Crunching Richardson's latest numbers.
22.
The approximate number of registered Democrats (or approximately 3 percent of the 717 people polled) who said they would vote for Bill Richardson to be the Democratic candidate for president, according to a recent poll by Quinnipiac University. The mark is a 1 percent gain for Richardson from the June version (which included Al Gore) but the same percentage the governor earned in the poll in May.
7.
The percentage of 600 likely Democratic primary and caucus voters who said Richardson was their preferred presidential nominee, according to a recent poll by the American Research Group (ARG). The number represents the highest percentage of voters who favor Richardson in any national poll conducted in August and is a 4 percent increase for Richardson from ARG's July poll.
5.
Percentage of independent and registered Democrats who said they would most likely support Richardson for the Democratic nomination, according to a recent CNN/Opinion Research Corporation Poll. Richardson's percentage didn't change when Al Gore was excluded from the equation (the top four candidates' numbers increased when Gore was excluded).
1.
Percentage of more than 1,000 voters who lean Democratic who said that Richardson was their choice for the Democratic presidential nomination, according to a Newsweek Poll conducted earlier this month. Richardson's 1 percent poll showing put him in a tie for sixth place (behind Clinton, Obama, Edwards, Biden and Dennis Kucinich) with Chris Dodd and Mike Gravel.
3.
Percentage of likely Democratic primary voters in California who prefer Richardson for the presidential nomination, according to the latest California Field Poll. The mark, a 1 percent drop for the governor since March, puts him in a tie with Biden for fourth place in the state.
13.
Percentage of likely Democratic voters in Iowa who favor Richardson for the nomination, according to two recent polls (one by ARG and one by Peter Hart Research Associates), the highest percentage favoring the governor out of any recent polls in the four early primary/caucus states.
