Well, in early returns from what will probably be one of the few surveys taken on Vermonter’s presidential primary voting preferences, Obama is clearly the favorite…

The survey is done at Vermont Town Meetings across the state by State Senator Bill Doyle.

With about half of the surveys in (~5,000)…

Illinois senator Barrack Obama led New York senator Hillary Clinton by a margin of 46 to 33 % for the Democratic nomination:

(Doyle) “Vermonters have taken to Obama, there’s not even any question about it. That’s a pretty strong lead with all the name recognition that Hillary Clinton has and the fact that Obama’s a newcomer.”

On the Republican side, former New York City mayor Rudy Giuliani edged out Arizona senator John McCain 43% to 39%.
