[oberliner]

(Angus Reid Global Monitor) - Hillary Rodham Clinton remains the frontrunner among Democratic Party supporters in the United States, according to a poll by the Pew Research Center for the People and the Press. 34 per cent of respondents would support the New York senator in a 2008 presidential primary.

Illinois senator Barack Obama is second with 24 per cent, followed by former North Carolina senator John Edwards with 18 per cent, and former U.S. vice-president Al Gore with 14 per cent. Support is lower for Delaware senator Joe Biden, New Mexico governor Bill Richardson, and Ohio congressman Dennis Kucinich.

I mean, it isn't run by Republicans like one poll is, is it?

The difference in this poll and Rasmussen is the inclusion of Gore.

2008 Democratic Presidential Primary
National Poll: Obama 32% Clinton 30%
April 30, 2007

For the first time in the Election 2008 season, somebody other than New York Senator Hillary Clinton is on top in the race for the Democratic Presidential nomination.

The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey shows Illinois Senator Barack Obama with a statistically insignificant two point advantage over the former First Lady. It’s Obama 32% Clinton 30%. Former North Carolina Senator John Edwards remains in third with support holding steady at 17%. No other candidate tops 3%. The survey was conducted April 23-26, 2007 meaning that the overwhelming majority of the interviews were completed before last Thursday’s debate in South Carolina. The impact of the debate will be measured in polling conducted this week.

Following a surprisingly strong fundraising report released at the end of March, Obama steadily gained ground during April. The last Rasmussen Reports poll released in March found Clinton enjoying a dozen-point lead. Since then, Clinton’s support has fallen seven percentage points while Obama’s total has increased the same amount. Obama now leads among voters under 40. Clinton is strongest among those 65 and older. Clinton has a two-point edge among Democrats. Obama has a nineteen-point lead among independents likely to vote in a Democratic primary.

Rasmussen Reports releases national polling data on the Democratic nomination process every Monday and on the Republican race each Tuesday. The current survey of 765 Likely Democratic Primary Voters was conducted April 23-26, 2007. The margin of sampling error is +/-4 percentage points with a 95% level of confidence.
