 | Tracking the 2008 Democrats: Statistics for 7-1 to 7-7 2007 |
Since November of 2004, we have been tracking the number of bumper stickers, magnets, campaign buttons and shirts that we sell in support for each of the Democratic candidates in the 2008 presidential race. While polls measure opinions of the moment, our measure tracks a more strong and lasting and lasting commitment to show their support for a particular candidate in a public way. That kind of strong commitment turns into donations, and later turns into votes. The following is the percent share of sales of our Election 2008 gear in the past week of July 1-7 2007 for each candidate who garnered at least a 1% share of sales:
Al Gore: 32.4%
Barack Obama: 25.3%
Hillary Clinton: 17.8%
Bill Richardson: 5.9%
John Edwards: 5.8%
Dennis Kucinich: 3.7%
Mike Gravel: 2.9%
Joseph Biden: 2.5%
Christopher Dodd: 1.2%
Will Al Gore’s Live Earth concerts stretch his lead in committed support, or does this past week represent the peak of the campaign to draft him? Look for an answer next next week.
