Poll: Almost half in U.S. creationist
DETROIT, Oct. 21 (UPI) -- President George W. Bush has taken a 5-point lead over Democratic Sen. John Kerry in Michigan, 47 percent to 43 percent, a Detroit News poll found.
The president's lead is within the tracking poll's 5 percentage point sampling error. The newspaper polled 400 likely voters statewide Monday and Tuesday and plans to track voter sentiment in the race over the final days of the campaign.
Kerry held a slight lead in Michigan in the most recent polling. Bush had not held the lead in a Detroit News poll since June, when he was virtually tied with the Democratic challenger, 44 percent to 43 percent.
The Kerry campaign considers Michigan's 17 electoral votes a must-win.
Bush still lags behind the critical 50 percent level, indicating the race remains extremely close in Michigan. The next Detroit News poll will sample 600 likely voters through next week.
