Angus Reid Global Monitor : Polls & ResearchDemocrats 2008: Hillary 22%, Obama 21%
(Angus Reid Global Monitor) - Hillary Rodham Clinton and Barack Obama are the preferred presidential contenders for Democratic Party supporters in the United States, according to a poll by Rasmussen Reports. 22 per cent of respondents would support the New York senator in a 2008 primary, and 21 per cent would vote for the Illinois senator.
Former North Carolina senator John Edwards is third with 15 per cent, followed by former U.S. vice-president Al Gore with seven per cent, Massachusetts senator and 2004 presidential nominee John Kerry with four per cent, and Delaware senator Joseph Biden also with four per cent.
On Jan. 16, Obama officially launched his candidacy, declaring, "I certainly didn’t expect to find myself in this position a year ago. I’ve been struck by how hungry we all are for a different kind of politics. (...) Politics has become so bitter and partisan, so gummed up by money and influence, that we can’t tackle the big problems that demand solutions."
In American elections, candidates require 270 votes in the Electoral College to win the White House. In November 2004, Republican George W. Bush earned a second term after securing 286 electoral votes from 31 states. Kerry received 252 electoral votes from 19 states and the District of Columbia.
Bush is ineligible for a third term in office. The next presidential election is scheduled for November 2008.
