Today’s Hotline prints the latest polls in six of next Tuesday’s Democratic primary states. Kerry leads in at least four of them and possibly five. Dean leads nowhere and is in second place nowhere. Here’s a quick rundown of the top-two candidates in each state. Arizona: Kerry 38 percent, Clark 17 percent. Delaware: Kerry 27, Lieberman 16. Missouri: Kerry 45, Edwards 11. North Dakota: Kerry 33, Clark 15. Oklahoma, first poll: Clark 27, Kerry 19. Oklahoma, second poll: Kerry 20, Clark 18. South Carolina: Edwards 25, Kerry 24. (New Mexico is the only state without a super-recent poll.) We’ve all learned that these polls can shift wildly, but it sure looks like Kerry will go a long way toward wrapping things up four days from now.
