New Poll Results Show Kerry in Lead

A new poll by the Los Angeles Times (6/5-6/8, MoE 3%) shows Democratic Presidential candidate John Kerry leading President Bush by seven percentage points: 51-44 (LA Times). The poll also finds President Bush's positive marks in the war in iraq, the war on terror, and numerous domestic policies, including energy, economic, and health care policies, dropping to new lows. Battleground state (states that are not predicated to go heavily Democratic or Republican) numbers show a much tighter race than the national numbers indicate with the President leading in Missouri and tied in Ohio and Wisconsin.
