In October, polls by the Burlington Free Press, the Becker Institute and the Mason-Dixon poll gave Dean anywhere from 64 to 75 percent of the vote.
According to exit polls Tuesday, Dean remained popular even among voters who said their family finances had gotten worse in the last four years. Fifty-eight percent of those voters chose Dean. Three-quarters of independents voted for Dean, as did three in 10 of conservative voters and 60 percent of moderates.
Dean has won high approval ratings since he took office in 1991 -- his 1994 opponent, Republican David Kelly, won only 19 percent of the vote.

Dean was a very popular governor, he took heavy hits (temporary) for signing a civil union bill put on his desk - signed it because he felt it was wrong to discriminate against a minority.
He would of made a great president.
