1. Among those following closely, Obama is 10% behind Clinton

Unlike Giuliani and Romney, who derived little benefit from once holding office in neighboring states, Clinton benefits from being a familiar figure as a New York senator and former first lady, McDermott said.

She polls strongest among voters on the lower end of the education and income ladders, McDermott said.

Fifty-two percent of women favor her, compared with 21 percent for Obama and 6 percent for Edwards.

One piece of good news for Obama, a first-term Illinois senator: The more primary coverage voters see, the better he does. Among voters who say they have been following the campaign closely, Obama trails by 10 percentage points.

The number is 25 percentage points among voters who say they have followed the race somewhat closely or less.

2. This is a terrific opportunity for Obama.

Southern connecticut is a mix of wealthy and diverse. Also Lamont endorsed Obama.

4. Fairfield County will go for Obama

He's really strong there. My family's from New Canaan and my mom has been involved with dem politics in CT for 40 years. Two of my sisters live in Darien and one lives in Ridgefield. They're all working for Obama and they all say that he's much stronger there than Clinton. And this really is her backyard.

3. 21% undecided makes it impossible to even guess.

Can Republicans and Dems cross into the other primary? Can independents vote? How doest CT's primary work?

NY is so basic, so simple, so easy to understand. Dems vote for Dems. Republicans vote for Republicans. Independents sit home and wait till the parties make their decision. I LOVE NY!
