13. That depends, really
If you look at the sample for 99% of these polls, you'll notice that they are either 1) registered Democrats and 2) people who voted in the last election. However, I can show you some numbers that may suprise you, if you haven't seen them previously.

A large portion of Kucinich's support comes from those that are either disaffected voters or Democratic voters who have not voted lately because they're disenchanted with the Democrats. These people are regularly "under the radar" of the press and aren't the ones who get called by the major polling organizations. However, these are also the same people that don't mind going to their precinct caucuses and speaking their mind when they're there.

There is a VERY strong grassroots Kucinich network out there. We just had over 1,000 Peace Party fundraisers over the weekend. Of course you wouldn't know that by reading the press because Dennis is considered an "important" candidate or isn't "electable".

All I can say is that a LOT of people are going to be suprised the morning after Iowa.... :D
