North Carolina polling: Edwards 39%, Hillary 25%, Obama 20%

Raleigh, NC (AHN) - The former U.S. Senator from North Carolina, John Edwards, will be pleased to know that he currently leads his home state among Democratic voters.

In a survey by Public Policy Polling, Edwards leads the field with 39 percent of the vote against the leading candidate, Senator Hillary Clinton (D-NY) who came in second with just 25 percent.

While Senator Clinton leads nationally, Edwards trails across the country to Senator Barack Obama (D-IL), yet the freshman Illinois Senator only took home 20 percent of the vote in North Carolina.

According to Public Policy Polling, the biggest news last month was the revelation that Elizabeth Edwards' cancer had returned and gotten worse. Despite her medical problems the Edwards family vowed to stay in the presidential race and Edwards has received a bump in the polls nationally and in early primary states. However, the poll finds that Senators Clinton and Obama remain close, and if they perform well in early primary elections they may remain competitive in North Carolina as well.

2. there was another poll which had

Clinton 20, Obama 18 and Edwards 10 - so I'm confused.

This one looks more like it.

5. shame on your attack on Hillary! how DARE you

repeat such fact-based eh lies! You cannot attack our coronation winner with numbers, and besides, statistics are all just make believe. HIllarians KNOW that she is the only one that deserves to be queen and king all rolled into one.

Now, stop with this fact business, already, especially when they are contrary to Hillarians' wishes.

7. Well, like, DUH.

Can you say, "home state?"

Almost completely meaningless in the larger race....except for the fact Edwards is not earning even a plurality in his home state, which reflects poorly on the present state of his campaign.

Not something for Edwards supporters to cheer about, imo.
