The polls

From Garance Franke-Ruta at TAPPED

This means we now have polls showing Clark in the lead in South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, California (PDF File), Illinois (among those closely following the race), Wisconsin and nationwide. He’s in second place in Arizona and third in New York, where Dean leads. Dean also leads in New Hampshire, Maryland, Michigan, New Mexico (though this was a pre-Clark poll) and some polls nationwide. He is tied with or in second to Gephardt in Iowa. Gephardt leads in Illinois.

Kerry does not lead anywhere that I’ve seen — and if you’ve seen such a poll, feel free to tell me about it — though he is in second in New Hampshire. South Carolina was the only state where Edwards was in better than third place. Lieberman is still running a strong second in some states, and leads in Connecticut.
