Hillary expands lead in NH

By James Pindell February 7, 07 05:28 PM

Even though she hasn't visited the state in over a decade, Senator Hillary Clinton holds a commanding lead among her Democratic rivals, according to a new poll.

The University of New Hampshire poll shows Clinton with a 35 percent to 21 percent lead over Senator Barack Obama.

Pollster Andy Smith said Obama lost some support since a December poll that was taken around the time of his last visit to the state.

Former North Carolina Senator John Edwards had 15 percent support.

All other contenders were in single digits.

Clinton will visit the state this weekend.
