Early leader
"A new poll from ... 7News and Suffolk University shows Massachusetts Sen. John Kerry with a 15-point lead over his closest rival in the [New Hampshire] Democratic presidential primary," United Press International reports in its Capital Comment column.
"The survey of 496 voters likely to participate in the primary — including a heavy bloc of self-identified independents — has Kerry leading among men, women, Democrats and independents," the wire service said.
"In second place among all voters is Connecticut Sen. Joseph Lieberman, the party's 2000 vice presidential nominee, at 17 percent among all voters. Former Vermont Gov. Howard Dean, who has a surprisingly low 63 percent name identification given the proximity of his state to New Hampshire, is in third place at 10 percent.
"If the survey is correctly measuring the trend, then it likely set off alarm bells inside the campaign of former House Minority Leader Dick Gephardt, Missouri Democrat, who finished fourth with 6 percent of the vote. The low number itself is not cause for concern but, when measured against Gephardt's 90 percent name-identification measure among the participants, it could spell trouble for the veteran candidate."
