NEW YORK, Jan. 8 (UPI) -- Presidential hopeful Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., went into Tuesday's New Hampshire primary with a 7-percentage-point poll lead, CBS News reported.

Among 323 Democrat voters in the state, Obama had 35 percent over Sen. Hillary Clinton, D-N.Y., who was at 28 percent. Former Sen. John Edwards, D-N.C., logged 19 percent.

That's a major reversal from a similar poll in November when Clinton led Obama 39 percent-19 percent, the report said.

The broadcaster said it had been unable to reach sufficient Republican voters to "create a reliable estimate" on the New Hampshire primary. From those it did contact, pollsters said Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., picked up supporters from other candidates and former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney lost support, compared to a November poll. There was no significant change in support for former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee, who won the Iowa caucus last week.

The poll's margin of error was 5 percentage points, the broadcaster said.
