New Poll #'s from Oklahoma look awesome for Clark!

[Quixote1818]

Survey USA reports fresh OK results (Jan. 29-31; MoE +/- 3.9%; Jan. 20-22 in parens):

Clark 31 (32)
Kerry 25 (17)
Edwards 23 (23)
Dean 10 (9)
Other 9

1. booooooooooommmmmmmmmm

bring it

[Quixote1818]

17. Every Major News Paper In OK Endorsed Clark!!!! Read:

ALSO: To add a bit on the subject of Mo', I should also note that Clark scored 2 OK newspaper endorsements--weapons Kerry and Edwards apparently wielded to devastating effect in IA and NH--Saturday and is due to add another Monday. So far as I know, no other candidate has scored any major OK newsroom endorsements, and if you add those to the Native American Times endorsement (which actually has a multi-state impact), Clark should definitely have positive press momentum heading in Tuesday in OK.

2. Thank God! for smalll favors...no, big favors. Thanks for post.

[Myra]

3. Go Wes. Feb 3! And then my state on Feb 7!

I be a caucus captain...brag.

[maddezmom]

5. congrats

:)

[Kathleen04]

4. Yay for Oklahoma!

Go Wes Go! :bounce:

[ISUGRADIA]

6. It looks like Kerry is moving up

+ 8 from the last period, Clark and Edwards constant.<P>
Then again, with the margain of error, either of the three could win. If I would bet $ on the results, I'd say Clark will pull out a victory here and likely be # 2 in most other states setting up a three way battle in Michigan and Wisconsin between Clark, Kerry, and Dean.

9. Dean? Most polls I've seen has him in single digits?

[flpoljunkie]

7. Zogby's latest OK results released today have Kerry 25%, Clark23% with

Edwards at 16%. It is a tight race, indeed.

[John_H]

26. Since Zogby is a Kerry partisan abgling for work, he can't be trusted

In addition to underpolling clark by 60 percent in NH, he said:

"A final note: I know that my polling in the past two-days has shown a close race. I have no doubt that this was the case. Dean had bottomed out in the latter part of the week, was re-gaining some of his support among key voting groups, and had rehabilitated up to a point his unfavorable ratings. But in the final analysis, New Hampshire voters have decided to nominate a possible president instead of sending an angry message,"

However true that statement may be, there's a guy who's sucking up to a potential client. Big time.

[krkaufman]

63. Zogby should be treated with same scorn as NewsMax

Why are people still posting Zogby polls?!?

[Nicholas_J]

8. Though I am very very supportive of Clark

and would gladly accept him as the nominee. the latest Zogby Polls now have Kerry head of Clark in Oklahoma, And ahead in all places except South Carolina, where he is statistically in a dea heat with Edwards.

[girl gone mad]

12. My poll is better than your poll..

Nani-nani boo-boo

:P

[maxr4clark]

14. Zogby chooses who to poll based on his opinions; he admits it. n/t

16. Thanks Julie!

We do love the guy, and it's hard to hear negative stuff about him.

[KC21304]

19. I love him too, no negative talk from here. Congrats to Clark.

Kerry/Clark 04

ABB

[MoonRiver]

20. Thanks Kerryfan!

We're all in this together! ABB is everything! Btw, I really like your guy too. He's my second choice. :pals:

[saoirse]

59. I second that

Clark's my guy, but Kerry rocks!

[Clark4Prez]

27. Thanks Julie

You Dean supporters have taught me a thing or two about dedication. Good luck next week, I hope Howard kicks butt. That should shut the media up...nah, what am I thinking?

[NNN0LHI]

15. Movin' on up n/t

23. Good for Clark, I'd like to see how he'd shake up the race

[Raya]

24. Good For Clark. Hope he gets one. He deserves it.

[RetroLounge]

25. Congrats to Clark Supporters...

eom

[Leilani]

49. Thank you

We need to keep this race going.

