"In the Democratic primary, Edwards faces an array of obstacles:

Kerry's voter base is strongest: While 29% of Kerry backers say they might change their minds, 42% of Edwards' supporters are open to switching.

Nearly three out of four likely primary voters say Kerry has the best chance of beating Bush. Half of Edwards' own supporters view Kerry as the most likely to beat Bush."

"The survey, supervised by Times polling director Susan Pinkus, interviewed 1,521 registered California voters from Feb. 18 to 22, including 1,005 likely to vote in next Tuesday's election. Among them were 560 deemed likely to vote in the Democratic primary, which is open to independents. The margin of sampling error for registered voters and all likely voters is plus or minus 3 percentage points. For likely Democratic primary voters, it is 4 points."
