Default new poll results for the Democrats

This is a very interesting poll.

http://www.fedsmith.com/articles/art...ArticleID=1166
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%


in the poll.

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.

Freedom, I would have thought that Biden would have done better in this poll. Oh well, it looks pretty dismal for us if this is the best the Democrats can find and it isn't any better on the other side either. I want someone that has the balls to take some action on immigration.

I think that one of the posters had a very good point, at least for the Democrats. Why can't we put forth someone who is more moderate? Why are we forever getting more left? The more left they get, the more it seems that they want everything their way, and be damned with the rest of us. I see this on the far right also. But, at least the Republicans have some moderate running. I think Edwards is the most moderate the Dems are offering at this point, and I will definately have to see where he stands on immigration, and that damned NO Child Left behind crap.

This scares me if your calling Edwards a moderate.

Look at it again. I said the most moderate. But that is exactly my point. However, what you and I consider moderates, may be entirely different. The candidate I'm looking for will be in the center/left leaning, or as close to that as I can get.

I think it is great news.

If you are talking about Obama, he does not consider himself a Muslim, I do not think we should either.

Ken, he doesn't consider himself a Muslim, what does his family consider him?
