Clinton, New York's junior senator, was the choice among 40 percent of the random sampling of 1,064 registered voters who responded to the telephone poll. Obama, in his first term as Illinois junior senator, polled 19 percent for second place, with former North Carolina senator and vice presidential candidate John Edwards placing third with 11 percent.
