First the CLark facts:

Clark was never a member of the Republican party.

Clark voted for Nixon, Reagan, Clinton, Gore, and Kerry (in addition to actively campaigning for Kerry).

In 2003, Clark joins a political party for the first time and chooses the Democratic Party, changing his status from "independent" to Democrat.


Second, the Reagan facts:

1950 Reagan campaigns in support of California Democrat Helen Gahagan Douglas in her race against Richard Nixon for U.S. Senate.

Reagan leads a movement of Democrats for Eisenhower during both of Eisenhower's presidential campaigns, in 1952 and 1956.

1959 During his last term as president of the Screen Actors Guild, Reagan fights for, and achieves, better benefits and working conditions for actors.

1960 As a "Democrat for Nixon," Reagan champions Nixon’s candidacy for president, delivering more than 200 speeches in his support.

1962 Reagan switches his political affiliation to the Republican party.


Feel free to comment on any of these facts. The purpose of this poll is acertain how many Du'ers know that Reagan used to be a democrat, and that Clark was never a member of the Republican party.
