PPP Poll: McCain Holds Small Lead in South Carolina
A new in South Carolina finds Sen. John McCain leading Sen. Barack Obama, 45% to 39%, with Libertarian Bob Barr getting 5%.
Key findings: "The demographics fueling Obama's ability to stay within striking range are the same ones that allowed him to win a dominant victory in the state's Democratic primary. He leads 77% to 10% with black voters and 54% to 32% with voters under 30. John McCain leads within pretty much every other subgroup."
In South Carolina -- and in many other states -- Obama's ability to win will depend on his ability to generate high turnout among the two groups most supportive of his candidacy.
