Zogby Poll: Al Gore Leads Top Tier Dems in 'Blind Bio' Poll

Survey finds most Democratic likely voters would consider a new candidate given the current field’s views on Iraq and global climate change.

A Zogby International “blind bio” telephone poll shows that former Vice President Al Gore is favored over the current Democratic frontrunners by likely Democratic Party voters nationwide – particularly among liberal Democrats.

When Democratic likely voters were given brief biographical descriptions of the top three Democratic candidates – New York Sen. Hillary Clinton, Illinois Sen. Barack Obama, and former North Carolina Sen. John Edwards – along with the biography of Gore, the former Vice President won 35% support, while Clinton won 24%, Obama won 22% and Edwards trailed with 10% support. Gore’s bio was the top choice of both men (39%) and women (31%), and also most favored by younger voters. Self-described liberal Democrats strongly favored Gore’s bio (43%) over Clinton (21%), Edwards (17%) and Obama (12%). The bio selections of moderate Democrats closely mirrors the choices of likely Democratic voters overall, with 36% giving the greatest preference to Gore’s bio.

In a blind bio poll, the names of the candidates are not used, but are replaced with a brief description of each candidate’s biographies. Those biographies are included in the chart below. The telephone survey commissioned by AlGore.org was conducted October 24-27, 2007, included 527 likely Democratic voters nationwide, and carries a margin of error of +/- 4.4 percentage points.

A separate Zogby Interactive survey also conducted last week shows Gore’s overwhelming favorability among Democrats – 92% gave Gore a positive rating, with 67% saying they held a very favorable view of the former Vice President. This nationwide poll of adults finds the vast majority of progressives (97%) and liberals (98%) view Gore favorably, with more than two in three moderates (67%) holding a positive opinion of Gore...

I guess that explains the big ad for Coulter in the right hand corner. I'll see if I can find a substitute link.

11. Talk about stating the obvious ...

Yeah, Al Gore would win. And, sure he's the best hope for the country and the world .... But, there's this little thing standing in the way - he doesn't CARE! He is not/will not run for President. His current 'gig', of looking down upon us as we all wallow in the mess we were left in, by the Supreme Court in 2000, while collecting trophies and cash, appears to be where he wants to be.

So, maybe it's time to admit he may not be as 'great' as some of us, originally, thought.

...is when we should stop trying - not before that

There's a VietNam vet with a cardboard sign
Sittin' there by the left turn line
A flag on his wheelchair flappin' in the breeze
One leg missin' and both hands free
No one's payin' much mind to him
The VA budget is just stretched so thin
And there's more comin' back from the Mid-East War
We can't make it here anymore

And that big old buildin' was a textile mill
It fed our kids and it paid our bills
But they turned us south and they closed the doors
We can't make it here anymore

You see those pallets piled up on the loadin' dock
Their just gonna sit there til they rot
Cause there's nothin' to ship and nothin' to pack
Just busted concrete and rusted tracks
Empty store fronts around the square
There's a needle in the gutter and glass everywhere
You don't come down here unless your lookin' to score
You can't make it here anymore

The bar's still open but man it's slow
The tip jar's light and the register's low
The bartender's don't have much to say
But the regular crowd gets thinner each day
Some have maxed out all their credit cards
Some are workin' two jobs and livin' in cars
Cause minimum wage won't pay for a roof
Won't pay for a drink, if you gotta have proof
Just try it yourself Mr. CEO, see how far $5.15 an hour will go
Take a part time job at one of your stores
I betcha can't make it here anymore

There's a High school girl with a bourgeois dream
Just like the pictures in the magazine
She found on the floor of the laundromat
A woman with kids can forget all that
If she comes up pregnant what'll she do
Forget the career, forget about school
Can she live on faith? live on hope?
High on Jesus or hooked on dope
When it's way too late to just say no
You can't make it here anymore

Now I'm stocking shirts in the Wal-Mart store
Just like the ones we made before
'Cept this one came from Singapore
I guess we can't make it here anymore

Should I hate a people for the shade of their skin
Or the shape of their eyes or the shape I'm in
Should I hate 'em for having our jobs today
No I hate the men sent the jobs away
I can see 'em all now, they haunt my dreams
All lily white and squeaky clean
They've never known want, they'll never know need
Their shit don't stink and their kids won't bleed
Their kids won't bleed in the damn little war
And we can't make it here anymore

Will work for food
Will die for oil
Will kill for power and to us the spoils
The billionaires get to pay less tax
The working poor get to fall through the cracks
Let 'em eat jelly beans let 'em eat cake
Let 'em eat shit, whatever it takes
They can join the Air Force, or join the Corps
If they can't make it here anymore

So that's how it is
That's what we got, if the President wants to admit it or not
You can read in the paper, read it on the wall
Hear it on the wind if your listenin' at all
Get out of that Limo, look us in the eye
Call us on the cell phone and tell us all why
In Dayton, Ohio or Portland, Maine
Or a cotton gin out on the great high plains
That's done closed down along with the school
And the hospital and the swimming pool
Dust devils dance in the noonday heat
There's rats in the alley
And trash in the street
Gang graffiti on a boxcar door
We can't make it here anymore

Great lyrics!!

16. I knew this was coming

you have a lot of nerve saying Gore doesn't care about this country. He has every right not to run, and that doesn't make him less than he is.

But don't worry, in another month or so you'll have tons of company as DUers join you in your misplaced outrage, and smear Gore, just as you're doing.

14. When it's a day too late for him to run...

" When it's a day too late for him to run...
... is when we should stop trying - NOT before that. "


Damn straight ... damn straight.


And frankly ... even then, even then.


I'm certainly just a novice, but I seriously doubt that the Honorable Al Gore will sit back and let this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to pass him by. Especially considering what the position would allow him to achieve re. Global Warming. I mean really ... why pass on the the greatest opportunity to do the MOST GOOD for your cause ? He won't ... he WILL run. We'll likely (hopefully) know by next Thursday.

And THEN it's time to get to work. For me, and ALL true peace-loving Democrats.

15. Wow, Newsmax, a right wing rag reports this.

So the right and the left are now working together to push this man in to get their Clinton/Gore sideshow? Thank God this man is articulate and intelligent enough to see through this.

[mod mom]

20. Just because a RW rag reports something from the Zogby source doesn't negate

it.

[stlsaxman]

17. Thanks for correcting the link. Newsmax may be the only folks to cover this but

it doesn't mean it isn't true.

Besides, they're scared shitless he WILL run. While most Dems, apparently, are scared shitless he won't.
