Race

The Howey-Gauge poll, a new survey released yesterday afternoon by the Howey Political Report, a publication specializing in Indiana politics, shows Sen. Barack Obama leading Sen. Hillary Clinton 47%-45% among likely Democratic primary voters. In a poll of just Democrats likely to vote in the primary, Clinton and Obama are tied at 46% apiece. Gauge Market Research Pollster Holly Davis said, "The Democratic primary is going to be decided by non-Democrats. To be determined is which group -- Republicans or independents -- are going to decide this race."

Last week with the key victories in three primaries: Ohio, Texas, and Rhode Island, Hillary Clinton surprised Obama after he had won 11 contests in a row. This is not over by a long shot. According to US News & World Report, Hillary Clinton is aware that the battle for the nomination will be fierce all the way to the party's nominating convention in August.

So far in the overall delegate count, Obama has 1,567 and Clinton 1,462. Yet according to the Associated Press, either one of them needs 2,025 for the nomination . There are about 600 pledged delegates that have yet to chose.
