The early favorite
Dean has 12-point lead

Howard Dean, the brash insurgent who seized the national political spotlight by raising cash over the Internet and bashing President Bush over Iraq, is the early favorite of Ohio Democrats, the first Dispatch Poll of the 2004 presidential campaign shows.

Registration required for poll, but the results are:

Dean 29%
Clark 17%
Gephardt 16%
Kucinich 11%
Lieberman 11%
Kerry 7%

Wasn't Clark leading in the last OH poll? ;-)

Dean has some connections there. Also I don't remember Clark leading there. Got a source?

Long Time Till OHIO, Slink....nice try, but you'd better be looking at Zogby in Iowa today or you won't make it to Super Tuesday.

6. that poll finished the 10th, and 3/4ths of the survey was done by

the time the Harkin endorsement was announced. There's going to be a bump in the next Iowa polls.

5. Last Ohio poll I saw showed Lieberman leading

Univ of Ohio, last October. :)

7. I wish Kucinich were leading in Ohio.

Kucinich was great last night in Iowa when he said:

My first act will be to withdraw from NAFTA and the WTO.

When I say this, some people respond, "oh, you're one of those protectionists."

Damn straight I'm a protectionist!

I want to protect American manufacturing jobs and American high tech jobs.

8. I know, but a lot of Ohioans didn't like Kucinich when he was mayor

[Freddie Stubbs]

11. 4th place isn't that bad

I believe this is his best performance in a state poll so far.

[slinkerwink]

12. yes, I think that's his best performance also---good for DK!

13. Don't get me wrong, Kucinich raises excellent issues

but if he doesn't stand a chance in his own state, shouldn't he be dropping out?

[slinkerwink]

15. I don't know

:shrug:

[OhioStateProgressive]

14. the dispatch poll isn't the "official" Ohio Poll

the Ohio Poll, by Ohio Policy Research is

but I expect Dean to be leading that one as well
