Description | By Richard Benedetto, USA TODAY
WASHINGTON — In the first national poll since the presidential campaign became a two-person race, Massachusetts Sen. John Kerry leads President Bush, 52%-44%.
Kerry's 8-point lead with likely voters in the USA TODAY/CNN/Gallup Poll comes after he effectively clinched the Democratic nomination on Tuesday and Bush followed with three speeches criticizing Kerry's record in the Senate and charging that the country would be less safe under his leadership.
Ralph Nader, who announced an independent candidacy Feb. 22, got 2%.
Kerry beats or ties Bush when the poll asks who would better handle such domestic concerns as the economy, health care, education and Social Security. Bush leads on foreign affairs and national security. |
