[Nicholas_J]

-- Two polls of likely Democratic primary voters show Senator John Kerry leading Senator John Edwards by at least 3 to 1 in New York, one of 10 states holding contests tomorrow in the fight for the party's presidential nomination.

A Quinnipiac University Poll showed Kerry ahead at 63 percent to 21 percent for Edwards, with 5 percent for the Reverend Al Sharpton and 3 percent for U.S. Representative Dennis Kucinich. A survey by the Marist Institute for Public Opinion found Kerry with 69 percent, Edwards 15 percent, Sharpton 5 percent and Kucinich 2 percent.

The Quinnipiac survey of 504 likely Democratic voters from Feb. 24-29 had a margin of error of plus or minus 4.4 percent, according to a press release from the Hamden, Connecticut-based polling institute. The Marist survey of 397 likely Democratic voters, taken Feb. 28-29, had a margin of error of plus or minus 5 percent, according to a statement from Marist, which is based in Poughkeepsie, New York.
