Poll: Kerry Holds Slight Lead Over Dean

SNIP

Kerry had 25 percent support to Dean's 19 percent while the third New Englander in the race, Lieberman, was at 6 percent, a drop from 11 percent in June for the Connecticut senator. Rep. Dick Gephardt (news - web sites) of Missouri was third at 10 percent, according to the poll by American Research Group of Manchester, N.H.

But more undecideds - 30%!

But that's a lot of undecided voters...

With Dean's executive experience and Kerry's experience in Congress, they will make a great team.

unless their "rivalry" is more of a media concoction than a reality. and even if that were the case, the Pugs would trot out that rivalry and say, "lookee, the P and VP nominees don't even like each other!"

I do hope Holy Joe will bow out soon. seems to me like all he's done is drag the rest of them down, and his name recognition is still strong enough that every time something stupid comes out of his mouth, the rest of the Dems are guilty by association (in the eyes of the sheeple, anyway).

The two would be a good team, but it will never happen. "Regional Balance" is always an overiding issue.

Of course, the counter argument to that is that Bush and Cheney were both living in Texas and employed in Texas when they "married up".

Still, I don't think the Democrats will ever put two New Englanders on the same ticket.

I think independents can vote in NH primary too... They should poll dems & independent voters to give more clear image of the race.

In NH independent voters outnumber both Dem and Gop voters:

Independents - 37.5%
Republicans - 36.5&
Democrats - 26%

The Independent votes for McCain annihilated Bush in NH.

who was the vice-presidential nominee. That's pathetic.

And that's why the national polls don't mean a damn thing.

don't like Lieberman, and never have. No one was excited about him as VP, either. That he's from Connecticut means nothing to us-he's just another flatlander. ;-)

The rest of the story reveals that Kerry's former 10 point advantage over Dean is now narrowed to 25 vs. 19 percent, whilst the other candidates are losing points or staying in the tiny single figures. Let's hope this is one more nail in the coffin of Holy Joe's campaign -- it would be great if Dems everywhere signaled, by deserting him, that he is the very opposite of what we want in '04 -- or ever.

I think the news that the undecideds have gone up is a good thing -- voters may have come in with a pre-determined fav, but are now taking a step back to think about it and reassess, see if someone might be a better fit. Democracy at work, one hopes.

nail down the nomination and we can get on with beating Bush. I believe that Dean has been beneficial to the debate and for the party but unfortunately his popularity only reaches as far as the Dem party.

We need Kerry's military experience to bludgeon George aWol Bush and his experience going after Bushes in the BCCI scandal to help him run a take no prisoners campaign.

the damn things change every day :)

Damn pollsters!
