Despite the polls, I think that Benjamin isn't hard-core enough to win the Confederate election (and sadly, I'm just not certain that the South of this time is ready to elect a non-christian as their leader, despite his high stature in appointed political positions in OTL confederacy). Fremont isn't likely in the north with his strong abolitionist stance, which will lose him support in the 'border' states.
Just my 2c.
