Dean Takes Front-Runner Status Nationally for First Time

PRINCETON, NJ -- With little over a month until the first contest for delegates to the Democratic National Convention, a new CNN/USA Today/Gallup survey of Democrats shows, for the first time, former Vermont Gov. Howard Dean has moved into first place for his party's nomination among Democrats nationally. Twenty-five percent of registered voters who identify with or lean to the Democratic Party say they are supporting Dean for the nomination. Retired Gen. Wesley Clark ranks second with 17%. Three weeks ago, Dean and Clark were tied at 17%.

7. Where will Gephardt's supporters go when Dean wins Iowa?

Is there too much bad blood between Gep and Dean for his supporters to move to Dean?

This race is just getting started boys and girls

[janx]

10. Many of Geppy's supporters went to Dean already.

This includes some very long-time supporters.

16. They'll go to Kerry

[sandnsea]

18. Union voters for Kerry

In the Pew poll released today, Kerry actually has the most union voters. If those voters and the education breakdown leave Gephardt, they'll go to Kerry. Gep's voters more closely match his than Dean.
