Survey finds Dean is top pick among party leaders

The Associated Press

LOS ANGELES --
Howard Dean is the top choice for Democratic Party leaders, enjoying more than twice the support of his closest rivals for the presidential nomination, according to a Los Angeles Times poll posted on its Web site Saturday.

Dean was favored by 32 percent of the members of the Democratic National Committee surveyed, followed by Rep. Dick Gephardt of Missouri at 15 percent and Sen. John Kerry, of Massachusetts, at 14 percent.

Other results showed retired Gen. Wesley Clark with 7 percent, Sen. John Edwards with 5 percent, Sen. Joe Lieberman with 3 percent and Carol Moseley Braun with 1 percent. Rep. Dennis Kucinich and Al Sharpton had less than one percent. Twenty-two percent were unsure who they would choose.

The Times survey, taken between Dec. 4 and Dec. 11, involved interviews with 327 of 386 selected DNC members. Not interviewed were those who traditionally stay neutral until the party's nomination is made, such as national Chairman Terry McAuliffe. It also did not include committee members living abroad.
