Readers of DailyKos have voted in another one of their regular polls on the Democratic presidential race. These are the results:

Edwards 39
Obama 21
Clinton 11
Dodd 7
Kucinich 6

Contrast that to the most recent Gallup poll of Democrats and Democratic-leaning independents:

Clinton 47
Obama 25
Edwards 11
Richardson 5
Biden 3

The key part of this seems to be the reversal of positions of Edwards and Clinton in the DailyKos world and the Democratic world. (Obama has pretty much the same level of support among Kossacks as he does among Democrats in general.) The question that raises is whether Clinton really needs to reach out to the netroots beyond what she has already done. Does she need to show up at netroots events? Does she need to tailor her positions to make them happy? Last April, Clinton’s rating was just three percent, and now it’s 11. So her work courting them has paid off a bit, and she is rising, but it seems clear she will never be the first, or maybe even the second, choice of the netroots. With such strong support among other Democrats, does she need them?
