Scroll down and take a look at these poll results we got this week. In this poll, Bill Richardson scored better than any other candidate -- Democratic or Republican!
These numbers suggest that if Bill is nominated, he's the most likely candidate to beat any Republican opponent -- Giuliani, Romney, Thompson, or any of the rest of them.
That's the good news. Now here's the bad news.
This poll suggests that the other leading Democratic contenders would have a much tougher time in the general election. Nominating one of them could be the best way to ensure we get another Republican in the White House!
That's why we have to keep working every day and every night between now and the primaries to keep Bill's numbers moving up. Please help today, with your gift of $40 or even $80.

If we nominate a Democrat who can't beat the Republican nominee, we could be in for eight more years of this -- eight more years in Iraq, eight more years of soaring deficts and corporate giveaways and eroding civil rights, eight more years of inaction on health care and global warming.
Don't let it happen!
With your support, we can buy air time in Iowa and New Hampshire, and make a strong showing in those early states. One good finish could give us the momentum we need to run strong all spring and summer -- and win.

Forward this message to your friends -- they all need to know how high the stakes are. It's time to end the Bush era for good.

P.S. Bill Richardson needs your vote in the Democracy for America Presidential Pulse Poll. If we win that poll, we'll get the group's endorsement!

Dave,
Did you see this poll? The percentages in the table below are the candidates' negative ratings. Bill is polling more strongly than any other candidate, including the Republicans! Shouldn't we pass this along?

Zogby Poll: Half Say They Would Never Vote for Hillary Clinton for President
Other top tier candidates in both parties win more acceptance; Richardson & Huckabee favored most.
While she is winning wide support in nationwide samples among Democrats in the race for their party's presidential nomination, half of likely voters nationwide said they would never vote for New York Sen. Hillary Clinton, a new Zogby Interactive poll shows.
The online survey of 9,718 likely voters nationwide showed that 50% said Clinton would never get their presidential vote. This is up from 46% who said they could never vote for Clinton in a Zogby International telephone survey conducted in early March. Older voters are most resistant to Clinton -- 59% of those age 65 and older said they would never vote for the New York senator, but she is much more acceptable to younger voters: 42% of those age 18-29 said they would never vote for Clinton for President.
Whom would you NEVER vote for for President of the U.S.? %
Clinton (D) 50%
Kucinich (D) 49%
Gravel (D) 47%
Paul (D) 47%
Brownback (R) 47%
Tancredo (R) 46%
McCain (R) 45%
Hunter (R) 44%
Giuliani (R) 43%
Romney (R) 42%
Edwards (D) 42%
Thompson (R) 41%
Dodd (D) 41%
Biden (D) 40%
Obama (D) 37%
Huckabee (R) 35%
Richardson (D) 34%
Not sure 4%
At the other end of the scale, Republican Mike Huckabee and Democrats Bill Richardson and Barack Obama faired best, as they were least objectionable to likely voters. Richardson was forever objectionable as President to 34%, while 35% said they could never vote for Huckabee and 37% said they would never cast a presidential ballot for Obama, the survey showed.
The Zogby Interactive poll, conducted Oct. 11-15, 2007, included 9,718 likely voters nationwide and carries a margin of error of /- 1.0 percentage point.
