September 15, 2003Clark Up in the PollsA new poll today shows the effect which Clark will have immediately and the dynamic he will bring to this race. This latest Gallup Poll conducted over September 8-10 has Clark with a solid 10pt showing already. Only two points behind Kerry and three behind Lieberman, I suspect he will quickly leapfrog of these two candidates, who have been running for a year on millions already spent, and the race will turn into a three way run by December, as I've previously outlined. There is a great deal of data in this poll, including the fact that Lieberman's biggest strength comes from voters who aren't paying attention, Clark gets three points from John Kerry, and Dean leads among voters who Always vote. None of this is really a surprise, just a validation of what many have been saying for a while surrounding the Draft Clark movement. It should be an interesting week. Any predictions if he'll announce ahead of Friday? Posted by at September 15, 2003 01:40 AMComments
According to the poll: Clark is in first place among men, receiving 16% support, but ties for sixth place among women with just 5% of their vote. He'll need to sketch out his domestic agenda. Posted by: rickheller at September 15, 2003 11:15 AMKind of reinforces what a good strategy being a "non-candidate candidate" has been for Clark. So much of the attention has come from "what will he do?", "will he run?" ... and concern about the current field that leads people to contemplate alternatives. Jumping to 10% before announcing is, well, brilliant. Posted by: William Swann at September 15, 2003 03:57 PM |
