By Freddie Mooche
(AXcess News) Washington - Hillary Rodham Clinton has widened the lead amongst Democratic voters according to the latest poll and now commands 50 percent of Democrat support heading into the Democratic presidential primary race.
The New York Senator has also passed Barak Obama in funds raised as well, leading over all other Democratic primary candidates.
A USA TODAY/Gallup Poll over the weekend found Clinton gained 50 percent of both Democrats and Democratic-leaning Independents in the primary race.
Obama had 21 percent of Democratic voters favoring him to lead the Democratic Party in the presidential election. Former North Carolina senator John Edwards captured 13 percent of Democrats supporting him for the presidency.
Former New York City mayor Rudy Giuliani continues to lead the GOP field at 32 percent. Fred Thompson has 18 percent of Republicans supporting him, though he entered the primary race late, Arizona Sen. John McCain has 14 percent of GOP supporters behind him and has managed to come back and hold onto his chances amongst a variety of primary contenders. Mitt Romney, who was thought to be a favorite amongst Republican voters has slipped to 10 percent, according to the Gallup Poll results.
With Clinton now commanding 50 percent of Democratic voter support she is the most likely candidate to win that Party's primary race. Only once has a Democrat with that much support not won the Democratic presidential primary. The last time was when Massachusetts Sen. Edward Kennedy ran in 1980.
