A Poll!

It's not election season any more, so polling data is not plentiful. However, whenever we hear about a poll here at Basie!, we try and pass it along. National Journal's Poll Track (subscription required) passes on this latest poll from Zogby:

A Zogby survey conducted for the Democratic firm WhatsNext Communications shows [Hillary] Clinton with a big lead on the overall 2008 field -- both women and men. When asked who they would vote for if the Democratic primary were held today, 32 percent of respondents named the New York senator. (John Kerry came in second with 16 percent and former Vice President Al Gore earned 12 percent. Former vice-presidential candidate John Edwards -- who some think has already started campaigning for the ticket's top spot in 2008 -- got 9 percent of the vote.)
Also in the mix: Howard Dean at 7%, Bill Richardson with 5%, Wesley Clark and Evan Bayh with 3% apiece, and Russ Feingold at 1%. The race for the Democratic nomination is far from over and undoubtedly a name not polled will seemingly come out of nowhere to gain substantial support, perhaps even enough to win the race.

[Update 3:17 PM Pacific]: For the Clarkies in the audience, there is some good news from this poll. When asked "Who do you believe is the best Democrat to defeat a Republican nominee, like John McCain or Rudy Giuliani, in 2008?", Independents put Clark (12%) second to Clinton (24%).
