Would Al Gore Make a Difference?

As of today, Al Gore has not expressed any intention to run in the 2008 Democratic Presidential Primary. Without him in the race, voter support does not change significantly.

According to a New Hampshire Primary Political Poll, conducted by WBZ TV and Franklin Pierce University, Hillary Clinton would extend her lead three points, receiving 39 percent of the vote. Obama would come in a distant second, with 19 percent of the vote, followed by John Edwards (12%) and Bill Richardson (11%).

The race is tighter on the Republican side, in the first WBZ poll since former Tennessee Senator Fred Thompson officially entered the race. Thompson has fallen 1 percent, since a June pole that was conducted by Franklin Pierce, as has John McCain's favorability rating. Mitt Romney has a strong lead on Republicans. Romney still leads former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani, 30-to-23 percent. Romney held a 9-point lead in the last survey back in June
