Kerry Takes Slight One-Point Lead Over Bush


ST. LOUIS (Reuters) - Democratic challenger John Kerry moved into a slight one-point lead over President Bush in a tight White House race, according to a Reuters/Zogby poll released Saturday.

Kerry pulled ahead of Bush 46-45 percent in the latest three-day tracking poll, which concluded before the start of Friday night's televised debate between the two contenders in St. Louis, Missouri.

The two had been in a statistical dead heat in the previous poll, with Bush leading by less than one percentage point.

The slight advantage for the Massachusetts senator, well within the poll's margin of error, was helped by continued improvement in his standing with his core Democratic supporters.

Kerry earned support from 83 percent of Democrats, 88 percent of blacks, 79 percent of Jews and 65 percent of single voters. Kerry led by a 2-to-1 margin in union households.

"This is good evidence that Kerry is consolidating his base," pollster John Zogby said.

Bush had support of 87 percent of Republicans, 51 percent of investors and 53 percent of married voters, while the two candidates were locked in dead heat among Catholics and households with armed forces members.
