Northern Arizona University poll shows Dean leading Clark by 10 pts

[pruner]

A Northern Arizona University poll released Monday said he (Dean) had the support of 22 percent of Arizona Democrats, compared with 12 percent for poll runner-up Wesley Clark. The survey was conducted mostly before Gore's surprising endorsement last week. The difference was beyond the margin of error of 4.9 percentage points.

1. Ohh yeah university polls they are accurate

3. Who do you think does the bitch work of calling all those people?

It definitely is nobody with a Ph.D. even though those people put their name on it and then sell it as their research...

9. Polling occured between Nov 14th-Dec 9th...

3+ weeks is a really long time differential for which to sample. The Survey USA poll was taken from Dec-13 to Dec-15, three days.

10. But you posted an article

With a subject about a poll. I don't get the connection. Seems misleading to me. What's up with that?

[pruner]

11. the content of my initial post was taken from the article

there was nothing misleading about the title whatsoever.

12. That's what I asked

I ran a search on the world poll and found it. I missed it before, that's why I asked where you got the poll stuff from. Sorry.

14. Interesting,

though either candidate is acceptable to me and I think they would make a great team when all is said and done. I do not care in which configuration.
