I think what you're seeing is Democratic anti-Bush sentiment. Most of this polling is probably being done among hard-core Dem. activists. Clark's a blank slate, not many of his positions are known so it's easy to be "for" him, just because he's challenging Bush.
As his positions become known, he'll have to do the political calculus. Primaries are about playing to the political bases (or the political extremes in both parties). The general election is usually won by the candidate that can get back to the broad moderate of the American electorate the fastest.
