WASHINGTON - Both John Kerry and John are ahead of President Bush by double digits when matched against him in hypothetical elections, says a poll released Wednesday.

Kerry, the Democratic front-runner and a Massachusetts senator, leads Bush by 55 percent to 43 percent among likely voters, according to the CNN-USA Today-Gallup poll. Edwards, the North Carolina senator who is challenging Kerry, leads Bush by 54 percent to 44 percent.

The poll comes at a time that both Kerry and Edwards have been highly visible as they compete for the Democratic presidential nomination. Bush has been defending himself on his National Guard service and his Iraq (news - web sites) policy after an adviser acknowledged he doesn't believe weapons of mass destruction existed.

Get back to us when the REAL politickin begins!

Polls now mean nothing.

Wow, we have a new forum. Why wasn't I informed? :mad:

I've heard all about this CNN/Gallup/MSNBC poll since yesterday....it's trotted out during every news break on the radio. But they are'nt mentioning the latest Zogby poll, which shows Bush leading the likely democrat candidate, (Kerry), by 12 points in all the states Bush won in 2000. It also shows Bush in a statistical dead heat in all the states Gore won in 2000.

The CNN poll is stupid, pointless, relies on a popular count, (which is'nt how presidents are elected in this country), and is way too eary to be meaningful.

Give it a few months.

Dngr-

Good point. So, the CNN poll is showing popular support to the dems, but not the dem winning the presidency.

But, like ColWTH said, the polls now are essentially menaingless, lets get into September...
