Jack, Kerry got a very well rounded support from all groups of voters such as labor, elderly, youth and what have you. Having such a general support is a very good sign for a candidate.

Thursday's primary debate St. Anselm to host debate tomorrow GOFFSTOWN — Just a few weeks ago, it wasn’t clear just how important tomorrow night’s debate at St. Anselm College might be.

WMUR will broadcast the entire debate live, while Fox News Channel will show the first 90 minutes. ABC’s “Nightline” has scheduled a one-hour special on the debate beginning at 11:35 p.m. The event will be held in the Dana Center, which was the site of Democratic debates in 1984 and 1992. No tickets are available. The moderator at the start of the debate will be Fox’s Brit Hume, with ABC’s Peter Jennings taking over later. Channel 9’s Tom Griffith and John DiStaso of The Union Leader will also ask questions.

Poll: Kerry Sails Past Dean for New Hampshire Lead Thu January 22, 2004 07:01 AM ET By John Whitesides, Political Correspondent MANCHESTER, N.H. (Reuters) - Democrat John Kerry, riding a wave of momentum from his Iowa caucus victory, grabbed a three-point lead over Howard Dean in New Hampshire five days before the state's presidential primary, according to a Reuters/MSNBC/Zogby poll released on Thursday. Kerry, a Massachusetts senator whose come-from-behind win in Iowa reshaped the Democratic presidential race, led Dean 27 percent to 24 percent in the latest three-day tracking poll, which began the day of Iowa's caucuses. Kerry stretched his lead over Dean, who limped to a distant third-place finish in Iowa, to 11 points in the most recent day of polling on Wednesday. "Kerry not only jumps into the lead, but today his lead was commanding," pollster John Zogby said. "Remember, we still have one-third of the sample taken before the Iowa caucus." A tracking poll combines the results of three consecutive nights of polling, then drops the first night's results each time a new night is added. It allows pollsters to record shifts in voter sentiment as they happen. The poll found voters were still changing their minds about Tuesday's primary in New Hampshire, with Kerry gaining four percentage points and Dean dropping one percentage point. Retired Gen. Wesley Clark, in third place, continued to slip slightly each day, dropping one percentage point to 15 percent. North Carolina Sen. John Edwards, fresh from his surprise second place finish in Iowa, held fourth place with 8 percent, a gain of one point. Connecticut Sen. Joseph Lieberman was at 7 percent, down one point. Zogby said Edwards did not seem to have gotten a big bounce from Iowa yet, although "it normally takes two full days before we see a major impact from any event." A total of 17 percent of New Hampshire voters are still undecided about the primary, up one percentage point. Zogby said Dean's fevered, arm-pumping speech after the caucuses on Monday "had no negative impact on young voters at all in New Hampshire," although Kerry had moved even with or ahead of Dean among most other voter categories. The switch at the top represents a dramatic turnaround for both Kerry and Dean. The former Vermont governor soared to a more than 20-point lead in New Hampshire polls late last year, but Kerry roared back in Iowa's final two weeks as voters began to re-evaluate which Democrat was best suited to challenge President Bush in November. The poll of 601 likely primary voters was taken Monday through Wednesday and has a margin of error of 4.1 percentage points. It will continue through Tuesday, the day of the New Hampshire primary. Ohio Rep. Dennis Kucinich received 1 percent in the poll, with civil rights activist Al Sharpton getting less than 1 percent. reuters.com
