Dr. Rost is increasing lead in vote for FDA Commissioner . . .



I'm honored and greatful that my lead appears to have increased from around 24.2% to 28.6% in the online poll for who President Obama should choose as new FDA Commissioner.

What is even more noteworthy is the following message from John Mack, who is administering this survey:

"How's this for a surprise: When I look at US pharma respondents to my survey, you are the #1 choice: 21.7% of US pharma respondents voted for you compared to 17.4% who voted for Susan Wood, Robert Califf, and DAVID KESSLER (all tied for 2nd place)."

So even pharma employees hope for change at the FDA . . . and are voting for my candidacy.

If you haven't voted yet, go to Pharma Marketing and vote for your favorite candidate!

Peter:

Even more surprising is this:

When I look at respondents who say they are very or somewhat supportive of the drug industry, you share the lead with Steve Nissen (16.7% of the vote). But Steve Nissen beats you among respondents who are VERY supportive of the industry: 22,2% vs. 15.6%, respectively. Janet Woodcock also gets 15.6% of this group's votes.

Among respondents that claim to be unsupportive of the industry, you are -- of -- course king: 61.5% of these people voted for you!
