Dean Grabs Lead in New Hampshire Polls By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Filed at 9:48 p.m. ET WASHINGTON (AP) -- Democratic front-runner Howard Dean has opened a commanding lead over rival John Kerry in New Hampshire, according to two new polls of the party's presidential race. The former Vermont governor was at 42 percent, 30 percentage points ahead of Kerry in a Zogby poll of likely voters in the state's Jan. 27 primary. One in five voters, 19 percent, were undecided. Dean had a similar advantage in an American Research Group poll released Thursday, with the backing of 45 percent. Kerry, the Massachusetts senator, was at 13 percent and Wesley Clark had 11 percent support. Clark, a retired general, has gained ground from 2 percent in September, the month he entered the race. The remaining candidates were in the low single digits. Kerry dropped from 24 percent in early November to 13 percent in the ARG poll. He also has lost ground in the Zogby poll, from 17 percent in October to 12 percent. The race has been growing more lopsided in recent weeks. Dean had a lead of more than 20 points in several recent polls, including a Zogby poll in October. Clark was at 9 percent in the Zogby poll and Connecticut Sen. Joe Lieberman was at 7 percent. North Carolina Sen. John Edwards was at 4 percent, Missouri Rep. Dick Gephardt was at 3 percent and Ohio Rep. Dennis Kucinich was at 2 percent. Others had fewer than 1 percent. The Zogby poll of 503 Democratic and independent voters was conducted Dec. 1-3 and had a margin of error of plus or minus 4.5 percentage points. The ARG poll of 600 likely voters was taken Nov. 30-Dec. 3 and had a margin of error of 4 percentage points.