I think there are 4 viable candidates, & it's not over till it's over!

[MidwestMomma]

28. Excellent news my dear Clark supporters!

Good thoughts and strength to all. Keep up the good work! :loveya:

Go Wes!

[in_cog_ni_to]

29. ALL DAY LONG on CNN

they have been showing 3 polls: AZ, MO, and SC. I told my husband.. "I'll bet you any amount of money that Clark is leading in the OK poll and THAT is why they aren't showing it."

Damn them! I hate the media, I hate the media, I hate the media! I hate the media, I hate the media, I hate the media! I hate the media, I hate the media, I hate the media! I hate the media, I hate the media, I hate the media!

I am THRILLED for Wes! Kudos to a WONDERFUL man!

Go Wes!

[Auntie Bush]

31. I HATE them too. Told my husband the same thing.

[Jerseycoa]

32. I hate to feel so paranoid

But it is getting to me, too. :grr:

I had a friend visit yesterday who had traveled down from Manhattan. It was terrible. All I did was rag on her about the media (she works for CBS) the entire day. I told her that if Bush wins, God forbid, I will thank her for it. Shame on me. :(

But I forgot to tell everyone, another old friend was also here. She was telling me she knew Clark during the Bosnia crisis and he was very dear to the hearts of her particular segment of the left. My friend had been a refugee from Serbo-Croatia as a child in some other upheaval in those parts, and she has been an activist during Bosnia and Kosovo. (Now SHE speaks eight languages.) She had dinner with Samantha Power the night before she came here -- so cool.

[NewJerseyDem]

56. That's because it isn't their poll

I believe that those other 3 polls were CNN polls but this Oklahoma one is from Survey USA. They would rather tout their own polls than others. However, I agree that they should discuss more how Kerry is trailing in Oklahoma and South Carolina.

[arewethereyet]

30. Upon closer examination

The Survey USA folks had this to say (link below to the full PDF reporting available by clicking the OK heading on the summary web page)...

"Given volitility, this should be reported as a three way fight, not a Clark 'lead'." (Referring to the graph with Clark Kerry and Edwards the longest three bars)

"Clark has led for 6 wks but has no momentum and is vulnerable."

"Kerry has momentum coming out of NH win, but will Dean's attack on Kerry take toll in the final 36 hrs ?"

"Edwards rose steadiliy after Iowa, plateaued immediately after NH but may have caught tailwind in contest's final hrs."

http://surveyusa.com/2004_Elections/040201%20OK%20Dem%20Primary1.pdf

[in_cog_ni_to]

33. Thanks. That was helpful. Who are you?

CNN Jr.? :grr:

Go Wes!

[arewethereyet]

35. Oh, sorry for injecting a little objectivity from your very poll

should have known better.

I believe we have been asked to refer to the candidates in something more respectful than the familiar. General Clark as an example.

[in_cog_ni_to]

36. Sorry?

Uh huh......right. :eyes:

[MidwestMomma]

37. Huh?

:shrug:

Go Wes-Infinity!!!

[Lefta Dissenter]

41. Well, when I met

General Clark, he introduced himself as Wes. I guess that gives us privilege.

[Quixote1818]

43. Clark was running the weekest in Western OK but just got an

endorsment from the Lawton News Paper. Lawton is the biggest town in Western OK. Also Clark is going to Lawton tomorrow. You can't tell me that Clark's people don't know whear they need to go. Also I noticed that Clark was leading amung probable voters as well.

[Anwen]

34. Congrats to Clark!

I really hope he wins big there! :)

[incapsulated]

38. That's great but..

If Clark only wins a single state on Tuesday, he has to pick up a boatload of delegates elsewhere to stay competitive.

I was really feeling good when it looked like he would take at least 2 states out of OK, AZ and NM. Now we are in a battle just to keep OK.

