We need more data, I know, but for right now, we have poll data that some of us have been waiting for...

If Gore Runs, 44% Of Democrats Would Vote For Him by NYPopulist

In an IPSOS poll, commissioned by the Independent Film Channel, they ask the following question: "If Al Gore announced his candidacy for President today, how much would this impact your decision?"

DEMOCRATS polled said:
Would vote for Al Gore: 44% (In a primary with 4-top tier candidates, Gore would win if he captured 44%)
Would vote for another Democratic candidate: 54%
Would vote for a Republican candidate: 3%

INDEPENDENTS polled said:
Would vote for Al Gore: 33%
Would vote for another Democratic candidate: 29%
Would vote for a Republican candidate: 38%

REPUBLICANS polled said:
Would vote for Al Gore: 5%
Would vote for another Democratic candidate: 4%
Would vote for a Republican candidate: 91%

NYPopulist's interpretration... it looks like Gore would get 44% of the Democratic primary vote. In a nine candidate race with four top-tier contenders, this is more than enough to easily secure the nomination.

If the elections were held today between a Republican and a Democrat, who do you think would win, regardless who you would prefer to win?
- A Democrat: 67% (94% Democrat; 40% Republican; 69% Independent)
- A Republican: 33% (6% Democrat; 60% Republican; 31% Independent)


Have you read or watched "An Inconvenient Truth"?
- Yes: 18% <- HOW SAD IS THIS?!?!?
- No: 79%
- Not sure: 2%



Which of the following is the most meaningful award to you?

- Nobel Prize: 52% (67% Democrat; 35% Republican; 56% Independent) <- :D

- U.S. Presidency: 42% (28% Democrat; 61% Republican; 38% Independent) <- :shrug:

- Oscar: 5% (4% Democrat; 4% Republican; 5% Independent) <- :rofl:

- Emmy: 1% (1% Democrat; 0% Republican; 1% Independent) <- :rofl:
