By more than 15 percent, my readers picked John Edwards as the Democratic candidate who will do the most to fight poverty in America. The result is not really a big surprise since Edwards’ “Two Americas” theme has been one of his strongest messages since the 2004 election. Obama and, surprisingly, Dennis Kucinich tied for second place with 22.4 percent each. Clinton, who continues to face questions on issues like poverty, polled far behind in the pack. Joe Biden, who ran strong in some of my other presidential polls, dropped to only 1.5 percent, suggesting that his recent comments regarding Obama has indeed taken a toll. Neither Chris Dodd nor Wesley Clark received a single vote. Here are the results to this week’s question:
