Poll: Lieberman slips to 2 in New York Poll

The latest Marist poll had Dean favored by 18 percent of New York Democrats in the race for the party's presidential nomination. Lieberman, the party's vice presidential candidate in 2000, was at 16 percent. They were followed by former Gen. Wesley Clark at 14 percent and Rep. Richard Gephardt at 10 percent. The other Democratic contenders were all in single digits.

Just last month, pollsters from the Marist College institute in Poughkeepsie had Lieberman leading the pack at 23 percent with Dean next at 13 percent.

A statewide poll of New York Democrats conducted late last month by the Quinnipiac University Polling Institute had Clark at 18 percent, Dean at 17 percent and Lieberman at 13 percent.
