POLL: Cook/RT 2008 Primary
Eric Dienstfrey | May 16, 2007
A new Cook Political Report/RT Strategies national survey (results, Charles Franklin's analysis) of 855 registered voters (conducted 5/11 through 5/13) finds:
- Among 402 Democrats, Sen. Hillary Clinton leads Sen Barack Obama (35% to 24%) in a national primary; former Sen. John Edwards trails at 11%, former V.P. Al Gore at 10%. If Gore does not run, Clinton runs at 40%, Obama at 25%, and Edwards at 13%
- Among 333 Republicans, former Mayor Rudy Giuliani edges out Sen. John McCain (25% to 24%) in a national primary; former Gov. Mitt Romney, former Sen. Fred Thompson, and former Speaker Newt Gingrich run at less at 10% each. If neither Gingrich or Thompson run, Giuliani runs at 31%, McCain at 27%, and Romney at 11%.
Their model shows 39% of democratic voters who say they always participate in a caucus or primary,This % doesnot measure up to past historical voters in primary and caucuses MUCH TO HIGH,
When I see percentages like that I question their likely voter screen
