Straw Poll Shows Al Gore is Preferred (Daily Kos poll)
Straw Poll Shows Al Gore is Preferred by Whopping 68% of Democratic Voters
Just how popular is Al Gore among Democrats? A recent DailyKos.com straw poll of 11,000 voters shows an astounding 68% would support the former veep if he decided to run for president in 2008. The runners-up pale in comparison:

Al Gore: 7513 votes/68%
Russ Feingold: 1721 votes/15%
Wesley Clark: 539 votes/4%
Mark Warner: 370 votes/3 %
John Edwards: 282 votes/2%
John Kerry: 86 votes/0%
Hillary Clinton: 78 votes/0%
Bill Richardson: 67 votes/0%
Joe Biden: 56 votes/0%
Evan Bayh; 40 votes/0%
Chris Dodd: 23 votes/0%
Tom Daschle: 15 votes/0%
Tom Vilsack: 13 votes/0%

While Hillary Clinton has enjoyed early frontrunner status in the media, she is not a favorite among actual voters. She came in behind not only Gore, but Russ Feingold, Wesley Clark, Mark Warner, John Edwards and John Kerry, in that order. Her attempts at triangulation, a la hubby Bill, have backfired, leaving voters searching for a candidate who adheres to traditional Democratic ideology.

Gore's got the political experience, the fundraising machine and the overall gravitas to be the party's nominee and take back the White House, a domicile that many think is rightfully his. His strong and early anti-war stand and pro-environment advocacy are two significant messages that resonate quite well right now with voters. "There's a lot of love for Al Gore. I mean if he were to enter the race, I think it would turn everything upside down," said DailyKos's Markos Moulitsas Sunday on NBC's Meet the Press.

4. I want the man who understands the real enemy.
And the only one who gets it is Gore.

But I do believe that Al Gore knows the real enemy.....

He's just not the only one. Sorry!

btw, is there an actual link to this actual poll? I only see a link to a story but no link to the original poll in the story? Can someone post it for me? Thanks! :hi:

6. I like Gore, but even scientific polls I only take with a grain of salt.
And this one ain't scientific...Gore supporters gotta love it, though.
