Kerry within 6 points of Dean in N.H. poll

Hot off the wires:

Democratic presidential hopeful Howard Dean leads rival John Kerry in New Hampshire, according to a new poll.

Dean, the former Vermont governor, leads Kerry by 6 percentage points in the survey by Suffolk University for WDHD-TV, a slightly smaller margin from a September poll. Dean was favored by 25 percent while Kerry, the Massachusetts senator, was backed by 19 percent. Dean led 26 percent to 17 percent last month.

In this poll, Kerry's favorable rating increased from 58 percent in late September to 66 percent in mid-October. Almost that many, 60 percent, viewed Dean favorably.

I am pleased about this poll, Kerry seems to be gaining ground.
