Lee Newspapers poll: Obama holds big edge over Clinton in Montana

http://www.missoulian.com/articles/2008/05/25/news/local/news02.txt HELENA - Barack Obama has grabbed a big lead over Hillary Clinton in Montana's June 3 Democratic presidential primary, a Lee Newspapers poll shows.
Obama leads Clinton by 52 percent to 35 percent among likely Democratic voters, with 13 percent undecided in the poll, which was taken May 19-21. The Democratic primary portion of the poll has a margin of error of plus or minus 5 percentage points.
Montana and South Dakota have the nation's last Democratic presidential primaries on June 3. With the prolonged battle continuing for the Democratic nomination, Montana's usually ignored late primary has attracted unprecedented interest from Obama and Clinton.
Obama spoke in Missoula and Butte last month, and he returned to Montana last week to campaign in Billings, Bozeman and on the Crow Indian Reservation.
