinton leading among Democratic primary voters with 33%, followed by Sen. Barack Obama at 26% and John Edwards at 21%. No other Democratic candidate is above 1% statewide.
Key finding: "Perhaps the most interesting thing in the poll is the strength of Clinton. She leads Obama among young voters 49 to 10 percent. Clinton's only weak area seems to be among male voters where she trails both Obama and Edwards by a slim one percent margin. However, Clinton enjoys a huge 40 percent to 25 percent edge with women voters over Obama, with just 18 percent for Edwards."
On the Republican side, Sen. John McCain leads with 22% of likely primary voters, trailed by Rudy Giuliani at 19%, Fred Thompson with 11% and Mitt Romney at 10% South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford, who says he is not a candidate in 2008, gets 8%. No other Republican candidate is above 2 percent statewide.
