2000 US Presidential Campaign

• May, 1999: An early poll of presidential preferences suggested that Donald Trump could possibly beat Al Gore. “Gov. Jesse Ventura's stunning upset in Minnesota could be just the beginning. U.S. voters prefer celebrities to the current crop of presidential candidates, according to veteran Democratic pollster Rob Schroth. Donald Trump, Clint Eastwood and Oprah Winfrey slightly trail Texas Gov. George W. Bush, but beat Vice President Al Gore.” (Philadelphia Inquirer, May 3, 1999)
