Hillary Clinton Trails Badly in Left-wing Poll
A new poll of left-leaning Democrats shows Hillary Clinton badly trailing her 2008 presidential rivals, with Wesley Clark, Russ Feingold and John Edwards all getting more support.
The poll of 10,000 readers to the most widely trafficked Democrat blog, the Daily Kos, shows Gen. Clark is the 2008 frontrunner, with 34 percent support.
Sen. Russ Feingold comes in second with 19 percent
Behind him - John Kerry's former running mate John Edwards gets 10 percent.
Bringing up the rear, Hillary Clinton gets a tiny 8 percent support. And the trend shows her popularity fading - she got 10 percent in June.
"This isn't a scientific poll of the Democratic Party rank and file," reminds Koz. "But it's a pretty darn accurate poll of the sentiments of the Daily Kos community. 10,000+ respondents is nothing to sneeze at."
Hillary may still be wildly popular with Democrats at large. But it's the Moveon.org types who flock to web sites like Kos who will have a huge say in the primary process. And that's bad news for Mrs. Clinton.
As for John Kerry, they like him even less. He got just 3 percent in the Kos poll.
