Brownstoner Democratic Primary Results

Well, it looks like Barack Obama is more popular in Brownstone Brooklyn than in New Hampshire. Of the 393 readers who voted Democratic in our online poll yesterday, 51% opted for the senator from Illinois. Hillary Clinton came in second with 29% and Edwards a distant third with 15% (there’s something the two areas agreed on). The other most interesting number: 28% of respondents said that they would support Mayor Bloomberg instead if he were to decide to run. Only 7% of respondents reported being Republican. Surprised?

Update: We’ve added a lot more detail on the jump.
