Clinton and Obama Statistically Tied, Giuliani Leads McCain
In Latest New Hampshire Poll

Poll Conducted by Students in Suffolk University Government Class

BOSTON - A telephone poll of likely New Hampshire voters, conducted by Suffolk University students from February 24-28, 2007, revealed top Democratic candidates Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama are statistically tied for the lead among Democratic voters in the Granite State. Republican candidate Rudolph Giuliani had a 10-point lead over John McCain, his nearest rival. The results of the poll were officially announced today.

The poll, a student initiated class project in the government course titled, "Political Survey Research," offers undergraduate and graduate students the opportunity to write, design, sample, execute, and analyze poll findings from a topic of their choice.

The poll revealed that Democrat Obama would defeat Republican Mitt Romney in a head-to-head match up and tie McCain and Giuliani, while Clinton would only defeat Romney. Republican front-runner Giuliani defeated Democrats Clinton and John Edwards in a head-to-head match up and tied Obama.

"While Giuliani continues to lead among Republicans, Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton are neck and neck among Democrats," said Suffolk Government Professor David Paleologos, who oversaw the student initiated class poll project. "However, Clinton's unfavorability ratings are negatively affecting her competitiveness against the top Republican candidates."
