OF INTEREST:
Clinton and Obama are tied among South Carolina's black Democratic voters, who made up about half those voting in the state's 2004 primary contest. She leads among whites, 49 percent to 16 percent. Obama is ahead with middle-income earners, though she has comfortable margins among the highest- and lowest-earning Democrats. Obama also comes close to Clinton with men, liberals, independents and young people — but faces significant deficits in most other categories.
___
The telephone poll, by The Associated Press and the Pew Research Center, was conducted Nov. 7-25 and involved interviews with 373 likely Democratic voters in South Carolina. It had a margin of sampling error of plus or minus 6 percentage points.
