North Carolina-based Public Policy Polling has issued their second Wisconsin presidential primary poll in less than a week, showing Barack Obama slightly expanding his lead while John McCain's margin has decreased.
In a survey of 822 likely Democratic primary voters, Obama leads Hillary Clinton 53-40, up from a 50-39 advantage last week.
Among 654 likely GOP voters, McCain leads Mike Huckabee 50-39. In last week's PPP poll, the margin was 53-32.
The poll, taken by automated telephone February 16-17, has a margin of error of plus or minus 3.4 percent for the Democratic results, and plus or minus 3.8 percent for the Republican results.
