Unnamed Democrat tops Bush 43-41%

Many voters have not made up their minds yet whom to vote for in next year’s presidential election, and many still cannot name any of the candidates running for the Democratic nomination. However, when they do look ahead, voters are closely divided on their 2004 electoral preference.

When offered a choice between Bush or an unnamed Democratic candidate, 41% of registered voters choose Bush, and 43% say they will cast their ballot for the Democrat.

Ok folks, just from the snippet above, there are some key lessons here:

1. All these candidates that we all put so much energy into either promoting or criticizing, are still unknowns to MANY Americans. In our world, being political junkies and activist citizens, we should welcome the clean slate, even while striving to overcome it, and get the word out.

2. The fact that even an anonymous, undecided-upon Democrat can beat the Chimp is not a silver lining to be taken lightly.

3. Statistically, we are back to roughly early 2000 numbers on the electoral division, and this election is ours to lose.

But more importantly, it is ours to WIN.

It's CLARK.

This poll was ONLY juxtaposing the undecideds against the Chimp, which is a significant number of registered voters.
