...poll commissioned by WEEIAM, WCVB-TV and The Boston Globe had error margins of plus or minus 9 percent regarding the Democrats and Republicans most likely to attend the caucuses and of plus or minus 5 percent for the overall Democrat and Republicans samples...
...manufacturer of windows and patio doors, has split a chunk of its earnings among workers. After a banner 1987, this year's pot promised to be huge. But the 3,700 employees, many of whom rented limousines and dressed in their finest Saturday-night steppin'-out clothes to attend the Jan. 16 ceremony, had no idea just how huge. Amid gasps of surprise, Andersen Chairman Arvid Wellman disclosed that the profit-sharing pool was a record $105.9 million, up more than 45% from last year.

However, when the sample is narrowed further to 213 Democrats who have attended a caucus in the past, Simon rises to the top. He is the favorite of 26% in this group, with Hart second (18%), Dukakis third (17%) and Richard Gephardt fourth (14%). So the Democrats, even more than the Republicans, will be puzzling the question of which partisans in this independent-minded state might actually turn out on caucus night...
