Hillary Clinton leaps ahead in Democrat race Alex Massie Hillary Clinton has surged to the front of the field of candidates for the Democratic party's 2008 presidential nomination, according to new polls conducted in the vital battleground states of Iowa and New Hampshire. Mrs Clinton commands the support of 35% of voters who say they are likely to attend the Iowa caucuses, according to a poll conducted by the American Research Group. Former Vice-Presidential candidate John Edwards, who had been in pole position on other early polls, was second with just 18%.Previous polls in Iowa had put the former First Lady in fourth place, behind Mr Edwards, Senator Barack Obama and Iowa governor Tom Vilsack. In New Hampshire, which holds the first primary next year, Mrs Clinton leads Mr Obama 39%-19%. Both surveys were conducted after Mrs Clinton made high-profile visits to Iowa and New Hampshire to kick-off her campaign. Though it is nearly a year before the first real votes will be cast, these early polls are important for Mrs Clinton's ability to present herself as the candidate whose eventual triumph is "inevitable". "Can Hillary Clinton win?" asked a Clinton spokesman. "Poll after poll make [it] pretty clear that she already is winning." ---------------------------------------------------
