Americans back Edwardses' choice
Americans by 2-1 support the decision of former North Carolina senator John Edwards to stay in the Democratic presidential race even though his wife, Elizabeth, has been diagnosed with a recurrence of breast cancer. However, a USA TODAY/Gallup Poll finds that 38% of the public is inclined to believe that Edwards eventually will have to withdraw from the campaign because of her illness. Fifty percent believe he will stay in the race.The telephone survey of 1,007 adults was taken Friday through Sunday, just after John and Elizabeth Edwards held a news conference Thursday in Chapel Hill, N.C., to reveal her diagnosis and discuss their decision to stay in the presidential race. The questions about Elizabeth Edwards, asked of half the sample, have a margin of error of +/- 5 percentage points. The error margin for the full sample is +/- 3 percentage points.
