Kerry Canât win in the South!
A new poll indicates Senator John Kerry is ahead of President Bush by six percentage points in Florida voters, with most voters questioning the presidentâs handling of the economy and the war in Iraq. The poll for The Miami Herald and the St. Petersburg Times says 49 percent of the 800 registered Florida voters surveyed would choose Kerry. It says 43 percent would pick Bush, while only five percent are undecided. The results point to displeasure with key Bush policies. Fifty-three percent of voters disapprove of Bushâs economic policies and only 46 percent approve of his handling of the war in Iraq. The survey also indicated voters trusted Kerry more than Bush to protect Social Security and Medicare benefits. The two candidates are tied nationally. Both are keeping a close eye on Florida, where the 2000 election was decided by 537 votes and 27 electoral votes are at stake.Posted by: zack 2004-03-08 |
