Howard Dean 17
Wesley Clark 16
Joe Lieberman 16
John Kerry 11
Richard Gephardt 8
John Edwards 4
Al Sharpton 3
Bob Graham 2
Dennis Kucinich 2
Carol Moseley Braun 1
None (vol.) 4
Other (vol.) 1
Not sure 14

Of course, Clark, Dean, and Lieberman are all within margin of error.

An interesting point I heard yesterday on NPR's "All Things Considered" is that Clark's standing in these polls vary greatly depending on whether the pollster puts "General" in front of his name.

I wonder if Howard Dean would get a similar bump in the polls if the pollsters referred to him with "Governor" before his name and "M.D." after.
