MANCHESTER, N.H. (Reuters) - Democratic presidential contender John Kerry (news - web sites) holds a shrinking three-point lead over Howard Dean (news - web sites) on the eve of the New Hampshire primary, according to a Reuters/MSNBC/Zogby poll released Monday.


Dean shaved four points off Kerry's advantage in the latest three-day tracking poll, as supporters who wavered after his dismal third-place Iowa finish and screaming concession speech appeared to be returning to the fold.


Kerry led Dean 31 percent to 28 percent in the new poll, with John Edwards (news - web sites) jumping three points to narrowly trail Wesley Clark (news - web sites) for third place, 13 percent to 12 percent. Connecticut Sen. Joseph Lieberman (news, bio, voting record) remained static at 9 percent.
