2. 11% only! For all the "rah rah" about Gore here on DU,

it doesn't look like he would be the obvious "Hillary alternative" straight away.

3. most think he isn't running

I think the trend of polling here at DU clearly indicates people will bolt their current declared candidates and board the S.S. Gore if he throws his hat in the ring. No offense to Obama whom I currently support, but I fall within that data.

On edit: FTR, a Gore/Obama ticket would be sublime.
