Last week, we asked readers to participate in a survey and to vote for their preference among leading Democratic nominees for their party's nomination. As noted in the introductory article, we will be running a similar poll and ask readers about their preference among leading Republican candidates.
The poll received an enthusiastic and sometimes an impassioned responses from readers who favor or oppose a particular candidate.
The self-identification of political affiliation of those responding was listed by readers as follows:
Democrat: 44%
Republican: 26%
Independent: 25%
Other: 2%
Don't Know: 3%
With approximately 1400 readers responding, here are the results of the poll.
Which of the following leading candidates would receive your vote for the Democratic Party nominee to be president?
Joe Biden: 4%
Hillary Clinton: 19%
John Edwards: 18%
Barack Obama: 30%
Bill Richardson: 10%
Other: 19%

Rob, this is a very interesting poll. I think it very interesting that Obama, at this time, is the front runner. I find it very disheartening that the only person that directly said she would vote for Hilary, did so simply because Hilary is a woman. I agreed with several comments, especially the one from the border agent. Let's get people in office that are going to do something to inforce our immigration laws.
