Re: undecided and swing voters and Dean.

The latest Zogby poll out yesterday states:

Full results of the New Hampshire Zogby poll referenced in ... New York Times (Aug 27) are now available online. The results, with available June numbers in parenthesis:

Dean 38% (June 22)
Kerry 17 (June 25)
Lieberman 6 (June 10)
Gephardt 6 (June 7)
Edwards 4 (June 2)

John Zogby says of the results:

"This is stunning. Dean's surge seems to be at a heavy cost to Kerry, who led Dean in previous New Hampshire polling. Dean has also taken from Gephardt's standing, and from the undecideds. His support is really across the board … both Congressional districts, men and women, Democrats and independents, liberals and moderates. He's the candidate to watch at the top of the scale, while some of those down the line might re-think their candidacy at this point."

Dean is appealing to many swing voters - independents and Republicans concerned about the deficit and the Patriot Act; he has also brought in voters that were apathetic until finding his campaign.
