Gallup: Kerry extends lead over Dean as Dems make final N.H. push

[Feanorcurufinwe]

John Kerry continues to extend his lead in tracking polls — now 13 percentage points in front of Howard Dean — with just two days remaining before New Hampshire's Democratic presidential primary.

In the latest USA TODAY/Gallup/CNN poll, 38% of those polled leaned toward Kerry, while Dean came in second with 25%. Joseph Lieberman moved into third place (12%), ahead of Wesley Clark (10%). They were followed by John Edwards at 9% and Dennis Kucinich at 3%. (Related item: Latest poll results)

Results of the previous day's poll: Kerry, 35%; Dean 23%; Clark, 14%; Edwards, 11%; Lieberman, 10%; and Kucinich, 3%.

Kerry, who has benefited from a bounce in the polls since Monday's Iowa caucus victory, is expected to compete in all seven states — particularly so if he finishes strongly in New Hampshire and receives an influx of new campaign contributions.

He, too, was giving new attention to Missouri, and hired Steve Elmendorf, a top aide to Gephardt for a decade. http://www.usatoday.com/news/politicselections/nation/primariescaucus/2004-01-25-nh-push_x.htm

2. What were the polls right before Iowa?

You live by the poll, you die by the poll.

9. They showed Kerry winning, followed by Edwards, Dean and Gephardt.

In that order.

14. I think Zogby had Kerry, Dean, Edwards, Gephardt

So second and third places were reversed.

8. I saw a 7% lead by NBC news tonight with a 4+$ MOE...so it's a toss with

the # of independent voters

3. this particular poll was all messed up

I haven't seen a poll with Lieberman above Clark in NH. Ever. Maybe tis a bit off.

4. Hmmm...

Why is CNN using a graphic that shows the CNN/USA Today poll as showing it a 30-23 race? I just saw it again, and that's the numbers they're using.

[lancdem]

6. Could that actually be tomorrow's numbers?

Or another poll, perhaps?

[Padraig18]

10. nope.

They're using that graphic today, and NBC/MSNBC has it a statistical dead heat---28 to 25.

[lancdem]

13. That 30-23 is the Reuters/Zogby poll

from Jan. 22-24.

[Padraig18]

15. No.

I just saw the graphic on CNN after 5:00 CST this afternoon with the CNN/USA Today logo. Their poll may show the same numbers that Reuters/Zogby does, however. :)

7. MSN Poll shows...

a statistical dead heat?
