Among 499 Democrats and those who lean Democratic, Sen. Hillary Clinton and Sen. Barack Obama both run at 33% in a national primary; former Sen. John Edwards trails at 20%.

Edwards +5
Obama +6
Clinton -12

This is they highest Edwards has ever been nationally.

1. Well good for Edwards and Obama...

Clinton better stop the hemorrhaging. Although I have my preferences, I'll be satisfied with whichever one gets the nomination. Lord knows they are head and shoulders above the republican candidates this go-'round.

4. Woot!

I think he is going to continue to pick up momentum. The more his message gets out, the better it will be for him.

5. The country is catching on and it will be Edwards to win!

The momentum is only beginning! :applause: :woohoo:

7. yep!

6. It looks like he and Obama are pretty much splitting the points HRC loses. I think JE will

pick up steam once people realize HRC isn't inevitable. He won't match the Obama steamroller, but he CAN pick up some steam, especially in the South and industrialized states.

10. Edwards didn't make the news... just the title of a DU thread...

By the way, are you experiencing any cognitive dissonance between your support for John and your DU name?

;)

:hi:

9. I look for Edwards to win it all!

12. Countdown touched on this tonight

[ihavenobias]

14. Well

I believe Richard Wolfe of Newsweek briefly mentioned Edwards was "inching up in the polls" but he didn't give any numbers if I remember correctly.

That's why I largely avoid the mainstream media for election coverage and opt for something better: http://bravenewfilms.org/election
