Hillary Clinton’s lead in New Hampshire has evaporated, a CNN poll finds. Clinton's approval rating is at 31%, off 5% since November, leaving her in a statistical tie with Barack Obama, who's at 30%. Clinton’s support among female Democrats has fallen from 43% to 33%. Mike Huckabee hasn't replicated his Iowa surge—his 9% rating pales against GOP leader Mitt Romney's 32%.

But with 43% of Democrats and 55% of Republicans undecided, “this race is not over by a long shot,” CNN’s polling guru said. That’s good news for Huckabee, still well behind Republican rivals John McCain and Rudy Giuliani (19% each). And John Edwards has some ground to make up on the Democratic frontrunners—his rating stands at 16%. (More poll stories.)
