DEAN LEADS ALL DEMS \| DEAN LEADS ALL DEMS \| DEAN LEADS ALL DEMS From the Howard Dean thread: Message 19648926 Posted by Eumenides: Democrats Would Choose Dean Over Kerry If the Election Were Held Today Fri Jan 02 2004 16:46:17 ET New York – Asked to vote for a Democratic presidential nominee if the election were held today, twice as many registered Democrats would choose Vermont Gov. Howard Dean (22%) over Mass. Sen. John Kerry (10%) -- or over Conn. Sen. Joseph Lieberman (9%) or Retired Gen. Wesley Clark (8%), according to a new TIME/CNN Poll. If Dean did NOT run for the nomination, 14 percent of Democrats would choose Kerry, 13% Clark,12% Lieberman, and 10% Missouri Congressman Dick Gephardt. In direct matchups today against President George W. Bush in 2004, likely voters would choose Bush over Dean 51% to 46%, Bush over Lieberman 52% to 46%, Bush over Kerry 54% to 43%, Bush over Gephardt 53% to 44%, Bush over Clark 53% to 43%, Bush over North Carolina Sen. John Edwards 53% to 43%. More findings: Only 1-in-4 (25%) are paying "very close" attention to the 2004 presidential election right now. Another 22 percent are paying "fairly close" attention, and 25 percent are paying "some" attention, while 17 percent are paying "just a little" attention. Things are going well in the country, say 65 percent (up from 53% Nov. 18-19). The TIME/CNN Poll, conducted on Dec. 30 and Jan. 1, 2003 and 2004 by HarrisInteractive, surveyed 1,004 adult Americans age 18 or older, including 399 registered voters who describe themselves as Democrats or leaners, by telephone. The overall margin of error is +/- 3.1% pts; the margin for Democrats with leaners is +/-4.9%. (It seems a bad omen for Mr Bush if he's running 51 to 54% regardless of the Democrat opponent. I think the going will get tough for Mr Bush after a few Democrats face the music and bow out. Eu)
