Poll: Almost half in U.S. creationist
WASHINGTON, April 26 (UPI) -- Good news for the White House: John Kerry is trailing or tied with President Bush in many states Democrats won in 2000 and that may decide the election.
A survey of various national polls, released Monday by the Washington Times, shows Bush doing far better in key Democratic-leaning states in the Northeast and Midwest than expected.
For example, the president is leading in Michigan and Pennsylvania, two of the nation's largest industrial states that carry a combined 38 electoral votes.
And Bush is in near-ties with the Massachusetts senator in New Jersey, Oregon, Maryland and Iowa -- all states that Al Gore won in 2000.
Kerry aides blame Bush's heavy TV ad campaign and say they will turn their polling numbers around once the senator's new TV ads are fully up and running in these and other targeted states.
"After $55 million of negative attack ads, we should be trailing by double digits, and still we are in a dead heat in Michigan or up by a couple of points in other battleground states," Kerry campaign spokesman David Wade said.
