Trailing by 27 Points in New Hampshire: Howard Dean

The media have given gobs of publicity to polls showing Howard Dean leading his Democrat rivals in crucial New Hampshire by 23 to 32 points. Yet they're strangely quiet about a poll showing him lagging 27 points ... behind President Bush, of course.

The New York Post today noted that American Research Group's "stunning new poll" of registered voters in the Granite State has Bush with 57 percent and Dean, former governor of neighboring Vermont, with 30 percent.

Dean fares even worse than a generic Democrat nominee, who loses to Bush by 51 percent to 34 percent.

"The new poll seems sure to fuel claims by rivals that Dean would be another George McGovern debacle for Democrats in the general election," the Post concluded.
