Poll: Clark second
in NH behind Dean


WASHINGTON (AP) — Wesley Clark has edged slightly ahead of John Kerry to move into second place behind Howard Dean in the New Hampshire Democratic Presidential race, according to a tracking poll out yesterday.

Clark, a retired general, has been gaining ground in national polls and is trying to position himself as the alternative to Dean, the former governor of Vermont. Dean had the backing of 35 percent of likely primary voters in the New Hampshire poll. Clark was supported by 18 percent while Kerry, a senator from Massachusetts, had 12 percent.

A year ago, Kerry led Dean by a 2-1 margin in this poll.

Clark has been moving up steadily in the tracking poll, but campaign aides don’t expect him to catch Dean in the state. They are looking ahead to more competitive races in the South and West.

This article shows the highest poll ranking iv'e seen for Clark in NH thus far. He is really catching on in a big way in NH.

6. If you find yourself

continually clicking on threads that contain the word "Clark" in the title when you don't intend to, I would recommend buying a new mouse. Your's seems to have problems.

Kick.

4. I think he is getting support from the sluggish Kerry

Campaign. These folks expected more from a soldier and are looking for another hired gun.

9. Dream on.

Enjoy it while you can. :)

10. Clark is not taking votes from Kerry

This has been debunked please see post

11. Not bad...he has half the voter support as Dean.

Unfortunately, trailing by half is not going to cut it, especially with the election around the corner. Clark chose not to compete in Iowa- if he loses in the only early primary he's contesting, expectations will be reset regarding his "electability".

13. 20% Is Not Half Of 35%

:)

[SahaleArm]

14. In base-6 it's pretty close...

DFA - All new polls will be in base-6 :evilgrin:

[KittyWampus]

17. What Is Base-6?

is that that crazy math talk?

Really what is base-6?

[Foswia]

25. Base6.

where once you get to 6 you start back over at one. We use a base 10, so 7 would be in effect the value of an 11 in base 6 ;) (you see, one higher than the base?)

Ya not a pure way to explain it, but it works.

[DancingBear]

27. The base-6 primer

Our conventional numbering system is base-10, i.e. numbers 0-9. Base 6 is numbers 0-5. Ergo:

base 10 base 6
1 1
2 2
3 3
4 4
5 5
6 10 (or "1" 6, nothing else, for a total of 6)
7 11 (or "1" 6, "1" 1, for a total of seven)
8 12
9 13
10 14


12 in base 6 would be 20 (i.e. "2" sixes and nothing else)

How about that?!?

15. I think u have it wrong

Considering Dean has been campiagning there for almost 2 years and Clark for a few months, Clark is doing great. Lets not even bring into the amount of money Dean has unloaded there, along with the media hype, until very recently.

That Dean balloon will soon be bust.

12. toast

toasty toasted toast!! mmmmmmmm

[Clark4Prez]

16. I like toast

And doughnuts... mmmmmmmmmmmm ....doughnuts

[MoonRiver]

28. I like toast.

Here's one for us to chew on :toast: :D

[funky_bug]

20. Toast?

Hey... you say that like it's a bad thing. Toast is good. Toast, and a warm cup of coffee. He is SO not toast. He's still a top contender. Let's not gloat. It's so unbecoming.

[jpgpenn]

21. well that beats fried spam!

[MoonRiver]

23. GREAT!!! I hadn't heard about this poll!

Thanks so much for sharing! :hi: Clark is going to take this nomination! :kick:

[billbuckhead]

24. I had a thread several days ago that Clark getting 25% would KO Dean

I think it will shut off the enevitibility factor and force Dean to go mano mano. There will be no running away and hiding. Besides, Dean's run out of wedge issues and his record and his record of gaffes will be concentrated on like a laser beam. Dean just isn't disciplined enough or humble enough to win over middle America. Dean's on quarantine from the press right now, right before the caucus. It's what they call in football, a "prevent" defense. You give up touchdowns in a controlled slow manner. The only problem is that you're giving up touchdowns. Clark's scoring on Dean now.

[MoonRiver]

26. "Clark's scoring on Dean now." And correctly so.

Clark's an imminently better candidate, and IMHO president, than Dean. I'm looking forward to Democrats demonstrating their good taste and judgment by nominating General Wesley Clark. :kick:
