WTOP-ABC 7 Poll: Dean Leads D.C.

WTOP Radio and ABC-7 WJLA TV conducted a poll of likely Democratic voters in the D.C. Primary.

Among the findings:

Howard Dean Holds a Substantial Lead in the D.C. Democratic Primary

In a hypothetical 9-way race, Dr. Howard Dean leads his nearest competitor by more than two-to-one. He polls 27% of the primary electorate, compared to 11% for his closest rival, Gen. Wesley Clark.

2. More from the DC poll

Dean is seen as the most electable

Nearly one voter in three (30%) sees Dean as best able to beat President Bush among the nine contenders. Clark is next, viewed as most electable by 13%.

Among their own supporters, both Clark and Dean are viewed as the most electable candidate by two-thirds. No other candidates come close to that level among their own supporters.

But a substantial minority of voters would like someone else to run

More than one voter in four (29%) wishes someone else would get into the Democratic contest for president. A majority (53%) are satisfied with the current choices, while 18% are just not sure.

3. Among African-American voters, Dean's total ties the total of...

Sharpton and Moseley-Braun combined.

It sure puts to rest those rumors that African-American voters will run screaming the other way from Howard Dean.

Strength everywhere - white voters, African-American voters, young, old. Looks good!

4. but but but....

I thought Dean couldn't appeal to minority voters?? I thought his campaign was all rich white people and that he turned off all the black folks with his comments about the evil Confederate Flag????
