InsiderAdvantage Poll: Howard Dean leads Democrats for '04 elections

http://biz.yahoo.com/prnews/030814/atth010_1.html

For the first time, former Vermont Gov. Howard Dean is leading the
Democratic field for the 2004 presidential elections, according to a
new tracking poll taken by InsiderAdvantage in conjunction with MWI
Research.

Of respondents who said they plan to vote next year for someone other
than President Bush, 15.6 percent indicated they would vote for Dean.
This nearly doubles his percentage of 8.6 from the previous month's
poll.

The poll was conducted August 6-9. It sampled 500 Americans and
has a margin of error of plus or minus 4 percent.

"This is an amazing change of circumstances," said Matt Towery, a
Creators Syndicate columnist and co-founder of InsiderAdvantage.
"Since the inception of our cumulative polling on this race, Joe
Lieberman had led the Democratic field of candidates, usually by a
comfortable margin. But Dean's powerful Internet-based campaign,
coupled with the sudden burst of publicity he has received from the
national media, has catapulted him to the front of the pack."

InsiderAdvantage (http://www.insideradvantage.com) is conducting a
running, monthly tracking poll of the 2004 presidential race and has
polled more than 6,000 Americans since early January. The company
is known for its accurate polling of political races in the 2002
elections.
....

It had to happen sooner or later, didn't it? Howard Dean surges to the
top in the national poll. Great news!
