Good! I still don't understand why Democrats didn't return their tax cuts.

CONCORD, N.H. (AP) - Howard Dean retains a solid lead over John Kerry, double his margin of just two months ago, and Wesley Clark is the only other Democratic presidential candidate with double-digit support in a poll out Saturday. The poll shows, however, that President Bush easily would beat any of them in an election held now. New Hampshire's first-in-the-nation primary is Jan. 27. "Voters statewide in New Hampshire just have not fallen in love with any of the Democrats, particularly their so-called favorite sons, Kerry and Dean," said pollster Del Ali, whose firm conducted the poll for the Concord Monitor newspaper. Head to head with Bush, the poll of 600 likely voters gave the president a 25-percentage point lead over Dean, 57-32 percent; 15 points over Kerry, 55-40 percent, and Joe Lieberman 54-39 percent; and 19 points over Clark, 56-37 percent, and Dick Gephardt, 55-36 percent. The margin of error was plus or minus 5 percentage points. Dean, a former Vermont governor, boasted a 24-percentage point lead over Massachusetts Sen. Kerry, 41 percent to 17 percent. Retired Army Gen. Clark showed up third, with 13 percent, followed by Sens. Lieberman of Connecticut and John Edwards of North Carolina at 6 percent; and Reps. Gephardt of Missouri at 4 percent and Dennis Kucinich of Ohio at 1 percent. Al Sharpton and Carol Moseley Braun attracted less than one percent. Twelve percent of the 402 Democrats questioned said they were undecided. The margin of error was plus or minus 5 percentage points. Similar polls for the Monitor show Dean steadily building support since March, from 11 percent in March to this month's 41 percent. Kerry steadily dropped, from 38 percent in March to this month's 17 percent this month. Kerry trailed by 12 percentage points in October, half the latest margin. washingtonpost.com
