New Polls Show Presidential Race Dead Heat

A new CNN/Opinion Resarch poll released today shows Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton are locked in a dead heat with the Arizona Senator John McCain in the race for president. If Obama were to win the nomination, he would get 47 percent of the vote compared to 46 percent for McCain, the poll shows; that's a statistical tie given the poll's 3 percentage point margin of error. Should Clinton win the nomination, the poll suggests she would get 49 percent compared to McCain's 47 percent, another statistical tie.

A new Zogby poll shows McCain slightly leading either Clinton or Obama.
