Kerry and Dean Continue to Lead Democrats in New Hampshire

Massachusetts Senator John Kerry and former Vermont Governor Howard Dean continue to lead in ballot preference among likely Democratic primary voters in the New Hampshire Democratic Presidential Preference Primary according to the latest New Hampshire Poll. Kerry receives support from 25% of likely Democratic primary voters and is followed by Dean at 19%. Congressman Dick Gephardt, at 10%, is the only other potential Democratic candidate to receive double-digit support in the ballot preference.

These results are based on 600 completed telephone interviews among a random sample of registered Democrats and undeclared voters in New Hampshire saying they always vote or vote in most Democratic primary elections. The interviews were conducted July 21 through 24, 2003. The theoretical margin of error for the total sample of 600 is plus or minus 4 percentage points, 95% of the time, on questions where opinion is evenly split.

Joe Lieberman has lost five percentage points from the June survey and his current 5% ballot preference matches ballot preference for him in January.

1. Funny...Tweety quoted the rightwing poll today....

the Boston Herald poll that said Dean led. The paper outed itself by throwing Hillary into the poll.

2. When are they going to stop including Hillary?

They might as well put Bill in the poll. I think it just gives them a good laugh.

3. It's their way of diminishing the candidates...

and they've been doing it for a year now.
