ISU caucus poll: Dean leads with voters attending

[Khephra]

snip.......

According to a poll conducted by Iowa State University, former Vermont Gov. Howard Dean leads among people who "definitely" or "probably" will attend the Jan. 19 caucuses.

Dean was the first choice for 28.5 percent of those people, followed by Rep. Richard Gephardt, who had 20.9 percent. Sen. John Kerry placed third with 15.3 percent.

Among people who "might or might not" or "will not" attend the caucuses, roles are reversed. Gephardt was the non-attendees' first choice with 27.5 percent. Dean earned 22.1 percent of those respondents.

"What actually counts is people who show up," said Robert Lowry, an associate professor of political science who contributed to the study. "Remember, it's still two months off."

1. Dean has had an amazing week in the polls!

It looks like Iowa's going to be close but I'm glad to see the Doc has the more committed support.

2. Polling of non voters is worthless

It doesn't matter what people think if they are not likely to vote, polls should be of "likey voters" only. As for Dean, he is not the guy I orginally wanted, but he does have my support, the guy is doing the best job so far of standing up to the bush team to win America back to the people
