Kerry Regains Lead in Newsweek Poll Following Debate


Oct. 2 (Bloomberg) -- Democratic presidential candidate John F. Kerry regained his lead in a Newsweek Magazine poll over U.S. President George W. Bush following their Sept. 30 debate.

Kerry, a four-term Senator from Massachusetts, and his vice presidential running mate, Senator John Edwards of North Carolina, led Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney 49 percent to 46 percent, if voters were not allowed to consider independent candidate Ralph Nader as an option, Newsweek said in a release.

The poll of 1,013 registered voters has a margin of error of plus or minus 4 percentage points. In a three-way race with Nader, the poll gave the Democratic ticket 47 percent support, compared with Bush-Cheney's 45 percent and Nader's 2 percent. Princeton Survey Research Associates interviewed voters by telephone over the past two days for the poll, the magazine said.
