OF INTEREST:
The third poll released in two days finds McCain has pulled even with Giuliani in the former New York mayor's home state. Two polls on Monday had McCain leading by as much as 12 percent. Seventy-one percent of Giuliani's backers say they are "not too likely" or "not likely at all" to change their minds before the Feb. 5 primary. McCain gets that kind of loyalty from 46 percent.
Obama was the pick of 45 percent of the likely primary voters who are black, compared to 37 percent for Clinton. The senator from New York captured 54 percent of the women's vote, compared to 20 percent for Obama. Clinton's lead among men narrows somewhat, 47 percent to 32 percent for Obama, an Illinois senator.
___
The Quinnipiac University Polling Institute poll was conducted by phone from Jan. 14 to Jan 21. On the Republican side, it involved interviews with 331 likely primary voters and had a margin of error of plus or minus 5.4 percent. It also polled 544 likely Democratic primary voters, with a margin of error of plus or minus 4.2 percent.
