Kucinich, the strongest antiwar candidate for president, has won in
three nationwide polls, yet he is excluded from debates
and excluded from fair coverage in newspapers.

Democratic base gives Kucinich third major win in nationwide poll
WA****INGTON, D.C. -- Democratic Presidential candidate Dennis
Kucinich
has won another major poll among grassroots Party activists most likely to
vote in caucuses and primaries, capturing 41% of the vote from Progressive
Democrats of America (PDA), which has more than 80,000 members across the
nation.
In the field of eight candidates, the Ohio Congressman was the
overwhelming winner, easily out-pacing second-place finisher former
Senator
John Edwards, who received 26% of the vote. Senator Barack Obama came in
third with 13%, followed by Senator Hillary Clinton with 9%, and New
Mexico
Governor Bill Richardson with 5%. The other Democratic candidates were in
the low single digits. Kucinich was also the top vote-getter among PDA
members in the early-voting states of Iowa and New Hamp****re.
It is the third exceptionally strong finish by Kucinich in polls
among active, grassroots Democrats. Last month, he topped all other
candidates in 47 of 50 states in a poll sponsored by Democracy for America
(DFA). Also, a poll conducted by the progressive The Nation magazine
showed
Kucinich with 35% of the vote, Obama second with 24% and Edwards third
with
13%.
In last month's DFA poll, Kucinich received almost 32% of the
150,000-plus votes cast, more than Edwards and Obama combined. There, too,
he won both Iowa and New Hamp****re.
In announcing today's results, PDA said, "The Congressman's showing
indicates that Progressive Democrats are still in sync with the Kucinich
agenda: Out of Iraq; no attack on Iran, single-payer healthcare, fair
trade,
etc." The poll was open only to PDA members, and the organization said it
added "extra layers of security" to protect the integrity of the survey.
In an analysis of the recent polls in The Nation today, Wa****ngton
correspondent John Nichols wrote that Kucinich's "pointed opposition to
the
war in Iraq and outspoken advocacy of impeachment of Vice President Cheney
has echoed the sentiments of the Democratic base" and "party activists who
do the heavy lifting."
Nichols also noted, "The DFA and PDA poll results give Kucinich an
additional measure of credibility as he reaches out to key activists,
including Democrats who are currently leaning toward other contenders..."
Kucinich's national and state-by-state poll numbers have risen
noticeably in the past several weeks. Not only is he the only Democratic
candidate who voted against the Iraq war authorization in 2002 and every
supplemental funding measure since, he also is the only Democratic
candidate
who voted against the Patriot Act. And, his early opposition to hostile
moves by the Administration towards Iran was validated earlier this week
when the National Intelligence Estimate revealed that Iran had abandoned
its
nuclear weapons program four years ago.
Kucinich, sponsor of a resolution calling for impeachment
proceedings
against Cheney, has called for a Congressional investigation of the
handling
of the NIE findings by the Administration. He said that such an
investigation "will further build the case for the impeachment of both the
President and the Vice President."
