Hillary Clinton continues to maintain a significant lead over her rivals in the New Hampshire presidential primary, according to new polling data released by the University of New Hampshire Survey Center. The latest poll also showed Bill Richardson and John Edward's campaigns locked in a battle for 3rd place in the Granite State. Barack Obama remained entrenched in second place behind Clinton.

The University of New Hampshire Survey Center conducted the poll between November 14 and 18. The Survey Center conducted a similar poll between November 2 and 7th. For each poll voters who identified themselves as likely to vote in the Democratic presidential primary in New Hampshire were surveyed.

In the latest poll Hillary Clinton had the support of 36 percent of these voters. In the previous poll 35 percent of voters said they would vote for Clinton.

Barack Obama inched forward by one point in the latest poll. Support for Obama now stands at 22 percent in New Hampshire, up from 21 percent earlier this month.

Support for John Edwards fell from 16 to 13 percent between the two polls. But Bill Richardson's campaign enjoyed a boost in the polls. Support for Richardson rose from 10 to 12 percent.

Dennis Kucinich's presidential campaign was reported to have the support of 3 percent of the voters who participated in the poll. The poll also showed support for Joe Biden at 2 percent and for Chris Dodd at 1 percent.

But very few voters who participated in the poll were certain about who they would vote for come January. Only 24 percent of the respondents said that they had definitely decided who to vote for. Close to half - 47 percent - said they had not decided who they would vote for on Election Day.
