Clark still near bottom

The 5th straw poll has seen Clark slip further going from 6-2-7 to 6-0-9. As I said previously I don’t see any credible path to victory.

The net support for each candidate in the 5th straw poll was:

  1. Guterres +10 (12-2)
  2. Jeremic +2 (8-6)
  3. Lajcak +1 (8-7)
  4. Malcorra 0 (7-7)
  5. Turk 0 (7-7)
  6. Bokova -1 (6-7)
  7. Kerim -3 (6-9)
  8. Clark -3 (6-9)
  9. Gherman -8 (3-11)

So only one candidate is below Clark.

Clark’s score’s each round has been

  1. +3 (8-5)
  2. -2 (6-8)
  3. -2 (6-8)
  4. -1 (6-7)
  5. -3 (6-9)

This suggests that the neutrals have now decided her candidacy is untenable and are giving her the signal to exit.
