Story Continues Below New York Sen. Hillary Clinton, 43 percent Illinois Sen. Barack Obama, 27 percent Former North Carolina Sen. John Edwards, 17 percent No opinion, 9 percent ___ THE NUMBERS - REPUBLICAN Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani, 30 percent Arizona Sen. John McCain, 21 percent Former Tennessee Sen. Fred Thompson, 18 percent Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, 6 percent No opinion, 11 percent ___ OF INTEREST: Deep ties through her husband's presidency are helping Clinton, who has lagged Obama in building an organization in South Carolina. Obama had been expected to do well in South Carolina, where half of the early voting state's Democratic voters are black. Giuliani appears to have weathered the news of his former state chairman's federal indictment on a cocaine distribution charge. McCain appears to be holding his own despite national and state staff shake-ups. ___ The CNN/Opinion Research Corp. Poll was conducted by telephone July 16-18. The poll of 1,052 adults included 432 likely Republican primary voters and 380 likely Democratic primary voters. It has a sampling error margin of plus or minus 5 percentage points. © 2007 Associated Press. All Rights Reserved. This material may not be published, broadcast, rewritten or redistributed.
