New Tracking Polls

The American Research Group released new tracking polls for three states with primaries on Tuesday:

In Arizona, John Kerry now leads by 11 percentage points.
In Oklahoma, Wesley Clark holds the lead by just two points and "is being challenged by Kerry."
In South Carolina, John Edwards leads by seven points and "has become the first choice among voters viewing him and Kerry favorably (this is the only state where Kerry has not been the first choice of those who like both).

Update: There are similar results this morning from the new Reuters/MSNBC/Zogby Poll: "Kerry Keeps It Close in South Carolina; Kerry Still Big in Missouri, While Edwards and Possibly Dean Move Up; Kerry and Clark Now in Oklahoma Dead Heat, With Edwards In Solid third; In Arizona, Kerry Has a Double-Digit Lead -But Watch Clark and Dean."
