WASHINGTON, Nov. 6 (UPI) -- Former Vermont Gov. Howard Dean's lead over his competitors for the 2004 Democrat presidential nomination has expanded, a new Zogby poll indicates.
In the latest survey Dean has moved ahead of retired U.S. Army Gen. Wesley Clark, with whom he was tied in September. According to Zogby, Dean now the support of 15 percent of the 558 Democrats surveyed nationwide who are likely to participate in the nominating process.
Support for Clark has slipped slightly to 10 percent, Zogby says.
Rep. Dick Gephardt, D-Mo., and Sen. Joseph Lieberman, D-Conn., are tied for third at 9 percent, a slight uptick from September.
Sen. John F. Kerry, D-Mass., who was once considered the front-runner follows in fifth place at 7 percent.
Rounding out the field are civil rights activist the Rev. Al Sharpton at 4 percent, Sen. John Edwards, D-N.C., at 3 percent, and Rep. Dennis Kucinich, D-Ohio, and former Sen. Carol Mosley Braun, D-Ill., tied at 2 percent each.
Zogby's data indicate one out of three Democrats who will vote in the primary -- 34 percent -- remain undecided on a candidate. That figure is down from 43 percent in September.
The margin of error in the survey is 4.2 percent.
