Sen. Barack Obama (Ill.) leads his 2008 rivals for the Democratic presidential nod in a new Rasmussen Reports poll released today.
Obama had a "statistically insignificant" 32-30 lead over Sen. Hillary Clinton (D-NY), who is in second place for the first time Rasmussen has done the poll.
Former Sen. John Edwards (D-NC) is in third place at 17 percent.
It was taken via phone before the Democrats met in South Carolina for the first-in-the-season debate.
Here's a roundup of our coverage from the Palmetto State.
