Barack Obama leads in South Carolina poll

Sen. Barack Obama leads the pack in a recent Mason-Dixon poll conducted from June 13 to 15.

"Obama led in the new poll with 34 percent of likely voters to 25 percent for Clinton. Edwards was third at 12 percent. Sen. Joe Biden was at 2 percent; so was former Vice President Al Gore, who has given no indication of running but whose name was volunteered by some voters. Twenty-four percent were undecided."

Obama has done rather well in polls taken at least partly after his nationwide canvass on June 9 and one wonders whether the outreach helped boost his numbers.
