Latest CNN Poll

A CNN poll published September 7 shows that Al Gore is running a strong second to Hillary in presidential nominee preference among poll participants identifying themselves as Democrats. Hillary is the choice of 36% while Gore pulls 20%. Nobody else got more than 11%. Bear in mind that everyone knows that Hillary is going to run, but Gore managed to get 20% while repeatedly stating that he has no current plans to throw his hat in the ring. What if he announced that he's changed his mind? Perhaps more importantly, 41% of these Democrats answered that they would only vote for a candidate who had opposed the Iraq war at its inception in 2003. How is Hillary going to win a national election without being able to count on that 40% of Democratic voters?
