Kerry Cuts Into Dean's Lead in N.H. Poll By Associated Press BOSTON — While Howard Dean maintains a double-digit lead, albeit smaller, over John Kerry in the latest New Hampshire poll, likely Democratic primary voters are closely divided over which of the two leading candidates would be the strongest against President Bush. Dean, the former Vermont governor, had 38 percent support to Kerry's 26 percent in the poll by The Boston Globe/WBZ-TV released Sunday. A Zogby International survey last month showed Dean ahead of the Massachusetts senator by 21 points. The poll found that 28 percent said Dean was the strongest candidate to face Bush in November 2004, while 26 percent cited Kerry. Seventeen percent were unsure. In one of the more telling numbers, Dean had more appeal among those who voted for Republican Sen. John McCain of Arizona in the 2000 New Hampshire GOP primary. More than half of McCain supporters -- 54 percent -- said they backed Dean and 15 percent supported Kerry. McCain beat George W. Bush in that primary, largely on his appeal to independent voters. The Globe's poll of 400 likely primary voters, all Democrats or independents, was conducted Sept. 2-3 as Kerry was officially announcing his candidacy. KRC/Communications Research of Newton, Mass., handled the poll. Rep. Dick Gephardt of Missouri and Sen. Joe Lieberman of Connecticut each had 7 percent, while Sen. John Edwards of North Carolina had 6 percent and Rep. Dennis Kucinich of Ohio had 2 percent. Twelve percent were undecided. latimes.com
