...the results would be as blurry as any other poll of Democratic primary voters (except for the appearance of Congressman Dennis Kucinich bunched alongside Barack Obama, John Edwards and Hillary Clinton in the top four, each hovering a few points above or below 20%). That's only conclusion possible from today's announcement from MoveOn.org Political Action, which sent out an email to its members in response to queries about whether the group would be making an endorsement in the race. Says the group's Adam Ruben, "Over the past year, we've been asking about 30,000 MoveOn members each week, picked at random, to tell us who you favored in the Democratic presidential primary. It wasn't a binding vote, but it helped us get a sense of your thinking." Here are the results:

Ruben comments, "As the graph shows, this is a dynamic process, and members haven't lined up behind any one candidate yet. But with the Iowa caucuses tomorrow, we may see significant shifts as the landscape changes. So we've significantly increased the number of MoveOn members we're surveying each week, and if any candidate's support goes over 50%, we'll launch a more formal endorsement process with a vote."
