Gallup says Dean in 3rd place, still a toss-up, plus Clark and Kerry fare better against Bush. Lieberman I consider an also-ran despite these numbers: 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.
