| Description | Democratic primary voters in Missouri have given the early lead to John Kerry and are confident their party's nominee can defeat President Bush in November, a new poll shows.
Kerry, who was preparing to make his first visit to Missouri today fresh off his win in New Hampshire, had 25 percent support of those who said they would vote in Tuesday's primary, the survey by The Kansas City Star and KMBC, Channel 9 showed. No rival was in double digits.
He's been in the service and in the Senate for such a long time, I just have a feeling that he can beat Bush a lot easier than Governor (Howard) Dean could, said Milberta Parish, a retired Independence office clerk.
The poll also showed that 60 percent of survey respondents said the Democratic candidate for president could defeat Bush in November, compared with 32 percent who said that would not happen.
I think the American people have seen really how this guy is, John Young, 39, a St. Louis pipefitter, said about Bush. He's proven to the people that he's not really presidential material.
The contender who came closest to Kerry was Sen. John Edwards of North Carolina with 9 percent. Third place was held by Dean, the former Vermont governor, who had 6 percent. He was followed by retired Gen. Wesley Clark of Arkansas, with 3 percent, and Sen. Joseph Lieberman of Connecticut with 2 percent.
Rep. Dennis Kucinich of Ohio and the Rev. Al Sharpton of New York recorded 1 percent each. Undecided voters accounted for 35 percent of those surveyed, meaning that the race remained up for grabs. |
