OF INTEREST:

Clinton has only a slight edge over Obama in the New Jersey Democratic race, compared to a double-digit margin she had two weeks ago before John Edwards left the race. Her support has been stable while Obama's has grown, especially with women and whites. McCain has expanded his lead over Romney in the Republican race, with particularly large gains among men since Rudy Giuliani and Fred Thompson dropped out.
