Description"A new survey of Democratic voters in three states with key early contests in the presidential race finds the party united in hostility toward President Bush but divided on how aggressively its eventual nominee should challenge his policies on taxes and Iraq.

The poll found former Vermont Gov. Howard Dean maintaining a strong lead in New Hampshire. But its numbers suggested that in Iowa, Rep. Richard A. Gephardt of Missouri may have regained the initiative from Dean. In South Carolina, six candidates were bunched closely together in the poll, conducted by a Democratic advocacy group called Democracy Corps.

The survey also found that the Democratic electorate in these critical states differs on the same issues that have separated the candidates, such as whether to seek repeal of all or part of Bush's tax cuts."
