Dean has 6-point lead in Michigan

[CMT]

A new Epic/MRA poll suggests that Gov. Dean has opened a six-point lead in the race for the caucuses next year.

Dean: 21%
Clark: 15%
Kerry: 13%
Gephardt 13%
Liberman: 12%

everyone else is in single digits (the story didn't give there percentages)
Undecided: 12%

Michigan is a state which might use internet voting (this is under review at this time) and among internet users the Dean lead would swell to 11-points. Among voters who will come to the caucuses in person or vote by mail--Dean is tied for the lead (again the story, doesn't give any details of percentages in this case).

The last statewide poll in May had Dean as an also-run (in single digits) while Lieberman was leading the state with 27% (he has lost more than half his support since May). Gephardt was running a strong second with 19% and Kerry had 15%--not much changed.

1. 12% undecided...

The undecided numbers are starting to really tail off. Two months ago the UD's were in the 30% range. In another month or so, we should be getting a pretty clear picture of how the early primaries are likely to play out. Michigan is February 7, so this looks pretty good for Dean and Clark.

2. good point

also since it is a caucus state--organization will make a big difference in getting your vote out. So on this count I don't rule out Gep either since he probably will have the most union support, but of course, the UAW hasn't endorsed yet.
