| Two new polls give Sen Obama a double digit lead after earlier ones suggested he had drawn level. New Hampshire holds a key primary on Tuesday.
Sen Obama's victory in Iowa last week had boosted his campaign.
Among Republicans, surveys indicate that Sen John McCain is ahead of rival candidates in New Hampshire.
Poll reversal
The latest opinion polls come in the wake of the Iowa caucuses, in which Sen Clinton came an unexpected third, and televised debates in New Hampshire between both Republican and Democratic candidates on Saturday.
The CNN/WMUR New Hampshire Primary Tracking Poll gave Sen Obama 39% to 29% for Sen Clinton and 16% for John Edwards.
A USA Today/Gallup poll gave Sen Obama a 13 point advantage.
An earlier Reuters/C-SPAN/Zogby poll released on Sunday showed a virtual dead heat in New Hampshire, with Sen Clinton on 31% and Sen Obama 30%.
Sen John Edwards, the Democratic runner-up in Iowa, showed at third place with 20% in that poll.
Before the Iowa vote, the same poll had showed Sen Clinton leading by 6%.
Another poll released on Sunday by McClatchy-MSNBC showed Sen Obama ahead with 33% support to Sen Clinton's 31%.
