What Americans Are Really Looking For In A President

410 people were surveyed at a variety of places, including beaches, anti-Bush protests, churches, and shopping malls. The sample involved individuals in Orange and San Diego Counties (two of the more conservative counties in California) and involved probable voters in the Democratic Primary.

The third question was, "Toward which candidate are you currently leaning?"

The results of the third question on the survey was a surprise in view of the polls. Dennis Kucinich received 68%. Actually, this is in line with the Move-on results, where Dennis placed second after his campaign had just started and before it was even going in many places. Dennis occasionally places first in the Democrats.com poll as well. He has also received the endorsements of two top activist Internet news services, Citizens for Legitimate Government and Democrats.com, the latter of which has a membership of 125,000 activists.

Many pre-primary polls are limited to long-term party members. Many of those questioned in this survey were newly registered Democrats and people who were planning to re-register as Democrats and this may account for the difference between this and more high profile polls. The individuals surveyed at the anti-Bush rallies were activists who seemed better informed on all the issues and candidates than most individuals. In view of the millions who protested the Iraq war, it is clear that these people can organize. If they are falling behind one candidate, that candidate will have ready-made campaign workers when the time is right. If most pollsters stay away from the activist community, they may find some upset victories at election time.
