A total of 16% of likely Democratic primary voters remain undecided in the February 17 primary.
Kerry also leads in favorability, with 65% of likely Democratic primary voters saying they have a favorable opinion of Kerry. Kerry's favorable rating is up from 53% on February 6.
These results are based on 600 completed telephone interviews among a statewide random sample of registered voters in Wisconsin saying they will definitely vote in the Democratic presidential preference primary on February 17, 2004. The interviews were conducted February 11 and 12, 2004. The theoretical margin of error for the total sample of 600 is plus or minus 4 percentage points, 95% of the time, on questions where opinion is evenly split.
