New poll shows Kerry leading Bush
New opinion polls show Democratic challenger John Kerry running narrowly ahead of President George Bush just days after the first of their three debates and less than a month before the presidential election on November 2.
A Newsweek magazine poll, the first taken since Thursday night’s televised debate between the candidates, showed Kerry had gained on Bush, increasing his support to 47% of those polled while the president had 45%. Independent candidate Ralph Nader had 2%.
