CINCINNATI, Ohio (Reuters) - The presidential contest in the key battleground state of Ohio is a toss-up, with likely Democratic nominee John Kerry (news - web sites) holding a slim edge over President Bush (news - web sites) in a poll released on Friday.

Massachusetts Sen. Kerry was supported by 46 percent of 632 registered voters surveyed for the Ohio Poll and Bush got the support of 44 percent, a gap that was within the survey's margin of error.

Independent candidate Ralph Nader (news - web sites) got the backing of 5 percent, while 4 percent were undecided in the telephone poll conducted between March 10 and March 22 by the Institute of Policy Research at the University of Cincinnati.

The poll's margin of error was 3.9 percent.

Ohio, with 20 electoral votes, is considered vital in the outcome of the November election, with Bush paying several recent visits to try to boost his standing in a state that has suffered widespread manufacturing job losses. The state has also been an election bellwether, favoring the winner in the past 10 presidential elections dating to 1964.

Bush captured Ohio by a nearly 4 percent margin over Democrat Al Gore (news - web sites) in 2000
