Zogby Poll: Al Gore Leading Contender Against Bush

2:35 PM PST

From DraftGore.com and Zogby.com

A Zogby International poll released today shows that in spite of his three-months absence from the national political scene, former Vice President Al Gore is still the strongest Democratic challenger to President Bush. If the election for president were held today, Bush would be the winner by 51%, with Gore at 42%. All other Democrats lag behind Bush by 12 points or more. The poll of 1,129 likely voters was conducted March 14-16. The margin of error is +/- 3%.

Respondents were asked to indicate a preference between George Bush and each of several likely Democratic contenders. The Draft Gore 2004 Committee (DraftGore.com) commissioned Zogby International to add Gore's name to the list of contenders for the match-ups against Bush. Gore was preferred over Bush by 42% of respondents, followed by Hillary Clinton (39%), Richard Gephardt and Joe Lieberman (both at 38%), John Kerry (36%), and John Edwards (32%).

Gore also enjoys the greatest support among Democratic voters (74%), followed by Clinton (70%), Gephardt (70%), and Kerry (65%).

What really impressed me was that Gore was campaigning and soliciting cash one week and withdrew the next week. I think he was vetted by someone. IMHO the problem was his visit to China last Summer. He must have asked or promised something out of the ordinary.

74+70+70+65 = 279%

LOL! Whats with that?

Scientifically I'd say this suggests 179% of democratic voters vote so many times at each election that they forget people will notice if they have multiple vote in a small sample poll OR the dead vote is larger than I thought. Draw your own conclusions.

I thought that looked funny also 'til I figured it out.

What the poll did was measure each Dem against Bush individually.

Bush beat Gore head to head, Bush beat Hillary head to head... etc..

Another way to look at it was 26% of DEmocrats preferred Bush to Gore. How can anyone win an election when you can't get more than 80% of your registered base/those who show up to the caucuses

This is hilarious. The Dems pushed poor old Al out of the race and now after months of huffing and puffing none of them has managed to get off the ground yet.

The one sobering thought is Hillary waiting in the wings.

But, but, but I thought that a poll last week said that President Bush would lose against an "unnamed Democrat"???

Maybe the "unnamed Democrat" was God?

Amerikan people!

I will aks you to consider Al Sharpie for Prez and Al Bore for VeeP. If you add their percentages, they will beat that "dumb cowboy" with their looks and intelektet. Whata winning team! Run Als run!

Let's Roll!

Sounds like a doomed combo. Candidates named Al, Alf or Alton have always lost in Presidential elections.
