Howard Dean Now Clear Democratic Leader in National Poll
ROCHESTER, N.Y., Dec. 22 /PRNewswire/ -- Howard Dean has established a strong national lead over all other candidates for the Democratic candidates. While the selection of the Democratic candidate will depend on the Iowa caucuses and primary elections in New Hampshire and many other states, the former Vermont governor has pulled ahead of all other candidates among Democrats and Democratic-leaning independents nationwide.
The Harris Poll(R) finds that Dean is now the preferred candidate of 21% of Democrats and Democratic-leaning independents, with a strong lead over Senator Joe Lieberman (10%), who is in second place, and all the other candidates.
These are the results of a nationwide Harris Poll of 993 adults, of whom 393 were Democrats or Democratic-leaning independents, surveyed by telephone by Harris Interactive(R) between December 10 and 16, 2003.
In the two months since an earlier mid-October poll, Dean has increased his share of the vote from 11% to 21%, while Senator Lieberman has seen his share decline slightly from 13% to 10%.
Below Lieberman on this list, four candidates are bunched together, General Wesley Clark (7%), Congressman Richard Gephardt (7%), Al Sharpton (6%) and Carol Moseley-Brown (6%). Senator John Kerry, who was once regarded by some pundits as the strongest candidate is preferred by only four percent (4%), with Senator John Edwards (3%) and Congressman Dennis Kucinich at the
end of the pack.
