Clinton, a New York senator, led among college-educated voters by five points two weeks ago, but Obama, an Illinois senator, is now ahead with that group by 25 points. She still has substantial leads among women, whites, older voters, and those without college degrees, while she and Obama are about even among men. Obama leads with blacks and younger voters.
The Quinnipiac University poll was conducted February 18-23 and involved telephone interviews with 741 likely Democratic voters. It had a margin of sampling error of plus or minus 3.6 percentage points. (AP)
