Daily Kos reports the results of the latest CNN nationwide poll on the Democratic contenders:
Lots of treading water within the margin of error, with Kerry slightly up, Lieberman slightly down, and Gephardt down quite a bit (but barely within the MOE). (June numbers in parenthesis):
Not sure: 21 (23)
Kerry: 16 (14)
Lieberman: 13 (16)
Dean: 11 (10)
Other: 9 (3)
Gephardt: 7 (12)
Edwards: 7 (6)
Sharpton: 5 (5)
Graham: 4 (4)
Braun: 4 (4)
Kucinich: 3 (3)“Other” went from three to nine, which can only mean one thing.
(Clark).
I also find it interesting that Dean is running third in the nationwide poll give all the buzz around him. I’m a bit skeptical that there’s a Clark groundswell evident in this poll; I think “other” much more likely means “SOMEBODY, ANYBODY, other than these guys.” Which, by the way, isn’t particularly unusual at this stage of the game. Nobody seems particularly presidential fourteen months out.
