June Straw Poll Results

MyDD June Reader Straw Poll (6/13, 1,775 votes)
First-choice trend
Looks like a pretty sharp drop for Edwards this month, as Obama leads the straw poll for the first time since March. Outside of Edwards and the Fox News trio (Biden, Kucinich, and Gravel), every other candidate, including "other" and "unsure," saw slight rises. To a certain extent, this mirrors the national situation, where Edwards has been somewhat struggling in the polls lately. More info on past straw poll results can be found here and here.
Reconstructing these results was a real challenge given the huge amount of stuffing. As always, I did my best to present the most accurate results possible. You can read my methodology on how I try to clean the data up here. Also, you can see the master data by clicking here, and using "mk4jcdo0" as a password. The final, "cleaned up" data I used to calculate these results can be found here.