Even if Edwards takes SC, if Kerry takes all the other states except OK, that's 5 for 7 and he will still be in the lead, the big story with the big mo'. Edwards will continue to get wet kisses from the press, especially because they are obsessed with SC, and ignore the other states. Clark's win will be seen as an anomaly, and he will continue to be ignored.

I'm sorry to piss on everyone's parade, this should be a happy thread. I've been doing campaign stuff over the weekend and now I have a bad cold and can't even make calls. I'm just feeling down toady. :(

[Jerseycoa]

39. feeling down, toady?

Poor baby :pals: I hope you feel better.

I'm feeling strangely calm about Tuesday. I don't understand it.

[incapsulated]

40. Thanks :)

Ah, I just wish it was over (Tuesday) so I could stop worrying and know one way or the other!

[Tatiana]

46. I think we will do better than the mediawhores have led us to believe.

Call me crazy, but I think Wes is gonna squeak out a close win in AZ. Two wins will give him some mo... not as much as Kerry, certainly, but more than Edwards.

Of course even if Clark does win OK and AZ, all we'll hear about is Edwards in SC anyway. :eyes:

Also, I think we will pull out second in at least two states. ND might surprise us... Fifteen percent will give us more DELEGATES!

Things look pretty good from my vantage point.

[incapsulated]

51. I have similar feelings about AZ

There is a part of me that just doesn't buy this Kerrymania in AZ.

But I could be in denial. ;)

[Tatiana]

53. They are much more MODERATE in AZ.

Clark's military background and support of the middle class has resonated with them, I think. My calls to AZ were ALL positive ones and all 20 people I called were strongly considering supporting Clark.

The meme of Kerry being even more of a flaming liberal than Kennedy must have reached Tuscon. Clark will enjoy strong support in AZ.

[incapsulated]

54. I agree

My AZ calls where positive, too. I also assumed it would be tough for a known "liberal" like Kerry to resonate with Arizona voters, even democrats, and that someone like Clark would be very attractive. We will see...

[krkaufman]

64. When you call people..?

Do you also enlist them in calling one or two friends? (in a suggestive, not forceful, fashion, of course)

[Kimber Scott]

60. You're not in denial

Clark is leading the polls here in Arizona.

[incapsulated]

62. Which polls?

Local ones?

[DJcairo]

42. It appears that Clark is slumping in OK, ARG has him only 2 points up

Zogby 2 points down. With teh undecides breeaking in Kerry's favor I doubt very much that Clark wins.

[Quixote1818]

44. The 3 News Paper endorsements will take care of that. Clark Wins

[incapsulated]

45. You "doubt very much" ?

That's a rather silly thing to say in a race within the MOE.

[mikehiggins]

47. Nah, some people would doubt very much if the Lord God Almighty

came down from Heaven to endorse Clark.

There are some people who are simply not going for our guy.

You really should have noticed that.

We'll see on Tuesday how it turns out.

If you don't hear anything from Oklahoma until midnight or later, it means Clark did well. If they start talking about Ok around noon EST Kerry did well. Somethings are really predictable.

[incapsulated]

50. Uh...

"You really should have noticed that."

I not only noticed it, I know it, what's your point?

I also know that DJcairo is a former Kerry then Dean now Kerry again guy.

[Leilani]

52. Did you take the Dale Carnegie Course?

"How to Make Friends & Influence People"

[Kimber Scott]

61. Zogby?

Which way did he change the points to "reflect what's happening on the ground" this time?

[tameszu]

48. Thanks for posting this!

Although we'd love a link to our blog when you quote from it--we need all of the enthusiastic Clark supporters like you we can get! =) Thanks!

Cheers,

Eric

You have excellent taste in candidates!

[fujiyama]

65. I can't congratulate...

anyone just yet, but I'll say this - I'm wishing you Clarkies all luck!

I hope Clark does win Ok and Edwards wins SC just to keep this whole primary interesting...

[Tim_in_HK]

66. I hope we keep this . . .

We could all use some good news.
