Poll: of Democrats, Only Kerry Tops Bush 11 minutes ago WASHINGTON - Among the three top Democratic candidates still in the November race, only front-runner John Kerry (news - web sites) leads in a head-to-head matchup with President Bush (news - web sites), says a poll released Monday. In the CBS News poll, Kerry had a lead of 48 percent to 43 percent over Bush. The president led John Edwards (news - web sites), 50-41 percent, and Howard Dean (news - web sites), 54-37 percent, in other matchups. Kerry, a Massachusetts senator, is the Democratic front-runner and has a big lead over the other candidates among Democrats and independents who say they're likely to vote in a primary. Kerry was at 53 percent, while Dean, a former Vermont governor, was at 8 percent. Edwards, a senator from North Carolina, was at 7 percent, activist Al Sharpton (news - web sites) at 4 percent and Ohio Rep. Dennis Kucinich (news - web sites) at 1 percent. The CBS poll found Bush's support weak — below 50 percent — in several areas, including the economy, Iraq (news - web sites) and foreign policy, although he remains strong on handling terrorism with 64 percent approving. His overall job approval in the CBS poll was 50 percent. Bush recently described himself as "a war president." But more of those polled said he has that title because of the choices he makes, 51 percent, rather than because world events forced him into that role, 40 percent. The poll of 1,221 adults, including 1,046 registered voters, was conducted Feb. 12-15 and has a margin of sampling error of plus or minus 3 percentage points.
