Gallup Poll shows Dean only in 4th place. Some frontrunner.
The media has been calling hm the frontrunner so much people have the impression he's running away with it. He hasn't even bested Lieberman yet nationally. And Lieberman isn't even the strongest candidate, not at all in fact.

Plus Clark and Kerry fare better against Bush than dean.

First and Second Choices of Democratic Candidates
Based on Democrats and Democratic leaners who are registered to vote
Nov. 10-12, 2003

Joe Lieberman
28%

Wesley Clark
25

Howard Dean
24

Dick Gephardt
25

John Kerry
21

John Edwards
12

Carol Moseley Braun
9

Al Sharpton
6

Dennis Kucinich
5

Note: Percentages add to more than 100% due to multiple responses

These results contrast with the front-runner status assigned to Dean by observers who assume that Dean's money-raising (he has raised more money than any of the other Democratic candidates), the fact that he has received the endorsements of high-profile institutional and labor groups, and his lead in the crucial early primary state of New Hampshire put him in the leadership position. Be that as it may, it is clear that Democrats nationally have not yet moved to a position where they have decided on Dean as their clear top choice, perhaps -- as noted above -- because they have yet to focus fully on the race.
