New poll correction: Clark tops Dean by 7 pts..
Edited on Thu Sep-25-03 05:29 PM by Kahuna

Edited out this erroneous title:
New Poll: Clark tops bush by 9pts and Dean by 7 pts...

http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,98328,00.html
snip,,

<<In a hypothetical match up between Bush and the newest candidate on the list of Democratic hopefuls, retired Gen. Wesley Clark (search), Bush comes out on top 46 percent to 37 percent. It should be noted that at this point in the race, Clark might just be representing the “generic Democrat” slot for many voters in the horse race question, as fully 65 percent say they don’t know enough or have never heard of him when in a separate question are asked if they have a favorable or unfavorable opinion of the candidate.


With 20 percent support, new entrant Clark tops the list as the Democrats’ choice for their party’s nomination. Clark is followed by former Vermont Gov. Howard Dean (13 percent), Massachusetts Sen. John Kerry (10 percent), Missouri Rep. Dick Gephardt (nine percent) and Connecticut Sen. Joe Lieberman (nine percent). The remaining candidates receive five percent or less.

When asked which Democratic candidate was doing the best job presenting his or her plans for the country and explaining how those plans differ from President Bush’s, voters say Dean is the candidate doing the best at making his case (13 percent), but a plurality says “none” (19 percent) of the candidates are explaining their positions and 35 percent are unsure.

4. yep these polls are all over the place
Edited on Thu Sep-25-03 05:27 PM by CMT
NBC/WSJ has Dean leading Clark by a point, Zogby has Clark and Dean tied with both Clark and Dean losing to Bush by 10-points. Gallup has Clark ahead and now Fox.
p.s.
you need to change your headline, Clark isn't ahead of Bush he is nine-points behind him.
