Poll: Almost half in U.S. creationist
CLEVELAND, July 21 (UPI) -- Democrat John Edwards wrapped up a three-day campaign swing that drew a wide range of questions from U.S. voters despite its theme of battling poverty.
The New York Times concluded Saturday the trip that took Edwards to New Orleans and Cleveland produced mixed results as some low-income voters seemed more interested in Iraq and immigration than they did in issues tied to the nation's so-called working poor.
The newspaper said that while most voters who came into contact with Edwards this week liked him, a large number were not yet prepared to say they would vote for him in 2008.
Edwards has claimed poverty as a signature issue to distinguish himself from the others in the crowded Democratic field. Edwards has said embracing poverty as a top issue was not purely political strategy but rather "a calling."
