Edwards at 3rd place in NH, 9 %!

[Bombtrack]

Just saw on my WB affiliate, looking for link to poll

Dean was at mid 30's, Kerry high 20's

no other candidates were mentioned, so I assume Clark is somewhere in the mid single digits

They had to add in "just" 9 percent when they mentioned Edwards, bastards

1. What poll is that?

I thought all the recent polls had Dean with a sizable lead.

4. I was off a bit on Kerry/Dean, here it is

BOSTON (AP) - Democrat Howard Dean holds a 13-point lead over
John Kerry in New Hampshire, according to poll released
Sunday, the latest to show the former Vermont governor ahead
in a state that has a presidential primary Jan. 27. 

<snip>

Dean drew support from 37 percent of those surveyed for the
Boston Globe/WBZ, while Kerry, a Massachusetts senator, had
the backing of 24 percent. Dean had a 12-point lead over Kerry
in the same poll a month ago. 

Sen. John Edwards of North Carolina was backed by 9 percent,
Clark 8 percent and Rep. Dick Gephardt of Missouri 7 percent.
Sen. Joe Lieberman of Connecticut had the backing of 5
percent, Rep. Dennis Kucinich of Ohio was at 3 percent, and
Carol Moseley Braun and Al Sharpton had less than 1 percent.
The poll found that 7 percent were undecided or refused to
answer. 
..............

Dean    37
Kerry   24
Edwards  9
Clark    8
Gephardt 7
Liebrman 5
Kucinich 3
Braun   >1
Sharptn >1 

What was striking about all the newspaper reports that
contained this poll(which can be googled) was the clear bias
against Dean's opponents and for Dean. They all gave a clear
impression of poor defensless Dean being attacked for weeks.
It's rediculous and an obvious example of the corporate media
favoring Dean

7. He has been attacked for weeks...

just do a search on your moniker.

9. And he's been attacking others the entire campaign

The only serious candidates that haven't made bashing opponents a central characteristic of there campaign are Clark and Edwards.

Dean's the only candidate to release attack ad commercials

If anything he's the candidate to step up the most offensivly of anyone recently.

Leiberman stopped confronting Dean, and switched to Clark. Kerry and Dean have had a constant back and forth for the entire campaign.

The impression from the reports was a false one

2. he moved up quickly, he was at 5 or 6% just a week ago

I guess people are finally starting to take notice.

8. That's way different from the recent Zogby poll.

I tend to trust Zogby. I understand there's a new Newsweek New Hampshire poll out, but I can't find it even on the Newsweek site.

Poll numbers may or may not be meaningless, but they are for sure meaningless if we don't know who did the polling.

10. Boston Globe/WBZ

WBZ is the Boston CBS affiliate

11. It's not THAT different

The Zogby poll had Dean a few points higher, and Edwards and Clark tied at third, each around 8%. The only discrepancy is Kerry seven points lower in Zogby's - which is still margin-of-error.
