Eric Dienstfrey | July 23, 2007
A new ABC News/Washington Post national survey (ABC story, results; Post story, results) of 1,125 adults (conducted 7/18 through 7/21) finds:
- Among Democratic voters and those who lean Democratic, Sen. Hillary Clinton leads Sen. Barack Obama (39% to 28%) in a national primary; former Sen. Al Gore trails at 14%, former Sen. John Edwards at 9%. Without Gore, Clinton leads Obama 45% to 30%. All other candidates receive less than five percent.
- Among those who support Clinton, 68% "strongly" support her while 32% "somewhat" support her. Among those who support Obama, 56% strongly support him while 43% somewhat support him.
- 83% are satisfied "with the choice of candidates for the Democratic nomination for president this year;" 16% are dissatisfied.
