All the usual caveats about Zogby apply, but I still thought this was kind of interesting:
national poll, taken in the days following announcement of E. Edwards' cancer:
http://www.zogby.com/news/ReadNews.dbm?ID=1267Dems:
Clinton 32
Obama 22
Edwards 13
everyone else at 2 or less
This is not significantly different from what other polls have shown, pre-cancer.
GOP:
Giuliani 27
McCain 13
F. Thompson 9
Romney 9
everyone else at 3 or less
With the exception of Fred Thompson, the poll only includes candidates who have either declared their candidacy or set up exploratory committees. So no Gore, Gingrich, or Hagel. I think this may be an all time low for McCain in a national poll. Also, correct me if I'm wrong, but is this the first national primary poll to include Thompson? While I'm kind of bullish about how well he could do if he were to run, I didn't expect him to do this well this early on, as I didn't think his name recognition was that high. This also comes a few days after that ARG poll that showed Thompson in third place in Iowa.
