Kucinich - The runaway leader on the issues?

Survey of Public Attitudes Makes Kucinich the Runaway Leader on the
Issues

Cleveland -- In the political equivalent of a "blind taste test" taken
by more than 67,000 participants, an independent website surveying
public attitudes on various issues is reporting that Ohio Congressman
and Democratic Presidential candidate Dennis Kucinich is the first
choice of a phenomenal 53% of respondents.

No other candidate, Democrat or Republican, even reaches double digits.

The website (http://www.dehp.net/candidate/) has been asking
respondents to express and rank their opinions on 25 different issues
-- the war in Iraq, health care, the environment, Patriot Act, etc. --
that have been raised and debated among the Presidential candidates in
both parties. Those surveyed vote only on the issues, not for or
against any individual candidate. The 67,000-plus responses were then
correlated with the positions of all of the candidates as reported on
http://www.2decide.com. The results are here:
http://www.dehp.net/candidate/stats.php.

As of this morning (the survey is recalculated every five minutes), more
than 35,600 respondents were "in sync" with Kucinich on the issues.
Democratic front-runner Senator Hillary Clinton was the first-place
choice of only about 2,400 respondents (3.6%). Other leading candidates
fared even worse: Senator Barack Obama (3%), and former Senator John
Edwards (1.3%).

"When people vote exclusively on the issues that are important to them,
without being influenced by name recognition, celebrity, or millions of
dollars in advertising, Congressman Kucinich wins in a landslide," his
campaign said today.
