Edwards trails Clinton in NC
Former North Carolina Sen. John Edwards has fallen sharply behind New York Sen. Hillary Clinton in his home state, according to a new poll.
Clinton was the favorite of 37 percent of self-identified North Carolina Democrats surveyed, compared to 18 percent for Edwards, according to an Elon University Poll released today. Illinois Sen. Barack Obama was the choice of 18 percent of those polled.

"Hillary Clinton has a striking lead over both John Edwards and Barack Obama among North Carolinians," said Hunter Bacot, director of the poll. "This is noteworthy given that this is Edwards' home state."

The survey results come at time when the Edwards campaign has been struggling on a number of fronts. The poll of 664 North Carolina residents was taken Sept. 24-27.

1. It's a red state. She's the most conservative.

6. It was Democratic enough for Edwards to be a Senator there.
Or are you implying that Edwards is conservative also?

2. NC will have no say in who gets the Democratic nomination.

9. Hillary has no activity in NC - none, zip, zero.
The primary is not until May - the contest will be long over by then.

5. Do not take stock in polls that sample less than 1000 people
and have a margin of error of more than three per cent.
