In California’s Democratic Presidential Primary, Barack Obama now holds a statistically insignificant one-point lead over Hillary Clinton. The latest Rasmussen Reports telephone survey in California shows Barack Obama with 45% of the vote while Hillary Clinton earns 44%. Earlier in the week, Clinton had a three-point advantage in what has become an extraordinarily close race.
Five percent (5%) of voters are still undecided, 5% say there is still a good chance they could change their mind, and 19% say they might change their mind. Part of the indecision appears to stem from the fact that Democratic voters generally like both of their remaining candidates.
Obama now leads by ten points among men while Clinton leads by five among women. Fifty-seven percent (57%) of the Likely Primary Voters are expected to be women. Clinton leads among senior citizens while Obama has the edge among voters under 65.

The latest Rasmussen Reports telephone survey finds Obama with 52% support while Clinton attracts 37%.
Before Obama’s huge victory in South Carolina, the Senator from Illinois had a much narrower six-point lead, 41% to 35%. At that time, John Edwards was still in the race and he picked up 13% of the Georgia vote.
