Kerry vs Dean in New Hampshire / SHOCKING results !
Advertisements [?]
Edited on Sun Feb-01-04 11:08 AM by Skinner
Interesting Points:

MORE voters feel Dean has the right temperment to be President than Kerry.

Voters 'angry' with the Bush* administration chose Dean over Kerry.

Voters opposed to IWR chose Dean over Kerry.

Voters concerned with 'issues' chose Dean over Kerry.

In summation, a sizable number of those who voted for Kerry - approved of IWR, aren't angry with Bush*, don't care about issues as much as electability, feel Kerry CAN beat Bush*, but think his temperment is WORSE than the candidate labelled as 'angry', Howard Dean.


I don't know if I've ever seen such damning support for a candidate in my life.

 
 

The findings were from preliminary results of a survey of 1,375 New Hampshire Democratic primary voters, conducted for AP and the television networks by Edison Media Research and Mitofsky International. Results were subject to sampling error of plus of minus 4 percentage points, higher for subgroups.

One in five voters said the quality that mattered most in their decision was that their candidate can defeat Bush, and Kerry won six in 10 of their votes. Kerry, the longtime U.S. senator and decorated Vietnam War veteran, did equally well among the one in 10 who said the top quality is that "he has the right experience."

About three in 10 said the top quality was that "he stands up for what he believes," and Dean, the tough-talking former Vermont governor, won half their votes. About one in 10 said the top quality was that "he has a positive message" and they split pretty evenly among Kerry, Edwards and Dean.

Asked if they voted for their candidate more because he can defeat Bush in November or because "he agrees with you on the major issues," a third said defeating Bush was a higher priority, and half of them favored Kerry. Dean had an edge among those who said the candidate's stand on issues was more important.
