Dean Regains Slight Iowa Lead in Neck and Neck Race With Gephardt
With less than seven weeks remaining until Iowa’s January 19 caucus vote, Former Vermont Governor Dr. Howard Dean has re-taken a slight lead in his quest for the Democratic presidential nomination. In December 1- 2 polling of 500 likely Iowa caucus voters by Zogby International, Dean jumped back ahead of Missouri Congressman Richard Gephardt, the earlier Iowa front-runner, 26% - 22%, yet within the poll’s margin of statistical error.

Massachusetts Senator John Kerry was third with 9%, followed by North Carolina Senator John Edwards at 5%. Nearly three in ten (28%) remain undecided, providing some hope for the trailing candidates.

3. A reminder to us all that it's not over 'til it's over. Gives hope to those of
us whose candidates are in the bowels of the polls basement.

9. Thank you for this!
:hi: Claiming the inevitability of any candidate (at least here in Iowa) at this point in the process is just blowing smoke.

11. So, the 2004 race was volatile with numerous changes in the lead
Edited on Tue Sep-18-07 04:04 PM by Freddie Stubbs
How is that relevant to 2008, when the leader hasn't changed even once?
