Edwards | Edwards Widens Lead in South Carolina

The latest Reuters/MSNBC/Zogby poll is out, showing Edwards ahead in his home state.

John Edwards, needing a win in South Carolina to keep his campaign alive, widened his lead over Kerry in the state to 4 points in the latest three-day tracking poll.

Kerry, the new Democratic front-runner after back-to-back wins in the first two contests, holds a 33-point lead in Missouri and a 16-point lead in Arizona, where Clark shaved 5 points off his advantage in one day.

Kerry still leads in Missouri and Arizona, while Clark is still slightly ahead in Oklahoma.

Of course, going from 1 points to 4 may not really qualify as “widening”. It is still a statistical tie, and not good news for Edwards that things are still that close.
