Presidential Primary Poll: April 2007

The results so far are below. You must login to vote.

The 1st Quarter fundraising results are in, and Obama's results are amazing given that Hillary and Bill Clinton have built their national fundraising network over 20 years, while Obama built his overnight. And while Clinton slightly outraised Obama in dollars, Obama had twice as many donors. But John Edwards also did extremely well - all three candidates broke the previous Democratic record.

 Q1NetDonors
Clinton$26M$4.2M 50,000
Obama$25M$6.9M100,000
Edwards$14M$3.3M 40,000
Richardson $6M  
Dodd $4M  
Biden $3M  

But money doesn't elect Presidents, voters elect Presidents. So looking at announced candidates only (sorry Gore fans!), who do you want to be the Democratic nominee in 2008?

This is an Instant Runoff Vote (explained here), so rank you choices in order. If no candidate gets a majority in the first round, the losing candidate's votes are re-allocated to their second-place choices, and so on until someone gets a majority and a winner is declared.

The table below shows you the number of first place votes for each candidate in each round until one candidate emerged with a majority in the Final round.

  1. John Edwards (66.6%)
  2. Dennis Kucinich
  3. Barack Obama
  4. Hillary Clinton
  5. Bill Richardson
  6. Joe Biden
  7. Mike Gravel
  8. Chris Dodd
Total votes: 885
