NEW YORK, Feb. 5 (UPI) -- John Kerry holds a big lead over other Democratic presidential contenders as Saturday's Michigan primary nears, a new poll said Thursday.
The Massachusetts senator was favored by 47 percent of the state's voters, according to the MSNBC-Zogby Poll, helped greatly by a broad coalition of supporters.
Howard Dean was second with 10 percent, followed by John Edwards with 9 percent and Wesley Clark 4 percent, the survey showed.
"It will be hard to stall this Kerry engine in the Motor City state," pollster John Zogby said. "He has wide support from every sub-group. While the top issue is clearly the economy, electability is the major factor driving Kerry's lead. He by far and away trumps the other candidates in this category."
